Great pictures every one! Keep 'em coming!

First up is the Modern yard office from BLMA..I haven't decided on the color yet but,I am leaning toward CSX Tan.

Next up is a Athearn RTR N&W boxcar I got on "Saturday Special" today for $9.99 from a hobby shop.I still need to add KD 148s.

Next up is one of my three Walthers GP15s..I use this unit a lot at the club..
Sorry about the missing horns..I didn't notice the horns was missing untill I reviewed the photo.They will be replace.

I always check the Photo-fun weekly, the quality of the pictures is very good.
Nice work everyone.

I tried various arrangements for the structures on my micro layout , that was an easy job, no cutting, gluing, painting or soldering. My wife gave me some suggestions.
I also cut and painted some masonite for the backdrop

Deano: Yes I believe Walthers did make a UP GP15..as far as I know they are out of production now..best bet would probably be ebay....

THANK YOU MARK!:mrgreen:
THANKS for the info on the GP15 too!:thumb: i had seen them in the past, but thought they were Athearnsops: , at that time i was modeling UP from 89-2006 so i wasn't interested in getting them , but now, since i am modeling 1969-79, i had started looking for them, but no luck finding one:frowns: . Ebay just is NOT a choice i have:cry: (don't ask:curse: ), so it looks like I'll just keep looking at the shows:winki: .

THANKS AGAIN MARK!:thumb::mrgreen:

Deano,I will echo what Mark said..The only problem with the Chessie unit the walkways should be blue and not yellow.While this engine is in the "shop" for cleaning and servicing I will paint the walk ways either Enchantment Blue or Royal Blue.Chessie use both blues regardless of the road name on the cab.
I like mine as a switcher since it has a slow speed and pulls quite well.I can work a 25 car cut with ease...These are stock weight cars and not RP20.1 weighted.
