Wheeler's Trains
Well let me kick this weeks fun off. I've been working on this one a while now, but I kept it under wraps. I wanted an EJ&E switcher, but I didn't care much for the green SW1500 paint scheme that they use. So, with a little modeler's license, I came up with this. :cool:

I think this building built for LEGO gauge is the perfect model to complement an HO 'spot'. Here is a shot of my CSX GP40-2 without handrails (probably since I got this when I was younger; I was really wishing for an engine), and my two Walthers CSX Cars, a Big Blue and a 72' Centerbeam Flat.

This is where I consider myself "starting from", HO-wise. The CSX Geep is not DCC ready, and I have many more cars, but most of them might be in the selling line since I do not intend to keep them. I'll post them in the For Sale forum sometime later.
 


Finally almost finished my Scratchbuilt Container Crane this week. Gotta come up w/a better track idea than rails.

Very colourful pictures, fellas. Nice modelling, and very colourful.

In my contribution after a couple of weeks away, I show a highly unlikely meet. On the main, a UP TTT-6 thunders past a rumbling and waiting, futuristic, SD-75M from the Santa Fe. As each engineer stares at the other machine and make eye contact, they think, "One of us is dreamin'!"

:D

C&S Superintendents house is coming together nicely, still some trim to add especially about the bay window and the interior needs to be completed in the parlor. Scratch built a pair of wood porch swings today, one for both the front porch and the back porch, they are hung with chains and swing freely.
 
Now a question, does anyone know of a source for trucks like these, ie with a large motor wheel and a much smaller idler wheel. The photo is of an overturned trolley in 1911.
 
My first structure after returning to the hobby after a ten year absence, and my first attempt at a (mostly) styrene project. It's not quite finished....still needs downspouts and eaves brackets. I'll add a station sign when I decide where it's going:)
