Well, here is my first new Kato SD40-2 mid production undec that I custom painted in the CP dual flag scheme. Hope to finish the detailing this weekend.

New pictures Here are some pictures of some of the progress I've made in the last weeks. Also must add, got 2 of the new Kato Sd40-2 Mid productions (undec) that I have started to paint, wow, REAL nice!

layout I have been very surprised how much you can get into a bookshelf layout, mine is 20" wide and roughly 10' wide by 14' long, I think your layout looks great! You'll have loads of action, especially with a second level.

looks great That looks great, is it a kit or did you scratchbuild it?

One more One more picture. Still working on this area of the layout. The track coming towards the viewer will attach to a modular industrial area. Still have to finish the parking area for the moving company and old Amtrak station, as well as old passenger platform. I'm doing a snow setting as...

New progress Here are some pictures of new progress: These are photos of a GP38 I custom painted into CP scheme, and of an area on my layout on the opposite end of the bookshelf from the yard, this will be Pottstown, PA. There is an out-of-use old track circling behind the brick building, a...

Thanks everyone! As for the crane, FEC has a bunch of them down here and wow do those things get dirty! Hardly a spot of yellow on em'

Thanks everyone! As for more photos, they ended up in another post I did "progress photos" somehow. As for my layout, this is an around the room shelf layout with 3 sides of track laying complete. My layout is meant to represent Canadian Pacific operations on the D&H from Philadelphia to...

progress and "no" the blue wharehouse building is not done yet, I got a bit impatient and stuck it in there before finishing the roof, and weathering it.:oops:

heres more trys: the layout goes on a single track behind the bookshelf next to the yard in the photo, it comes out the other side, which has track laid but nothing else so far. The bridge in photo 4 is my bridge over the Schulykill river in Phenixville. Putting a tunnel in on the south side...

progress that funky looking area next to the railgon gondolas in photo 3 is where I'll be putting the Franklin bridge overpass when its done- I'm building from styrene now. Also, I guess with these pix, less closeups?

a photo from my shelf layout in progress, I'm still learning this photo stuff!

that is awesome. how long did that take to do?

One more, this is an industry with its own siding on the way into the highline from Phenixville, I've called it Badger Chassis, maker of Ford truck chassis, although its actually in Milwaukee, not Philadelphia!:D This will be expanded with an additional building and weathering, there is a...

I'm not so good with the camera, here's some more trys:

I'll give this a go, this is my first layout,:oops: hope this upload works: The layout is of my creation of the Philadelphia highline, with Franklin field behind the tracks, and of the Ameriport intermodal yard at the port of Philadelphia. as the tracks curve from the yard towards the mainline...

sounds good, I guess it butts up so tight there is no need for rail joiners? Also, for any modern southeast Pennsylvania modelers, I found this map of Reading! http://forums.auran.com/TRS2004/forum/showthread.php?threadid=82536&highlight=real%20locations hope that link works!

is it possible to use a hinged section on a curve?

Thanks for the welcome! I'll tell you a bit more of my layout: power is the following: many CP SD40-2, SOO SD60, CP AC4400 (not many though, CP does not run many AC units in New York and Pennsylvania), RBMN SD50, SOO GP35, CP GP38 (I custom painted it, decals are still going on), NS SD60, WC...

Hello to all, I'm a newbee, I'm modeling N scale present day Philadelphia to Reading line in an around the room shelf layout. my focus is CP Rail, with a smattering of NS, CSX, and Reading and Blue Mountain Northern. As a shelf layout it is 12" wide at its widest point and 11' x12' layout...
