Jim,
Thanks for the tip I'll try to figure that one out. I bought the Camera second hand and didn't get the manual with it so I'm going to stop by a camaera shop that could tell me what all the fuctions do.
BTW the Loco is an FA-1 not a PA, I guess the shot makes it seem longer than it really is?
 
RJR Staturday

Got a bit more adventurous today and modified the station lampost idea to make some triple headed yard lighting.

As Steve B commented the standard of the exhibits today was very high. The layout he has posted pics of first with the overhead wires was excellent. I stood and watched for 30 mis and didnt see the same train pass twice !

Didnt quite have as much to bring home. Just a landrover for the police down the subway

Does anyone know why those switchers of Smoke's have chevrons painted all over them? Is this some sort of decoration.

Nice pictures everyone btw.

Lousy pix I'll post here too. Couldn't get a good focus on the street signs. This is what I've been doing lately, street signs on every corner of town.

Posted this photo on another forum, in their black and white theme of the month:

It's an HO scale VIA Rail F40PH-2 by Model Power (I think) that I extensively kitbashed and detailed many years ago because that's all there was available at the time.

Posed in front of the real local VIA station, which is no longer in use as we lost our passenger trains quite a few years ago.
 
Great work as usual folks!

I've been doing some more scenery in what little spare time I have had. This is in the area continuing around the bend from Hopewell Junction toward Bare Mountain (an aptly named logging camp.... And if you were from around these parts you would know the counterpart "Bare Hill" from a Seneca Legend).

First shot shows the Plaster cloth finally covering the hilltop. This is loosely patterned after the Endless Mountains of the Southern Tier of NY and Upper Tier of PA. There will be a farm on the top of the hill.

The basic Soil paint added:

And finally, with the stone face stained and the beginning of the tree line. I hope I remember my 8th. Grade Art class and the concept of perspective as this develops.....

Oh, remember the old Kindergarten song, "The Bear Went Over the Mountain? Well so did I (Being chased by the bear.....) So here is the "Other Side of the Mountain....

Been a slow week at the Aurora & Portland. Just a couple of engines made it to the paint shop.

The building crew on the other hand has put up this 200 X 70 foot monster. Hopefully next week the roofing crew will get the roof on it.
