work train a few more photos

cnnutbar has inspired me to get some steam fired up. The saddletank 0-4-0 has been assigned a work train detail this afternoon, while a once proud Consolidation has been assigned the less than glamorous drag assignment.

Ray, that motive power sure is sharp. Steeple cabs, critters, puddle jumpers, great variety and modeling. Look forward to seeing more. Stuart.

Don, I really like how you have created a bustling downtown district. It really conveys a sense of vitality. Excellent job. Stuart.

Great job, Drew! You are really doing a great job capturing the back woods ambience of your logging operation. I can almost smell the sawdust from here. Can't wait to see more. Stuart.

Tom, those are some fine buildings you have there. The weathering looks great, not to mention all the spurs you have added to enhance operation. I am looking forward to see how the rest comes along as you always seem to feature my favorite roads in all of their gritty glory. Very nice. Stuart.

zedob...That is seriously some of the best water I have seen modeled, thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations of your progress on the forum. Great job. Stuart.

Holy Moly! I am wondering what the timetable special instructions say about setting those retaining valves! Hell, I'd even balance the train at the summit and do a break test before taking on that hill. Great photo, Lester. Stuart

That Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo gondola really caught my eye, subtle weathering with a "used but not abused" look to it. Great job. Stuart.

Experimenting with shadow effects. I read a great article an issue or two ago in Railroad Model Craftsman on photography. Thought I would give it a whirl.

The Ostend St. Ornamental Iron Works and the grain elevator are due to be switched this afternoon.

Wayne, I really like the angle that you are using in those pictures. It really shows off the underbody details on your nice rolling stock, not to mention that is pretty much how it looks sitting in a car at a road crossing-looking under the cars as opposed to over them. Great job. Stuart.

Fine job, Tom. Once again, mile post 46 proves itself to be a great railfanning spot. I always seem to see elements from my favorite roads there. I particulary appreciate the very convincing rust effects Tom seems to have nailed down. Stuart.

Those locomotives are simply awesome.

Nice job, Freelancer. I like the attention to detail the buildings are recieving. Keep up the good work.

The weeds are bristles from a cheap artists paint brush. The bristles are natural colored, kind of stiff to begin with, I use watercolors to stain the bristles to the desired color. The bristles are kind of thick for an artist paint brush {it was a cheapie], and I had used it quite a bit before...

Acouple more shots from the lumber company

Here is a recent update on my B&O switching layout. Folks familiar with this area will notice the city pier on the backdrop. It is the modern day home of the Moran tugboat fleet in Fells point, MD. It is a computer print out from a photo I have taken from across the harbor at the Dominos sugar...

Super job! Cant wait to see how the water turns out as I am about to add some water to my harbor scene. Very nice craftsmanship zedob. Stuart.

I think its the perfect area to practice laying ballast. While simple sounding enough, it can be a real challenge to those who have not tried it before, and potentially could spoil your attempt on other parts of the layout. Ballast should not be an issue with "getting in the way", and you could...
