Deano, your CNW Dash-9 is an an exceptionally beautiful engine. I really like this paint scheme and your weathering is the cream of the crop :thumb:. I know of this problem with the pictures not showing the real beauty of the models all too well. I think it is all down to lighting. You remember...

Simon, you did a very nice job. Especially all the little details and scenes around your cold storage make it come alive. Show us more of your modeling :thumb:.

Hey Steve, good to see you working on a model again. :wave::thumb: But don’t you think that this cute little mine is begging for a small diorama???? :twisted:

Deano, I found some pics of UPY 1447 and 1475 on RR Pictures Archives. The photos of #1447 were taken last year at Fort Worth, TX. #1475 was photographed in 2006 and 2007 at Belvidere, IL and Rockford IL. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoList.aspx?mid=135&Page=4 Perhaps these places were the...

Josh, thank you for the info on the Baldwins. I already knew abot SMS, but that ELS is also still running Baldwin switchers was new to me. :eek::eek::eek::eek: DEANO, don’t do it, don’t throw the towel!! I am glad that Wayne talked you out of it. I love your railfanning posts and I really...

Deano, thank you for that Baldwin :thumb:. It is a pity that no one makes an affordable plastic model of it. Oh BTW, talking about plastic models. Did you see that Athearn is planning to do a Genesis UP Gas Turbine in 2009...

OK, I know I am a bit late to vote (I could not go online since the beginning of this week, because my computer crashed. After I restored the system, I found out that the DSL modem did not work anymore. The modem is provided by the phone company, so I had to wait until they checked it and sent...

Hey Deano, when will your book with all the stories of the RVS be released? I definitely want a copy! :thumb::thumb: The IRM will face rough competition once you have your museum running. The engines contributed by the EG&E alone are worth a visit!

Wayne, thank you for this very kind view on my laziness :mrgreen:sign1:mrgreen:

Modeling plans this weekend? Does painting the walls of my train room count? :confused: When it’s done, I can put my layout back on it’s shelf again. But it is summer, the weather is fine and sitting out in the garden relaxing and enjoying the sunshine is very distracting ... I guess, this does...

If Wayne had the same idea, it can’t be too bad :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:. Your dad’s layout looks great :thumb:, compared to the space I have available, 17'x8'x'15' is an empire :mrgreen:. Thank you for posting the overall shots. It is nice to see how all the scenes you posted pictures of...

Deano, it would be a crime not to run your beautiful patched engines. But do you really have to decide between 69–79 and 80–90’s when building your layout? Why can’t you have both? If you take care not to have very modern structures on your layout, only the vehicles and maybe some billboards...

Deano, great pics from your Dad’s layout :thumb:. BTW, how big is your Dad’s layout? Could you please tell us a bit more about it? After seeing so many pics of it, I am quite curious now. I saw some pre-production photos of the new Atlas HH660 some weeks ago and have been eagerly waiting since...

Gus, I love your Portales yard :thumb::thumb::thumb:. The scene is absolutely convincing. Really looks like the places in NM in the pictures I found when I was looking for ideas for my ATSF layout. I did not model NM in the end, because I did not have enough space to do it right, so I even more...

Deano, Wayne’s great idea of a railroad museum like the IRM was the first thought I too had when I read your post. Would be a good way to display all kinds of engines on your layout. Here is another idea. How a bout a leasing company like Watco ( Watco Companies ), which could have their...

I Love your trailer park (and the ghost town :thumb:). You have a good eye for all those details that make a scene come alive. Fantastic job.

Every time I see your Wollenberg, it blows my hat off, so to speak. Fantastic. I think I would have made the "W.B." smaller, but the large "W.B." looks perfect – good decision :thumb:.

These two are really nice looking engines. I especially like the Trainmaster. Deano, was your engine made by Atlas (the only Trainmaster I know :oops:)?

Hey Gus, I was on vacation for four weeks. We made a trip to the south of France, so I did not have a computer within reach. I hope that counts as an excuse...:mrgreen::mrgreen:

Wayne, all I can add is WOW :inw::inw::inw:.
