The kids are still playing in the park, eh, Jeffrey?

I'd rather they be in the park than in the streets.

I have a video to show this week. I don't know if the camera angle becomes an annoyance to viewers...sorry if it does. I am limited to the use of a point-and-shoot in video mode, and in order to get the views at all, I have to use rubber bands to hold the small camera at one end of a lath of wood. Accordingly, I can't see the view-finder to judge corrections.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it...

That was pretty good Crandell. You did OK considering you couldn't see the viewscreen. I wish my videos came out even half that good.

Gary, that is very nicely done scene.
Crandell, the camera angles you used really makes a dramatic video. It seems that the loco is climbing an almost impossible grade. Very creative.
Joe, I really like the paint scheme on that Wabash loco.
Thanks, Jim, that's a 25 car freight.

As always a fantastic thread! I always look forward to seeing everyone's modeling.
About all I have accomplished that is photogenic at the moment is to finish the basic assembly of 2 more Tichy Train Group Flat cars. Here they are on their first run around the layout.
I have 4 of the 6 now finished (except for some weathering - sometime soon).

Finished (well there is always something more that catches my eye) the stock room area for the Texas & Great Plains machine shop. Piece is really starting to take on life as sections get finished out. Think that I added plenty of details for a room that is only 5" square. Sorry but I did not clean the toilet. Anyway here is a walk around with shots from all four sides. Still have to add a pair of lights and the roof (lift off).

Some fantastic photos posted on this website. here is a photo from my previous OO Scale layout, I have given it the title "Only just I made it".
Crandell, that is a great video and sound, especially considering the fact you were shooting blind. The UP power just added to the ambiance, of course.
Joe, I was going to ask you about the grass in the other photo you posted. It looks as good as any static grass application I've seen. How did you make the applicatior?
Ray, great job on the flatcars. They are a freight car that doesn't get much respect because they seem so simple but you can see the amount of work that went into the decks. It would be a shame to obscure them with a load.
Matt, what can I say? You have more detail in that one building than most of us have on our whole layout. Simply amazing.
OZ, LOL, the older you get, the more you need that loo. That's a really nice town square scene and your trees are outstanding.

I followed the plans on the Z scale trains web site.

The only thing I did different was that I used a 120 VAC negative ion generator because they are easier to get and it works VERY well. It can stand grass up from about two inches away.
A word of caution, the voltage at the screen is very high, around 250 volts. So only use the 120 volt version if you are use to working around and with high voltage.
