Hmmmm, we bought a new camera today and I thought I'd play around with it and see how it worked. First up, a shot down Turtle Lane just as the steamer thunders through. It appears I need to play some more with the foreground focus. Next up, I thought I'd share some extreme closeups of...

I was relating the progression of Diesels to the progression of steam. With steam, the newer the engine, the bigger and more powerful it was (not always but usually). In this case, just by looks, the PB has three axles per truck instead of two, and is much larger than the F7B. Therefore...

Yes, the lighting in my picture does not help either as the picture was taken on a mild curve and the PB was facing towards the light and so seems brighter while the FA and FB were facing away. The diaphragms idea as well as closer coupling sounds intriguing. I already have 5 like painted...

Hmmm, they definitely look better together in your pictures than they do in mine... although I suppose the black and white helps. Thanks for the info. All I have to do now is convert the couplers on the PB to match the rest of the train!

So I was looking through my train chest and came across an old Con Cor Alco PB. I pulled it out and looked at it and thought it'd go great with my EMD F7B. I looked up the years and the PB's were manufactured starting 1946 while the F7's were manufactured starting 1949. (That seems backwards to...

Zelda, your picture got lost somewhere! Here's mine... Just dirt!

That's a heart breaker to see that double slip gone after all the time you put into it. That's one of the neat things about MRR'ing... something bugs ya' rip it out and do it again. I also like the abandoned track. It's a common site in the real world but yet not very many model it.

Good idea! Thanks.

Sound like fun! Make sure to take lots of pictures!

Welcome to the site. I see your from Toledo. We used to live near Sylvania and Jackman.

Wow, I've been within 10 miles of the first two. Wish I had a clue, I might'a taken the time to stop off and do a little picture takin'. 'Bout eight years ago, I was doing some inspection work at some marine reserve sites around the country. I passed through this area on the 30 in between a site...

Uhm, there are no more stupid questions... I asked them all already.:p

A trio of tunnels...

Ain't that the truth.

Hey I was trying to find an old picture of mine and came across this thread. Just thought I'd bump it up to see if anybody else had more neat bridge pics.
