[Ralph]

KP&W box cars are starting to show up on the car float at West Mill. That's the
"Robert H.", otherwise known as "The Rust Bucket" shoving the float into the apron.

Nazgul: Nice angle on that first shot, looks good.:thumb: Excellent scenery too:thumb:

Ralph: Your KP&W fleet is really starting to expand, nice shot of the Docks and Tug:thumb:

The first shot is a Conrail SD40-2 I found just setting under the over pass, I figured it was waiting on a crew. I went to get some lunch and took to long I guess because in the second pic all I was able to get was a going away shot of the caboose.

 

[UP SD40-2]

Steve, WOW!!! "SLAP FANTASTIC" shots of your steamer!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Ralph, GREAT SHOT OF THE CAR FLOAT:thumb: i really like seeing pics of your water scenes. those KP&W box cars came out GREAT too!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Mark, NICE SHOTS!:thumb: you just cant go wrong with an SD40-2. the second shot is my favorite of the two

Must just be my luck but it seems like I've been a day late and a dollar short... In the first set of pics I posted a going away shot of a CR caboose, well it happend again..I caught Westbound 97 climbing up out of Scottsburg, so I thought I could beat him over to PT Jct.. NOT! I got there to just as he was goin into the Tunnel and all I got was a going away shot of the caboose.. Again!ops:

I don’t have any special shots this weekend. I was too busy to set something up.

I did make some trees as shown:

Also here are some overall shots of the RK&M. This are in disarray as you can see. That happens when parts are under construction as the Drexel Ridge is. These are not the greatest since one of my overhead lights is on the fritz.

The Water Tower Diorama is in the background here:

The Cement Distributor in the foreground with the Passenger Station Diorama behind it.

Looking back at the Passenger Station Diorama and the Cement Distributor:

The Farm House Diorama with Drexel Ridge to the left:

Here is the other side of the Drexel Ridge where the town will be:

Next looking down the town, Farm House, and Water Tower:

Another reason why so much is on the layout: The Work Bench!

 

[UP SD40-2]

Jon, WOW!!! FANTASTIC SHOTS!:thumb: your layout really looks AWESOME!:thumb: would love to see more of it.

Josh, THANK YOU!, for the complement on the UP gon.

Mark, NICE SHOTS!!:thumb: :thumb: i like your stories behind them too!:thumb:

Tom, THANKS!, for the complement. and THANK YOU!, for the progress tour of your layout!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and last pic made me feel right at home. looks like you have a lot to do, but what you have done so far REALLY LOOKS GREAT!:thumb: i am looking forward to seeing where you put those NEW trees. GREAT JOB TOM!

**heres a couple more pics i am adding into the mix:thumb:. "A couple of UP's tunnel motors head east with a string of containers." i have three tunnel motor engines, two of them i have posted a few times(the UP SD45-T2, and the UP patched SP SD45-T2), but this time i thought i would put my UP patched SP SD40-T2 in for the shot:thumb:. i don't post that engine much, don't know why, its a GREAT engine.

GREAT PICS!!!:thumb: KEEP 'EM COMING! -Deano

My little grain elevator complex.

 

[eightyeightfan1]

Nice shots guys.
Hey Tom...I don't remember you taking a pic of my workbench.

 

[TomPM]

Deano
Some more cool looking locos! I really like the patch job!

Kurt
Cool picture! I can never see enough street running!

Katy
Great looking grain elevator complex!

 

[TomPM]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Hey Tom...I don't remember you taking a pic of my workbench.

The worst part about it is I am expecting two more boxcar kits, one ACF covered hopper ( another pink Ralston-Jefferson), two Athearn TOFC kits, 2 more Walthers heavyweight passenger cars and a P2K sound B&O E8A/B. I am not sure if the pile can take it. Oh, I forgot there were two Athearn six-packs (LNE 2-bay hoppers, and MDT steel reefers) missing from the pile.

Tom, THANK YOU!, for the progress tour of your layout!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and last pic made me feel right at home. looks like you have a lot to do, but what you have done so far REALLY LOOKS GREAT!

When I started the layout rebuild I decided to make complete scenes or almost complete scenes. That way I would get a feeling I accomplished something and also have a place for photos. Some day the Great Pink Desert will be filled in.

i am looking forward to seeing where you put those NEW trees

They are going on top of Drexel Ridge near the Grain Elevator. Some may go on the hillside by the Hunting cabin.

Kurt, very nice! Love the street track.

Tom

 

[UP SD40-2]

Jack, i REALLY like your Cargill grain elevator!:thumb:, all the extras you added to it really made it AWESOME!

Tom, THANK YOU!, for filling me(us) in on your layout plans:thumb:. VERY NICE, THANK YOU!

GREAT PICS SO FAR FOLKS!:thumb: ......GOT MORE? -Deano
