Give it your best shot Folk's,,,,

Here's my little job to keep the kid's happy during the half term school holiday
the base is 3/4 waterproof chipboard with 2x2" battens to give it some ridgidity, the track is a mixture of Hornby (curves) and Peco flextrack, it only took a couple of evenings to do, the next job is a backdrop made from 3/16" masonite painted blue, as long as the kid's are happy, i'm happy

Their smiles say it all.

I just did a tiny bit of railfanning, and mostly it was fun! Got two pics with a mini tripod, and they turned out good for the 15 seconds the shutter was open.

Now what's next? Getting the backdrop and scenery in the last three pictures up to par for photographs....

If I am not having as much fun as those kids, then I am taking my 'hobby' too seriously.

Every time it rains or is cloudy the Col/San area here in Bucyrus /(Oh) seems to be the busiest..So without further ado here's the proof.I also saw 2 other NS trains but,could not take a picture due to rain..

 

[Steve B]

Great pic's everyone, one for GM there Brakie.
What a problem it is getting the children out of the garage, they are living in there and the moment, Robert did come out once to let this little itty bitty spider go he found

 

[RexHea]

Hey Steve, leave that spider in there to run your power lines.

Steve: Well done and in record time and to think Rome wasn't built in 7 days and only because the Romans didn't have Steve!

BRAKIE, I love the shot of the ex-DRGW GP35. The ex-CNW hopper is nice too.

Thanks for sharing

 

[Carlos Perea]

It looks very nice, but the 737-200 flying toward the ground in the last two shots is a bit disconcerting.

 

[RexHea]

I'm with you Carlos!
That pilot best pull up on the yoke quick.
