WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 5-29-15-??

These arrived this afternoon. Nice cars...serious drag in the trucks! My little PRR Flyer 4-4-2 really struggles in curves with these! 

 

I'm thinking of buying an MTH LIRR engine to pull them permanently. 

 

 

New MTH Dreyfuss Hudson on the layout...

 

 

Thanks,

More ground cover down,tomorrow we will put down grass and bushes around the light tower... Happy weekend!!!

This week I changed up downtown with swapping out the Menards bar and grill with WS's Corner Emporium.  I like the Menards building, but it just didn't seem to go with the other buildings.  I still need another corner building for the right-side.

 

Before:

 

After:

B&M 6211 preserved at Bedford Park in Bedford Mass.

 

 

I am finally able to run the Ca Zephyr,got the Observation and 6-5 Sleeper today.

Put some grass around the light tower today.

Here are some seldom seen Weaver Alco FA2s that I added a scale coupler to the lead unit. They have TMCC and Railsounds. I posted these on the FS Board a few days ago to gain some space and thought I'd post a couple of photos here before they are gone. 

Really pretty in black with the striking WM 'Fireball'...

 

 Some shots from the Wrong Way RR suspended layout. I spent the morning cleaning the workshop, so I decided it was time for some train action.

Our roundhouse cat, Marshall, lounging in the afternoon sun yesterday at Greenfield Village. He's named after the town of Marshall, MI, which is where the original Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee railroad (later Michigan Central) roundhouse was located.

 

 

Getting engines ready for next week.

 

 

 

Here's a classic I rescued from an antique store today- $5 bucks

Atlas C628 Freight action (TMCC) ...

 

 

Lionel Legacy SD40-1 Freight Run (wow the difference between Atlas with TMCC/RailSounds and Legacy is day and night)

 

 

Thanks for viewing!

Mikey - I love the tinplate track with ballast and extra ties!!!

 

 

While train watching, it was always fun to see a cut of outfit cars in the consist of a road switcher.  And after 1967, you would not see passenger cars on the Slaton division unless you caught some outfit cars in a freight train. ATSF maintenance of way cars were commonly repainted to a silver color.  I jazzed up one of my road switchers with a tanker, box car, and this MTH baggage car.  It is an MTH 70' baggage/REA car repainted silver and decorated with custom printed water slide decals. It is based on an actual ATSF car of the same number.

The box car I have is a Pecos River Brass 50' box car painted in a maintenance scheme with its former billboard lettering ghosting through the silver...I posted a pic of it in the "Buy anything cool lately?" thread some time last year.

Very nice paint job on the G, this gets you off the hook as a blasphemous  ner-do-well  like those who paint the beloved G in Pink, yellow,and what ever other nasty color they dress it up in.

Late on parade due to dead hard drive lucky J&C studios has my train pic's on hand.

George, I wish I had a fraction of your talent in scenicing!

Good stuff everyone!

 

A shot from a few years ago:

 

Really nice photo.

 

I love the smoke!

A series of runbys

Wmtrainnut,

I love the WM!  Everything in this photo is great!  Reminds me of when I modeled the WM in N scale, then HO.

Here is some picture's of Christmas Wickford Train Station.

 

 

What, No Chessie 

No Bill not this time LOL.

I like how this picture almost looks like a reverse war bonnet. Flipping the colors would be a fun one to see.

GREAT WORK!!!! I am a frustrated painter....I have a buddy that does lots of automotive art.....Dan McCrary.......

I thought it was a reverse War Bonnet job?  It appeared, since it was a double ended electric, that he put the forward War Bonnet job at one end and instead of double ending it he just carried it down the back and finished off as if it were an F engine?

 

But I'm no expert so don't listen to me.   It is an awesome paint job though!  

Mark,

How close to T&J Hoppers is that?

 

Dave

 

Nice work. Is it an MTH Baggage car or a Weaver Baggage car?

(Couldn't find an image other than the round roof)
