This weekend is shaping up into another good one!
Jeffrey, that park scene is coming together quite nicely. One suggestion: Maybe some Flat Aluminum paint on the swingset and other playground apparatus, then it would all look totally real!
Grampy - great scenes as always
Crandell - those Niagras were definitely one of the most elegant designs to grace the rails, they look great either along the Lake Erie waterfront or in the mountains where yours is!
John RJR - That waterfront keeps looking better with every passing week
Steve - looks like you and the boys are having lotsa fun with those tanques. But we'll lure you back from the Dark Side one of these days, bwahahahahaha!
Michael - I envy you having that large basement, that'll make a great future home for those Dash 8's and the rest of your fleet!
Paul M. - The Genesis SD60M in BN colors is downright stunning! I sure hope that someday, BNSF will do some of their newer locos in that 'heritage' scheme - I sure do miss it, and I'm not even from BN territory.
Ray - glad to see you've gotten past your chute dilemma, the coal tower looks great!
Boilerman - welcome to the World of Weathering, that Grande hopper sure looks like it seen better days LOL!
Current gas prices have obliterated my model train budget, so nothing new from me this week - just a different view of a part of the layout that's still under construction (needs a facia). I wanted to PhotoShop something that can't be portrayed in real-time, i.e., dust billowing as a bucketload of is dumped into a Terex off-road dump truck. (Click here to see the non-PhotoShop'd image)

Ray on your cable issue . Have you thought about using fine wire ?

You're the second to suggest that. I may if just gluing with some tension doesn't do the trick (the threads are already in so that would be the quick fix...) Thanks!

Got a bunch of projects completed this week. Finally the CSX GP40-2 project is at an end.
Finished up a couple of leased units that are headed north to the WCTR in Wisconsin.
And finally, I needed a crane truck for the JTEX shops. Used a Boley GMC Topkick and a Promotex crane.

Today I decided to give the hard-working NYCS locomotives a rest and ran some MMA power. Here is the YouTube video. Make sure your volume is turned up, and click the link at the bottom to watch it in high quality:

Here's what I did all day today (besides getting sun burnt)...
ATSF 3751 pulling her train South...

Returning to the Wye to turn around
View attachment 9797
Bellowing steam
View attachment 9798
The turn around process took over 2 hours. The P42 separated, and entered the wye. After a Surfliner passed, 3751 entered the wye, VERY slowly. Another Surfliner passed, an the P42 emerged from the other side. After another Surfliner passed, 3751 emerged. They started back south to hook back up to the train, as the 5th Surfliner passed headed the same direction.

Hi Tom: All I can say is "WOW", what a great weathering job. That's what I intend to start in the near future. I can only wish my results will be half as good as yours. Again, wonderful photos!
