Here are my two latest locos: B&O P1K F3A and F3B

They are due for some weathering.

 

[viperman]

Tom, thank you for the compliment, did you see my entry last week? Your F3's look great BTW

 

[TomPM]

did you see my entry last week?

Yes, I saw it and the BN unit looked great.

On and off for the last two or three weeks a BNSF unit in that paint scheme has been showing up in Norfolk Southern's Abrhams Yard in King of Prussia, PA. As these things I never have my camera with me when I see it.wall1

**SHEEW!...OK, i had a GREAT DAY TODAY! dad and i went to the last show of the season, in Rockford today!:thumb: dad bought a GREAT CNW GP30 with QSI:thumb:, and some crossbucks. i bought 5 NEW cars, and a UP GP20!!!:thumb: the GREAT thing about the GP20(really a hopped up GP18) is UP used them for local freights, and switchers right up to 1984!:thumb:

After we got back from the show, dad wanted to head down to the old CNW tracks(now a bike path) and get some shots of the old CNW office/storage house. after that, we went over to the old Milwaukee road tracks(now owned by IC&E, UP has trackage rights on it:thumb, and checked out where the old station sat:thumb:, we had a GREAT TIME! after that, we went back to dads and checked out the stuff we bought at the show today, and i programed dads NEW CNW GP30.

PICS BELOW ARE:
1- the five cars i bought today, and the NEW UP GP20.
2- the GP20 right out of the box, i cant wait to add some detail parts to it, and weather it.
3- just SOME of the CNW engines at dads:thumb:, the ONLY 2 that are mine in this pic are the FM H24-66, and the Alco RS32. dads NEW CNW GP30 is there in the middle-back:thumb:.
4- still standing, the old CNW office and storage building:thumb:.
5- looking down what was the Milwaukee Roads mainline, looks like IC&E is going to put new ties in:thumb:. i seen a thread some where that asked why Atlas track had black ties, those ties sure look black to me.

Shoulda told me Deano! I would have gone! I was going to go to a show in LaGrange, but decided it was too far a drive for me

 

[trainnut65]

Well let me see if i have anything i can add to this. not real sure i should put my stuff up here with all this, You guys have some great looking layouts going. Ok i think i have found something not the best in the world but it is all i got.

 

[viperman]

Trainnut, visit my page, you'll see where I'm. I like what you have there

 

[trainnut65]

Thanks Viperman. Your layout is going to be a nice one I wish i had more room to get some more track on mine.I would love to add some more freight yards to what i have but there is no more room to add on.

 

[viperman]

Thanks trainnut, but it will take a long time for me to get to the point you're at.

 

[jbaakko]

Man, its a good week! Nice pics everyone!

 

[TruckLover]

WOW Deano, look at all those CNW's, ME LIKES

BTW, Dads layout is FANTASTIC!!! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

 

[Herc Driver]

Kurt - Those street scenes are on a whole 'nother level...wow do they look good. I wish my streets looked that great! :thumb:

Tom - Great looking B&O units...they really look good.

TrainNut - Really nice Southern switcher and layout picture!!!

Miles - Stop running outside and taking pictures of real boxcars!!! OK all kidding aside, that's an amazingly real weathering job. Start giving lessons.

Deano - You're killing me man...just killing me with all those train shows so close. We get one here in my area a year - if we're lucky. Nice additions to the collection. Geep's Rock! Now go weather and detail that Geep and post pictures. That's an order!:thumb:

It still needs dirt and soot

 

[TruckLover]

I agree Steve, this is a great idea to have these threads because every pic that is posted is great and it gives us a chance to show our stuff off that we have worked so hard on :thumb:

BTW, Steve, that is an AMAZING looking portal, look at the black rivet holes to!!! OUTSTOUNDING job man :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
