I don't think this was an reckless drone because I hear the womp womp womp of the rotor at times . They had to have permission , or was hired to take the video by UP .

Nice! 8)

This week I made progress on this mill kitbash, more in my layout thread.



Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!

Looks like any mill in any mill town in New England and that is a compliment. Well done. Is there a river nearby?

Forgive the follow up.  I was finally able to bring these two together after having completed the B-13 years ago.

Did NP run those push/pull?

I don't think so.  The original B-8 (the trailer car) may have had controls in the B end when built as a motor car, but I'm sure these were removed when made into an unpowered coach.  People more knowledgeable than me may have a better answer.

Well, the canal is modeled on the layout. So I would say "yes".   See https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=39184.0

Trunkeyville the module is updated and see that thread, but the 'fun detail' that I finally figured out was PRR station signs.  And remember, I'm not really a PRR guy, this is all new to me.

I haven't made much progress on my layout the last months, but I managed to take some time today to snap a few photos. I figure it looks appropriately cloudy and dark to match the weather we've had here in the mid Atlantic the past week!



Great shots this week guys.

Caleb.

Probably drone.  The womp womp was percussion reverb on the music.  Took off way to close to the overhead wires for an actual helicopter, although, the camera is fairly high off the ground.

Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

We took an interesting trip to Prague, Vienna and Salzburg recently, arriving back home last Sunday.  A sample of tram action in Prague shown below.  More in the Proto Photo section.

I haven't modeled in a while, but when Hellgate re-released the B60b, I needed to get one. I wasn't too keen on some of the gaps between the roof/body and some other niggles, but I can't complain too much. Still needs stirrups and touch-up.
