Here are a few I took of the Georgetown Loop in Colorado. I wish I had taken more from the station, but my son and I were too excited about riding the train! Pity that the company that was running it for the CHS isn't anymore. Some kind of contract disagreement apparently. I hope they...

I used to be on every evening, but real life took notice and changed things. Working morning watch with my wife working 10-2 means that when I get home, I have to watch the baby. The baby alone takes a lot out of me, but now I sleep in the afternoon/evening, so I can't chat! :cry: :cry...

Here are some I took near the NS Training Center in McDonough, GA. This one is around the back of the center on a rarely used road going into the back of an industrial park. Notice the warning sign for the remote control locos they use there. I wish it was better quality, but all I have is...

I spotted these two at the Norfolk Southern Training Center in McDonough, GA a couple of months ago. Wish I had my 35mm camera with me then.... Michael

I wonder if the engines were wearing cement brake shoes? :rolleyes: :D Michael

Man, they will dump anything in the ocean off of New Jersey! :) Michael

I personally would not worry. Have you seen how the prototype looks? Wiggles, bumps, ridges, sways, and so forth. I'd say you captured the real thing quite well. Heck, maybe even better! :thumb: Michael

My railroad is based in the current era, but since it is a short line it runs whatever it can get a hold of! :rolleyes: ;) This lets me run F units with GP35s and the occasional steam excursion. In the real world it lets me run whatever catches my fancy. Michael

Lots of rain there. Must be the storm of the Century! ;)

Small town? Then why is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the background? ;) :D Michael

Just so y'all don't think I've been sitting around doing nothing (ok, I may have been slacking a little...) I wanted to let you know that I have been trying to decide if I want to add the black stripe to the top of the FEEP, what color to make the lettering (black or white), and working on a...

What do I think? I sometimes feel like that true style ended around 1957.... :D I can't wait. If I only had the money for it.... (the new computer ate all of my "play" money and then some!) I love the Streamline and Deco looks. Things today are functional, but kinda ugly to my eyes...

Just be careful. My soon to die notebook has a power pack that puts out 19.5 Volts!!!! :( Michael

I finally got some painting done on the Feep. So far it is only the teal. I'm not sure if I should bother with the black stripe up top or not. What do y'all think? :confused: At least with it painted the nose does not appear to "lean" anymore! ;) Michael

That is an easy one: Kegs! ;) ;) ;) :D Michael

A BNSF coal train comes through Stockbridge 3 times a week on the NS main. Southbound it is full, then the return later it is empty. All of the cars on it have Georgia Power markings on them, so the power plant idea is probably right. Usually a pair of engines up front and one in the rear...

Well, it looks like this old computer of mine is trying to die on me now. If it does before I can afford a new Motherboard and CPU for my wife's computer, then I will be taking a "vacation" from here for a while. It already tried to go belly up on me today, but I got lucky. I'm pretty sure...

I wish I had a shed like that. The shed that came with my house is a shed, in the loosest sense of the word. I mean, it has four walls (if you don't count the holes in it) and a roof (that leaks). If you don't look too hard, you won't notice that the floor is nowhere near even (it definately...

Of course, the Feep is waiting until payday Friday so I can get some primer.... :( :( :( However, I found this boxcar in my box already painted but needing lettering. I had some white dry erase letters that I think worked quite nicely. Now if I had any dims to fill in the empty spots...

I was looking at the Feep last night and noticed that the cab leans slightly to the left (see the picture) and I was wondering if I should try to take the cab off and fix it, or just say "feh" and keep on as is. Am I being just too much of a perfectionist? I guess it could be explained that...
