All the posts during the week. It's more of a joke, because its titled weekend photo fun, but he was posting away all week.

Why not? Go all week I say. Have camera, will click!

This pic was somewhat tricky to get. It was taken from the roof of the Midtown Consolidators shipping office.

Jeffrey,
Where did you get those roof vents? I need some like that.

I thought that guy looked a little too good!

 

[Maxitrains]

Actually I donno if the scale of that guy is good comapred to the loco, since I don't see people on real ones. So I tried to guess a person's height on the loco. I took a closeup shot of my RS-3, found a guy that could fit the position and had the good lighting to match with the loco, and then fitted him in there

Well I have paid off my SD40-2 but havent received it yet. I am guessing it'll take UPS till monday to get it shipped here.

Two MRL locos with chop noses. 4555 is Athearn GP7 with lowered nose and removed dynamic brake blister.
651 is RailPower SD9 with a new cab, fans and fuel tank.

 

[jbaakko]

Wow, well here's a start. I detailed this unit for a member of another forum, for half the value of an Athearn RTR CP AC4400. The other half will be used in the future towards a super detailed, and custom painted DM&IR SD45-2.

Nicely done, but if you notice there's some thing that looks a little funny in that picture. Let's see if you can tell me what it is
