Greetings, To answer which engine it was, the typical movie train the 3 which is a Baldwin 4-6-0 and yes it is from railtown 1897 (Sierra Railroad) in Jamestown CA currently awaiting restoration. If you would like pics i could post some or i could rustle up some more info. See ya! Cory

What a cool idea, awesome shots guys!!!:thumb::thumb::thumb: Cory

Thank you all for your kind words. You all inspire me with your words of wisdom and fine examples of photography and modeling. I am pleased that I am able to contribute back to the forum because it has helped me a lot, especially on the getting guts aspect :D. Anyway, the house I cannot take...

Those engines have a face only a railroader could love sign1 Do you know if any were preserved and/or restored? Thanks for the pics! Cory

Wow, I had never seen a FM done up in UP paint. Neither in real life, train magazines, or model form. Kind of unbelieavable but nice to see, thanks for posting it and the family tie:thumb: Cory

Well, I think I am starting to get some guts. This is my second scenery project after the small loco display. This was meant to be a mobile picture module. Mostly for practice before I start building industrial scenes and that kind of thing. I think a cemetary is next though, gotta have one of...

I would take a stab and say its a clearance car to check tunnel height/clear tunnel debris but Im no expert. :D Cory

I like Cedar Creek :thumb:

I remember the first time I had seen a Viper, it was in an old computer game, the first need for speed by road and track. Lots of obsession with Vipers after that, dont know what changed. Nice to see someone my own age into trains too! Cool background, Cory

My handle goes back about 8 years now. Had someone hack into my yahoo mail account and an Ebay account and had to pick a new one. Was listening to the radio and Live And Let Die came on. Been using it ever since. Neat Thread! Cory

You can do a couple of things, however i am no expert so do your homework first. You can get a potentiometer (pot) which would be a current control/speed control (imagine a volume knob on a stereo). Or you could make a small circuit board with resistors to give one speed. Im sure others will...

Hey guys, here is my first venture into using woodland scenics, and actually doing something besides fixing up cars and locos =] a little photo diarama for my cars and locos, ho scale. Thought you might like to see, and to give inspiration that yes almost anyone can do this without hurting...

Cool Shot and even Cooler Wig Wag :thumb:

Took this picture on vacation last October. It is the Keddie Wye trestle in the Feather River Canyon. It is now a Union Pacific line but is pure Western Pacific heritage. The route to the left is the "high line", i think they also called it the inside gateway because this is where WP and Great...

Space of actual worked on railroad, an 8" by 18" diorama. Locos 12-15ish Cars 125+ Next step? Reducing fleet size and focusing on reality. After that? Starting to model one town in the "domino" style for portability. In the future? Hopefully the sooner than the latter future, Planned layout...

Matt, Where do you hail from? You certainly sound like a local =]. I am from Turlock and while I know nothing about the Sac shops I can certainly answer your questions about the Sierra. The Sierra Railroad (the one that does the dinner trains and is unaffiliated with Railtown) has a hold...

I heard a quote from, I think John Lennon, thats was something like "If you decide to waste the whole day and you enjoyed it then it wasn't really a waste". Some people like to do nothing and as the other gentleman said, to enjoy passing the time. Others might not have deiscovered the joys of...
