I haven't started this in a while, so I'll take a stab.
This is the first time I have run trains since the Sunrise club closed down last fall... my friend Matt and I went to a friend's house to run trains with a couple other folks we know. This layout is amazing! It was without a doubt the best time I ever had running trains.
This was also the debut of my new modeling prototype: the modern Rock Island. I'll let Matt post more New York Central photos later. I ran my executive train. Unfortunately, my camera batteries died before I could get photos of my Metra train.
What a Great start gent's, love the new look Rock Island loco, and the BNSF & Southern loco's, very nice indeed.
I just bought this 1/87th scale Dragline excavator, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tasty or what this is going to give me the kick up the kyber pass to get me re-motivated it's all metal construction with etched metal walkways and other detail,,,, damn good looking if you ask me
Zephyr/Mtropls - Your what-if schemes look great on Don Meekins' layout, especially those viaducts! Has he ever had his layout featured in MR? It looks like the type of layout they like.
Smoke, fine weathering job on the BNSF AC4400. Gonna do that with any of your Tuxedo units?
Steve, about that dragline crane: I'm totally envious <just kidding LOL> Great find! Are you planning to muddy-up those crawler tracks before you place it in the quarry?
Crandell that trestle shot looks like it could've been the cover of MR, or at the very least, RMC; You got talent my friend!
Decoder installations aren't very photogenic, so I'll have to scrape one up from the archives. Some of you have seen this 'retro' shot before, I entered it in one of the photo contests ~ a year ago:
Steve B. When your nice new bit of kit has finished working on your layout I have some work for it over here LOL
I have been tiling a customers bathroom all week, with travatine stone tiles and waterproof adhesive..mmmm.. waterproof !!!
seemed to work okay, Im spending the rest of the morning painting and weathering the building
At the opposite end of the layout I have added a signal box and signal to protect the point into the yard, its for my benefit really. The point cant be seen easily I just need to set the signal to remind me not to run over it when its set wrong
I have also built a peco station kit and created a couple of platforms
