The only other station to build yet is the PRR Huntingdon station.  But i am in no hurry to start it yet. 

Thanks,

Scott

It would appear I need one too!  Please let me know how you would proceed.

really like seeing the Archer rivet decals being used to advantage...I want to try these for a number of projects, but was deterred by seeing only 'HO' and 'O' scales listed...these look suitably small...at least for my needs...
What size are these?

Bruce:

These came from an N Scale set #8024.

Scott,
That is my plan as my layout down under will be based on Huntingdon. Doug Nelson has also based his layout on the Huntingdon, PA station but for a through station it has it all. Station, street level crossing, interesting buildings, sub way road, four track main line, freight depot. highway over bridge, classic industrial buildings and a great looking tower. All that into a layout and no need for electrics but able to run just about any other loco on the system, either steam or diesel. If my memory serves me correctly the main station building can be made from multiples of a single pattern for the front and rear but I have not been able to access good pics of the western end of the building. The rock cutting just to the east has that signature Appalachian fold line angle to the strata. In one of the Morning Sun books there is a particular small photographic essay on Huntingdon.
Regards

Working on a AMB pickle car but didn't want to use my Red Caboose flat car as the base, so I built a generic one from scraps.  Not a lot of proto photos out there but I like the look of this a little better.

Do I spy a SD60E?

No SD60E in this pic, but I do have one.

[Leggy]

What's the locomotive beside the NKP GEVO then? (Not the IT ACe).

[bnsfdash8]

It is a SD60M with a PTC antenna farm on top.

Silicon Valley Free-moN is rockin' in the old Ford plant in Richmond, CA this weekend:

Here is a couple of my photos from Saturday at the Richmond, CA train show.  Thanks to M.C. and the other Silicon Valley Free-moN'ers for trackage rights.


K4 comin' around the mountain.

Lovin' that shoo fly .

Worked on my other N scale layout.  Jacob had not shown interest in it for a while, but this weekend he was very enthusiastic.  I think I'd been too reluctant to let him do the more complex tasks, so this weekend I let him ballast and even paint a DPM building.  He seems to be back in the mindset now.

[Jeff AKA St0rm]

Looks good Dave. You know he isn't going to learn if you doesn't let him make mistakes. Let him do all the work that is how he will stay interested. If you do it all then he will lose interest.

Dave,

Im thinking on using the modular sections by DPM.  Im also searching walthers catalog for a building I could kitbash.
