Smoke 'em if you got 'em - fresh salmon fillets that is . .

No trains today but I do have a half salmon, two turkey thighs and a pork roast in the smoker right now.  Applewood.  Made some homemade BBQ sauce based on root beer.

Another hour and dinner is ready ;D

I'm with Roger...I've got 4 racks of babybacks in my smoker.  I just tossed in a few baker potatoes wrapped in damp paper towels with butter and then tin foil for the last couple of hours.  I should be eating in an hour or so.

I added another loco to the excursion fleet, I wasnt going to miss it a second time around. Tsunami installed and is C55 approved.


I actually completed something this week:

Comparison to the original. I used some Jimmowill Models wheels and cleaned up the grille and wheelsets a bit.



This was an unexpected surprise, I picked up some of this Bachmann flatcars they recently released. They are comparable to Atlas Trainman flats however they are not the same tooling that has been floating around. They need the typical details but the loads are very passable with some strapping! They are not exact to the WM class but "good enough" and the paint was just about right.








At this point I'm actually considering picking some more up!

Leo,
 Quick correction..... CINTRAK is Central Indiana N-Trak I believe. Our NTrak club in Cincinnati is Tri-State Ntrak.

Did a little rail fanning in Cajon Pass...
Photos taken on Ron Sipkovich's N Scale Cajon Pass layout.

TEASE!

Both the layout and the spines look gorgeous!

Spines would like better with some Gary Hinshaw weathering and some 53' BLMA trailers though

Went to the CRHS Membership Meeting today.

Only had three non-board members show up. Too bad. When people participate, they get to do cool stuff. Like check out the signals we recently rescued:



Guess where THOSE came from.

Well, I've been working on a GCLaser kit for the small industrial building along with the MT SP station in z scale.  We had a discussion about how to cover up the seams on the GCLaser kit.  I used joint compound to get a stucco look, but had some warping and cracking occur due to the cardboard construction moving around. 

This building is only 2" tall!
