USA O scale in The Netherlands

these are buildings on the back of my layout with now what better pictures I detail it more and more with the kits I have or build it myself.

Ed3945, very nice, as usual.  Nice to see more of your scenic elements.  Seems like the hooligans(straatschender) have been hard on your windows. 😉

ed3945, marvelous work!

Thanks,... these are pictures make by a iPhone I don't have a very good camera so for the Norfolk and Western fans I hope you like it.

Everything I did was taken by the IPhone not with a other camera so I try my best to do it realistic as possible with that phone. I see more and more other pictures on my layout with the beautiful weather outside so the photos are changing every time hope you all enjoy the pictures I did.

I really like that display case!  Did you make it or is it a commercial product. You have a heck of a collection of UP locos.

Thanks, that display case is special made for me because the UP engines are so big there is nothing you can buy in O scale in the netherlands or elsewhere in Europe about display’s. I collected those UP locos and have also the veranda turbine, painted myself and two new motors in it also had help to do that it was a time consuming job but it has the same finish as the turbines I bought.

One of my favorites only unfortunately it does not run well at the moment, it was that is. Union Pacific Overland Model. I believe I took one picture in my forum so now you see more of this beautiful model.

A little too modern for me, but you seem to bridge the loco generation gap on your layout and it looks good. It makes for a superb model with all the windows and detail.

I do 1940 to 1970 that Overland model is the only modern diesel I have but a very nice one I like those trucks very good detailed.

The sun came up in the morning so I took some pictures. I'm planning to make a whole new photo set for much better pictures now the sun is rising on my layout so the light will be better every time.

That sunshine look just keeps getting better and better!

That really is very effective. I’ve always felt that O Scale has a “presence” that the smaller scales just don’t have.

Yes it is, with o scale you can do more but ho is also very very nice. I do O scale you can detail mutch more and the scale also helps and for me a lot of fun.

I can't help myself to do it one more time take this shots on every screen I saw it is different.

one more time, The water tower will changed in the future for a other more standard. The pictures I toke almost the same but they are different.

I’m going to build on my yard in may and June so there will pictures than and build what I have. I do have mutch more time now things will happen mutch earlier and have a lot of ideas to make my layout more better. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

I can say yes it is, this is for me the one I'm total in love of this model so a few more in black and white and one in color.

Yep, the OMI 8500 HP Turbine was a masterpiece and one of Tom's best offerings. Had several and sold mine 3 years ago and wish I had it back. Lee Turner weathering.

Many many thanks I want to do my turbine but this is awesome very good weathering from Lee Turner. I have one weathering from him and yes one of the best.

Do you have pictures of the turbine itself in the B-unit I'm looking for that to super the engine but can't almost find nothing. I hope maybe someone can help me in this or they have pictures of that gasturbine, from General Electric I think.

I never took any close-ups of the turbine. Lee did add a light for me so under power it could be viewed better. Lee is a master. 

Here are some photos of my KOH's Challenger Lee did for me on his great diorama. Let it got to the same collector and have been trying to reach him for months to see if he wants to sell anything back.

Lee is indeed a master of weathering I saw a lot on internet and the one I have super that is, I have that model (gondola) also from Kohs. I’m looking for drawings or pictures of that turbine in the B-unit so I can super mine.

I saw that gon in one of your pictures and wondered who did it. Lee is a level above all the rest in my book. Sadly he is doing it no longer due to vision problems. Our loss.

This was a unpainted Overland Veranda model bought it many years ago so now it is painted with new motors in it but it is not running on my layout only on display also done years ago.

I thought I was ate up with the UP, but I don't hold a candle to you Ed.  NICE collection my friend.

Thanks yes I have a lot but collected in more than 25 years that I do O scale, I'm weathering the SD60 from overland now was for me a long time so pictures will be soon on this forum.

Still busy on the Overland SD60 Union Pacific but maybe nice to do some pictures. The weathering will go further to an example of a real diesel. I took a diesel SD60 that I liked and do so as possible the weathering on that picture. What you see is almost the same on that what I have. When it is done the mat varnish for more mat appearance where needed. The yellow is not finished yet on the nose. The plow must also more weathering in the fine detail. I hope it is something. Better pictures will be done as it is finished on my layout also separately. 

The weathering step by step the SD60, you see more about the nose it is not yet finished the plow will done more until I'm satisfied it is fun to do this and later on I use the airbrush little more if needed.

Fantastic !

Ed3985,

Had forgotten him but he’s safe now

Ed3945,

Whew, that good to hear otherwise you would had to call the local police and an ambulance. 

Does your town have a hospital?   If not, then he really would have been in bad shape.
