Good Sunday to all!! Here it is, another day to show our pride and joy. If ya have pics of models or the real thing, post 'em. It's all good.
I have been busy with my machine shop and Saulena's Tavern. Saulena's Tavern is a Bar Mills kit and I highly recommend it.The machine shop is being built from scratch.I'll try and post pics later.
There's bagels, coffee cake and english muffins on the table. Coffee,tea soda and water are on the counter. Enjoy!!

Uhhh, Sprink, I may be three french fries short of a happy meal in my noggin but...ain't it still Sunday?

Yes, it's still Saturday for the U.S. I believe there are several members on this forum that live in England. They're 5-6 hours ahead. It's Sunday for them.

I finally finished the handrails on my SD40T-2M. It still needs some white on the handrails but the hard part is done.

Seeing as there is an English flavour to proceedings, shouldn't that be three 'chips' short of a (cr)happy meal.

Here's Old Reliable:

Hopefully next week I'll have some new pictures, since I've finished decaling my geeps and the signal tower is also done.

My work this week was pretty mundane (but it HAD to be done sometime). ops:

I added some covers for the accesses on the fascia. They are held in place by Velcro. I got 4 of these:

Then I made a "shelf" for my accessory power supplies:

I also cleaned up some of the wiring after these shots.

You guys who are doing REAL modeling are doing some real nice stuff.

Great work by all who could post, thanks for sharing.

Jeremy, it's nice to see you using you imagination and modelers license to keep your favorite railroad alive. I have a couple of what if's in NYC so I can justify the doublestacks I have and other modern cars, although they did look good behind 3 GP-40's.

Thanks again for sharing people.

Railimages is a bit under the weather at the moment, so here's a link to something I seem to have been working on for ages.

It is about 75% finished, with some more detailling to the groundcover and junk required.

Jon, you never cease to amaze me!

Jon,

Great work on that tower! []

I haven't even started mine. But now I've got a lot of great example to look at.

 

[Jon Grant]

Thanks guys, but I've changed it already.


I wasn't too happy with the colour of the ground cover (yard filth texture paint), as it was too dark for the Belt Railway, so i stripped the details off and repainted the ground with concrete texture paint with light grey ballast. Once I darken it down with some brown washes, it will look more like wot I want.

I will post some more pics when I'm done.
