Post them if you got them.

For me, I took down some of the old original sections of the layout, and will rebuild them with modular sections.

Ditto - My layout is gone, room cleaned and organized and off to Home Depot to kill a few trees. Happy Easter from Sunny California.

Slow weekend recovering from major oral surgery last week. My wife was thrilled that I was silent for several days.  ;D  I did take the time to finish the artwork for the SP C-30-4 Caboose and revised the artwork for the Nn3 DRGW Stockcar. I also started packaging this to sell. Chain that is 52 LPI (Links Per Inch).

I just filled one of my Picasa albums - there are now 500 photographs of prototype trains in one album. Haven't really done much modeling so far this year.

Hi, everybody,

The obligatory Kato N scale Daylight shots on my layout:





Amazing that Kato Japan can produce a steam locomotive in N scale of this
quality at the price that they do.

Have a good week, all!

Since we had 2" of snow today, which all melted in a few hours, I took the opportunity to get some snaps.

Okay, that just doesn't look like anything...

It's been three years since my camera ventured up to Westover, the highest point on my layout, some 30 inches above the start. Nothing's changed, so here's a shot from back then.

Still suffering from the passenger bug.....

A Puddington Valley Combine (# 75) has been tailing some locals.....







This "in progress" shot shows the colour a bit better.....



The car was an Atlas combine - it received some more windows and the "usual treatment" - gold metal steps and ladders, marker lights, window shades and passengers.....

I also have begun to build a small collection of foreign road Pullman's and sleepers; many of these could be found as part of summer CP Canadian and CN Super Continental consists so it gives me an excuse to model a few oddities.....

First off the bench (well not off, it's not finished as you can see) is a B&O Slumbercoach.....



Sorry for the poor pics... hard to get tuscan and B&O blue to show up..... ::)

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Well I blame Erik... :)

Instead of doing something productive (like working on N-Trak moduals) I went and chopped up a E&C/LBF gondola this weekend.
It still needs to be lowered, detailed & painted but the major surgery is done... 

Edit: the gray putty & white background don't go together well...

I wasn't planning on doing much scenery this year, but the static grass article got me interested again.  Among the rest of the projects, I played with some grass effects.

I also found out the one of my soldering irons is too hot for laying rail. It delaminates the copper cladding from the pc material, oops.  So I need to go and replace some ties to finish the track.

No modeling for me this weekend, I was tilling the garden at my parent's house yesterday morning.  Yesterday afternoon I started some needed maintenance on the boat in order to prepare it for this coming summer.

No modeling here, either; have been putting down a new floor in the family room (basement), of which my office/workshop occupies a third. On the broght side, having to move absolutely everything at least twice has forced me to do some serious re-organizing.

As I've been asked to demonstrate DCC programing at the upcoming Brisbane Train show, I decided I needed an "off the layout" programming track. So over the last week I've come up with this:





I now can program and test decoder equiped locos and alter sound files in Loksound locos.
