I love the Pennsy theme going.

Last week I got some plastering done.

My Dad got the name plate mounted to the fascia.

I have more pictures and videos at my progress link below.

Nice work, Grampy...love the crispness of that shot! Depth ain't too shabby.

Nice scenic work, MoG. But I am insanely jealous of your excellent keystone...where the heck did you get it? Me want one!

Thanks, My Dad bought if from factorydirecttrains.com. But, I just check their website and it doesn't look like they have them anymore. I think it was only $10. It worked out perfect for this area.

Well--I tried my hand at close up photography. I just discovered that I missed my macro button---crab complain bellyache.

Here is what I've been working on so far---I'll get better pix later

This is the Denfield New Life complex---or at least a representation of same had there been tracks through there-

My photo for the week. Picked this up off fleabay for just over $50 with shipping, old Alco models brass RS11 with a decent paint job for the D&H, lighted headlights, numberboards and class lights. Didnt run to well, came from a smoking home, some of the yellowing cleaned off, but I left the rest, kind of makes it look like a dirty Alco as they many times were. Once I soot it up a bit more, it will look good. I upgraded to 8 wheel electrical pickup and cleaned all the old grease out of the gear boxes, it had turned to a paste like substance. New Labelle lube and it runs smooth and quiet for an Alco Models. Cheers Mike

That backdrop really makes the scene. It's blends right in with your RR. Excellent job!!!!

 

[Myowngod]

The modern day Philly backdrop looks a little off with a Norfolk & Western steam engine in front of it, but still a beautiful engine. You're a lucky man.

 

[mtrpls]

The backdrop looks MUCH better now!!! Did you end up lowering it, cutting some off the bottom? Please remind me what medium you printed it on...?

 

[jeffrey-wimberly]

That backdrop looks absolutely stunning. Makes mine look like a kindergartners drawing by comparison.

I thought I would look back ar some older pics and found this.

These are a long ways from the mill. it is a rare find of a certain wood but not enough material here to set up a mill so get it cut loaded and send it off to the mill. they get about 3 or 4 cars a week out of here and it is about a 3 day trip to the mill including time sitting in 1 major yard and 1 small yard.
