Warning: no tracks or trains.....sorry

Very nice pictures Steve( nice garden too:D ) and Kevin!!
Here is my small contribution.
I finished my right "Maasbrug"module.
I added some trees,"pimped" the large pier on the midle of the ( not seen) bridge,some cars and finished the bridgehead and on the other side.
Just for fun, I made a small landing stage with 2 women on it waiting for the ferryman( and his boat!:D )


The other module will be updated next week...
Have a nice MRR weekend!

On the third picture I placed the background of my old layout behind the module: Now it looks like you are in the: "Schwarzwald"/Germany;)

Well, nothing new YET, besides my first two officially published railfan shots from my Cajon Pass modeling research trip yesterday. I was going to make it a 2 day affair, but my brakes started acting up so I drove home, to get new brakes today.

I like to call this my "busted window collection".
BNSF 4477, Dash 9 on Cajon Pass helper duty, got a nice smashed window. I shot this in Victorville, at 2:34pm, and saw her just outside of San Bernardino around 5:30PM.

UP 9950, SD40-2 at the Barstow Train Museum, someone smashed out the window.

First one I've seen Miles! It's been there some where around 2 years now. They've even got intermodal! There's a 48' NACS container there too, though that could be used for storage.
 


SD40-2s in Museums already... Yikes!

Awesome shots everybody!! I hope to get some good shots of my most recent Purchase of a BLI SD40-2 NS# 1649 ... gotta pickup a decoder for it first!

How to get Fired

How does one get fired quickly? Put the Blue Streak Merchandise on the ground!

Someone left a switch open around a curve on me while I was trying to close the one behind my train. Oops! Got out the 0-5-0 Rerailing Frog Device and had the BSM on its way again in no time...with a new crew. :)
 
Josh is that a Athearn RTR AC4400, or is it a C44-9W?
SSW that is one purty loco!:cool:
A couple miscellaneous pictures of some of my custom painted models. I better sell the BN one soon, i'm getting attached to it.:rolleyes:

AC4400 Smoke.

I have a similiar AC4400 with Details West(?) Hi Ad sideframes but they hit the frame so the locomotive is only good for straight track. Did you have a similiar problem? how'd you fix it?
 
Its a newer run RTR, so it came with the side frames. Though I did have this problem with my Kaslo SD50F, I just filed the corners of the side frames, and the ladder wells so they have more clearance.
 


Hi all, lotsa great stuff on here as always!

Jos - your pics give a whole new meaning to the old saying, "Great things come in small packages!"

Josh - that CN unit is lookin' good, is it a Genesis or Kato?

Here's my offering. Not much, since my regular work area and photo studio have been temporarily 'reclaimed' by the CFO thru Monday night. But I did manage to get this one on my picnic table long enough for a single shot. It's an Atlas master series GP38 that I upgraded to an early-production GP38-2, bought by L&N and later painted into CSX colors - lightly seasoned to taste:

Proto: http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/GP38-2/2570CSX-bc.jpg

(It's not quite finished - still needs a horn, a plow, and side window awnings.)
