I have spent most of this week in Dallas, since I have to pack up to leave first thing I am going to start Weekend Photo Fun early. 

Last Saturday I took these photos at the Rail Yard Hobby Shop in Roanoke. The Rail Yard changes their layout twice a year.

Great photos guys!  Here's some more photo fun for this weekend beginning with a shipment of cotton via the RF&P.  Next up is a tribute to the N&W J 611 in honor of her successful move to Stassburg RR on Wednesday,  next is the lumber camp on the Mountain Division,  a shot of switchers at the ready, a shot of Patsburg's Westend neighborhood, and the parting shot is of a Pullman diner.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone! IMG_4647IMG_4649IMG_4650IMG_4669IMG_4693IMG_4779IMG_4781IMG_4797IMG_4828IMG_4830IMG_4834IMG_4901IMG_4928IMG_4940IMG_5021

got around to completing and placing on my home layout my kit-bashed Budweiser grain silos and office building. The office building was an extra purchased from the NJ Hi-Railers and detailing the interiors was fun, the beer mugs were made from dowels painted yellow and tipped with white. The large beer bottle is resin cast and made by Harry Hieke with a Budweiser label obtained from the internet.

I'm FINALLY completing "the Gap". This is a section of scenery in the middle of about 175' linear feet of finished layout that is the last piece of scenery in this stretch of railroad to be completed. I love working with laminated pink foam which can be precisely shaped to recreate both native land and engineered land forms. Here are a few views of my progress...

Happy Friday!

Didn't get a ton done this week, as I was sick for a few days & the kids went back to school this week. 

I added a painted 145 gateman by the farm crossing for some action, put up the frame for the backdrop & added the framing around the edge of the layout.

Next up will be to give the board frame a coat of paint. Just have to decide what color. (gray like the wall or white like trim)

SD60E 6978 is on the point of 83Q as it passes through Eckman, WV on crisp Fall afternoon.

With a leader worth chasing, NS 201 rounds the S curve in Shawsville, VA on the Christiansburg District.

With dusk fast approaching, NS Dash-9 9917 hustles westbound 189 on the former N&W main line in Salem, VA

Morning sun illuminates NS Dash-9 9617 as it leads an eastbound intermodal past the 384.5 intermediate in Northfok, WV

It was business as usual back in October 2018 as NS Dash-9 9736 & ex Conrail SD60M 5504 hustle 25Z under the PRR signals in Cresson. Fast forward 6 months later - the PRR signals & former CR SD60 series would be only a memory.
