I have been super busy doing many things other than modeling but did finish these and primer them this weekend. This is the first time I have had a chance to post to the Weekend Update thread.

I hope to paint them tonight. Each will be a different color.   

Anyone care to guess what they are before they are painted?





It's 88 now here in Washington, the pool was good but now it's time for another Red Stripe.

Well I didn't get much done this week, having spent the last 4 days partying in a cow pasture with what seemed like 10,000 hippies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Country_Fair) - though I will confess I never actually left the parking lot/campground and actually saw the fair (but I did buy gen-u-wine moonshine).

However before that I got a little further on 2317, painting the walkways and ends black.  I need to do some touch-ups and a few washes before I'm done (then re-install the couplers).  There are actually 3 GP38's I'm working on right now (Tigard, Dallas, and Independence) that I hope to finish this week.

Wrapping up an in-depth article comparing the Z scale AZL GP7 and the Micro-Trains GP9. Text is done (~2800 words, so it's pretty thorough); just need to take photos.

damn, i never thought to ask about that, i was more concerned with getting a large basement for the PRR/MILW/Conrail/PC/Chessie/B&O/Montour/Union RR/WP layout i'm planning.

Strap rail? Gotta take it back further, to wooden planks, first used in Europe around 1350 AD.

Or back even further, to grooves cut in limestone, circa 600 BC in Greece--by all accounts the longest-running railroad, too--1,300 years.
