Last month I converted several of my photos of the Central Missouri & Southern and the Osage Valley to duotone black & white. Here are a couple of them. A Porter pulling a short train of disconnects and logs across Millers Creek.

Things are kind of slow right now at Weiry & Sons Well Drilling. But it's still early in the day...

It's break time at the vinegar plant.

The old water tank is still serviceable enough to supply water to the machine shop's boiler.

I'm a detail junkie. I frequently put details where virtually no one will ever see them. But just in case somebody with a really long neck happens to peer over a building or around a corner... :D Here is an "around-the-corner" scene (ala George Sellios :cool: )

Back in early June, I began a "scratchbash" project using DPM's ubiquitous HO scale Freight House kit. The object of the project was to see if I could take an ordinary kit, one which isn't normally considered to be "finescale," and turn it into something that approached "finescale" when...

For whatever this info is worth... Last week I received an "official notice" from Earthlink that my account information was no longer current and that I needed to click on the link to update my account. The notice was sent as an html document with Earthlink's corporate logo and content...

The OVT&L's "shorty" tool car awaits pickup outside the machine shop.

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

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.

OVT&L's old oil tanker sits on the siding next to the machine shop on a hot July day.

For those who remember a thread I started last winter (:eek: !) about adding a handcarved stone wall to a diorama base, I have finally finished the diorama. It's a combination of Sierra West's "Foss' Landing" kit, some scratchbuilt structures, and details from several different sources. Here are...

Another attempt to recreate the appearance of old fashioned selenium and sepia toned prints.

A string of loaded disconnects headed by an On30 0-4-2 Porter is crossing Millers Creek. (The photographer slipped on the hillside and missed getting the little lokie in the shot... :eek: :rolleyes: :D )

I travel every week. And I like to take lots of reading material with me. For the last several years, I've used the tote bag I got at the 98 NMRA National Convention to carry my magazines, catalogs, sales flyers, and whatnot. Recently, though, I noticed it was looking a little tattered...

Trainclown sent me a PM asking about how I weather my stripwood. For some reason, I am unable to post my reply to him as a "Message," so I'll try to post it here. Hi, Chris, I apologize for not having answered you before now. The truth is I just discovered this PM from you a few minutes...

Hi, everyone. I don't normally refer to topics or photos posted on other forums, but I want to make an exception this time. Jim Faulks (aka "ANo10") has posted a couple of photos of an outstanding sawmill diorama he is finishing up. He started with Woodland Scenics' white metal sawmill...

Here are some photos of a pair of On30 disconnected trucks that I put together from a Rusty Stumps kit. They were fairly easy to assemble, although some filing and test fitting of the parts was necessary. Actually, the assembly went faster than the painting and weathering. The "logs" were cut...

Here's ol' Maggie clearing Tunnel #2 along Millers Creek and beginning the downgrade drift back to Willow Grove and the roundhouse.

Here are some "update" photos of my "Stonewallin'" project and the "Ugly Little Garage" project that I posted about this past winter and spring. The diorama is a mix of kit built, kit-bashed, and scratch built structures, but it's based on Sierra West's "Foss' Landing." It's just one part of...
