Same Ol' Buzzard
I posted this in the Coffee Shop last week.
I see it as an adventure. Especially with the huge upgrade we are getting!I don't envy you or anyone else who has to tear down your layout to try to relocate it to another building. I'm looking forward to watching your progress.
I'm still in the dreaming/planning stage and I'm enjoying that!For me, the fun is as much in the building as in the having.
Nice, and unique piece of rail rolling stock.This showed up. Not sure what you'd need to haul that weighs 370 tons but if you do, here's your car.
Actually, it is a day off the printer and minutes out of the spray booth. All the visible (and some you can't see from here) brake piping is in the print. The steps are brass because they'd be taken out by the first derailment. The trucks have lettering on them so small you could write it on the side of a stack of 2 sheets of paper. Amazing...

I'm not sure if a flat car this big has ever visited the Pacific Northwest. Usually, we barge our big shipments close to where they need to go then put them on a truck. We also have lots of tunnels.
Paul, here’s a few loads you could print for that car…
Flatcars and Oversize Loads
Flat cars are interesting because of the loads they carry. Special flatcars are built for extra high, long, and/or heavy loads. If the load ...industrialscenery.blogspot.com

These photos remind me of some of the historic photos of railroads that have closed and were abandoned. It's very realistic looking, that theme would make for an interesting diorama subject.Looks like a tornado went through here, just a bear roaming around on the streets and a few odd things left standing:

While I was removing the buildings, I found this forgotten bear. When I set him on one of the old roads, that was my thought.These photos remind me of some of the historic photos of railroads that have closed and were abandoned.

Grab some black and white shots without the facia showing up.While I was removing the buildings, I found this forgotten bear. When I set him on one of the old roads, that was my thought.
Makes me want to have a bigger open space on the new layout.
Thanks for commenting!!!

That's a good shot. Looks like storm clouds gathering over the prairie.Here is a sample:

I have 8 photos in B and W. All the buildings are down, and track will be coming out as soon as the benchwork is done in the new shed, probably early next week.
Looks really different with the buildings out. When I built it, I landscaped everything then put in the buildings, so there is usually ground cover in the building pads.

Thats post-apocalyptic looking. Only Smokey is left.Here is a sample:

Great photo! Having many of the books on the Colorado Midland, it reminds me of some of the photos in them of the CM just before the tracks were torn up.Here is a sample:

Even in the process of being dismantled, it retains its beauty.Looks really different with the buildings out.
