I don't remember exactly when I started. My best guess would be about 18 months ago. I took a break from car construction this past summer to work on some other things, so I still have around 10 more to go before I have finished what I originally planned. Of those at least 5 will be additional...

Thanks for the compliments, guys. As I said before in another thread, I had fun trying to find new angles and settings to photograph the train and individual cars. It was an interesting "challenge." :)

I don't mind at all, jon. I'm 9' 2-3/4" tall. And no, I didn't play basketball. The ball was too small for my hands and no fun to play with. :rolleyes: ;)

I was doing some model railfanning along Millers Creek (as well as some fishing in the creek below) when the Osage Valley's old work train rumbled by. I barely got back up the creek bank and to the right of way in time to snap this shot. :rolleyes: :D

Hi, Drew, I bought MDC's 2-trucker back in 84 shortly after they first released the kit. I waited several years to put it together, and I'm glad I did because most of the replacement items came out in the interim. I really like how mine turned out once I did assemble it. It looks good, and...

Yep, another outstanding photo, Charlie. I always love those tunnel shots.:cool:

Paul, rest and get well again. We all look forward to your return.

Wow! An empty room with finished, blank walls! A tabla rasa! I don't think you could have it any better, Steve! Add some lighting, draw some plans... ;) :cool:

Screwysquirrel, you did a nice job with the mortar and weathering of your brickwork. And congratulations on finishing your first structure. The first one is almost always the hardest one. Enjoy it, but learn from it also. :)

Paul, I have to agree with Pete. O scale certainly does seem to agree with you. Your scenery is shaping up very nicely, and the structures are up to your usual high standards. Very nice indeed!

Thanks very much for the compliments and words of encouragement, guys. They are in themselves a source of inspiration.

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

OVT&L's little "water bobber" was dropped off at the tank for refilling. It and the sand car will be picked up later in this morning and hauled back to the woods.

Thank you, Steve. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. :)

You're making good progress on your layout, Kent. Nice job with the scenery.

Superb modeling and superb photography, Eddie! I always enjoy seeing your layout photos!:cool: :cool:

Thanks, Drew and Eddie. Your compliments form their own source of inspiration for me. :)

Another goodie, Charlie! :) What a terrific photo!!!

Thank you for the very nice words, everyone. I know some of you have seen the cars before, but I had a lot of fun putting them in "new" settings and rephotographing them earlier this week. I've got a few more I'll post in the near future. :)

That's a beautiful scene, Charlie! I love photos of lokies heading out of tight or "blind" curves. hmmm.... you're giving me an idea.... :D
