Hello Jeff,

Nice shots. What is the skinny on this little consolidation? What is the make, etc.? I'm curious...

It's an old USRA 0-6-0 made by Bachmann. It was a 1980's offering with a pancake motor. The motor long since burned out and the axle sleeves on the wheels are cracked. I needed an old steam loco for a certain scene and it seemed to be the perfect candidate. Problem was I didn't have a tender to go with it, so I used a UP Grayhound tender a friend had given me. I sprated them both with rusty metal primer, applied a bit of chalk here and there and added some foliage around it. Some of it is still stuck on the model. Here are a few shots of the model in the scene I made for it.

Josh,

I left you some feedback in your video. I encourage you to keep them coming. I always love "how to" videos.

Nice pictures everyone. I love seeing how everyone models their little world.

Jeffrey, that old loco scene is still your best.

Guys, thanks for the compliments. Being compared to that great train photographer is very humbling. I do appreciate the kind words. DJ.

Thanks. Too bad that scene doesn't exist anymore. It became necessary to rip up that part of the layout to accommodate the new track plan. There's an engine house sitting on that location now.

Beautiful work guys!
Jeffery - Letting off a lot of steam lately, looking good. Your little 0-6-0 was our first locomotive, found the entire train set at a shop closing up for $15. I bought it for my son for Christmas and the rest is history.

Well I finished my latest project and took advantage of one the last nice days to take some portrait shots. Now to put it on the layout and I will follow up with some pictures then.

I have another Bachmann 0-6-0 that's even older (70's vintage) than that one and it still runs. It originally had an open frame motor but was rebuilt and remotored with a can motor. I picked it up as part of an inheritance. The Bachmann 4-8-4 (fully operational) in my photo from today is one that I picked up at a yard sale for $5.

I managed to get another car done this week- this time it is an Athearn airslide lettered for the Milwaukee Road. The car was stripped (started as a WP car) and painted aluminum, the decaled with home-made MILW decals (from Adobe Illustrator), ACI and Lube plates from Microscale, Kadee couplers, airhoses and uncoupling levers- the car was weathered with washes to represent the car as it appeared in the mid-70s.
