Gary, great scene love the crew change!
What did you use for the fence?
Jerome great job on the BB but looks a little long for a switcher...;)
 
We are supposed to hit a record high of 84 today, but looking at that snow scene made me shiver. Great shot.

Thanks Rico....I used materials that I already had lying around, for the cross members I used 1/16 x.014 copper tubing and for the posts I used 2 inch Brad Nails which I cut down to an inch and three quarters...I then soldered the nails to the tubing at 2 inch spacings...After the frame was finished I gave it a couple of coats of silver paint...I then cut and affixed aluminum screen with fine silver wire.
 


So after seeing this picture, I wanted to recreate this train

I finished the first unit the 470 MEC

This was a walthers gp9m decaled as BM 380 ( not a real engine) so I redecaled it and I'm detailing it as I go....

Also this wonderful picture was not taken by me. I thank Ken for taking a great picture!
 


I stuck this one in the -2 thread but it can go here as well.
A Gp38-2 and SD40-2B bring up the rear of an eastbound consist crossing the Wallace River in late summer, 1996. Of course a cloud came the same time as the train.
