Patrick, is that the diesel you did the OST article on? I suspect so, and it looks real fine in this photo...great job.

What issue was the GP10 build in? All the pictures of that unit are pretty much all gone when ever I look for them, except for a couple of sparse shots, I'm at the battery box stage on mine and was looking for close up's on yours for the short hood doors.
Great diesel, great photo angle, great shot.
Very nice Pat!

Patrick that is a great shot. What did you use for the retaining wall supports? I am guessing spare rail?
What they said. Nice shot and nice to see things even while in progress.
It is a very nice shot! I love the rail/timber support wall. This detail is not very often modeled. The thing I would question is that steel girders do not need supports in the middle and would rest on bridge shoes on top of stone or concrete supports. Glad you posted the photo. nw2124

nw2124, There is a prototype for everything lol, the location on the layout is loosely modeled after this photo:
This is the only pic I have of the bridge and I had to do some guessing, but I just want the feel of it. I still have a lot to do to the scene. The rail is scrap code 125 and 100 with the holes drilled in it. I used my home made ties for the retaining wall and some strip wood for the other areas. The Trestle is made up from 5/16ths rd. stock.
yurbobuick6: I cant remember what # OST mag that the GP10 was in. I know its in the 50's. Send me an email and I can get you some photos if you like.
Thanks guys!

Is your layout going to be on the tour list for the NMRA convention?
Patrick, That looks great, can't wait to see more of the layout. Love the angle too. Malcolm
Nice Geep, nice photo, nice modeling
Patrick,
Where was the photo taken? I have a lot of pics of the GP10 taken in Pottstown Pa. and the GP15's on the old line that went from Pheonixville to Frazier delivering corn syrup to a facility that is now gone.

Patrick,
Whoever put down this road in this photo forgot to weather it just a bit. It looks like they just opened the package and unrolled the asphalt roadway.

Malcom, if you look closely at the clarity of the center seam and the very edge of the asphalt w/o any integrated debris you will see it indeed has just been rolled out.

That is still up in the air as of today.
This picture was taken on the Eaton Rapids turn near Onandaga, Michigan My layout is a branch off this line in Vermontville Mich.
