Weekly Photo Fun 13 - 19 May

Did some work on remodeling my Allied Rail Rebuilders Module. They finally got a back-up generator/fuel tank, and some chain-link fencing installed. The driveway was re-laid using actual dirt.

I like what you did with the dirt. I have used real dirt on two scenes of my layout to capture the look/colour of the area I model.

I noticed the mountains in the BG. Where is the location? Is it British Columbia or Washington State? Or somewhere else?

Time for some detailing and lots of weathering. It's waaaaay too clean!

Great stuff from everybody as usual!! Been a while since I contributed to WPF. The Lobuc Valley just rolled our 2 newest units out of the paint shop. They're the first EMD F units we've had so the paint shop supervisor came up with a new image for them. They're older Atlas / Roco FP7's. #2061 has been fitted with a Hancock air chime extracted from a boxcar full of parts we got from the New Haven.

Local scalawags kept ignoring the signs along the river banks that said: "Danger - No Swimming" so the town council hired a security guard instead.

LOL Great choice of guard.

Playing around with the camera settings some to experiment with depth of field. Zoom at 55 F29 and 20 second exposure at iso 100.

Greetings y'all,

I know most of you will be wondering what I've been up to, where I am, and what neat things I've seen. To help with that, I've established a new Live Journal to keep y'all updated.

I am currently assigned to Sperry Rail Car #124, ( http://www.trainweb.org/elso/SRS124A.HTM ) which was built in 1925 for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. It was converted to a rail flaw detection vehicle in the 1930's and has served with Sperry ever since. Today was my first day, and I'm already driving it. EXCITING!!!

Please bookmark my journal, as I wont be spamming the forums making posts about my daily life as a railcar driver (the descendant of the motorman...)

Y'all stay safe!

Great guard!

What did you use for water?

Mike - Most swimming holes have 'life' guards. It appears you have a 'Death' guard!
