Being cooped up this week in the house with all the snow we had at the beginning of the week I was able to put in a few late nights to work on CN 8918.



Just for kicks her it is with my only other CN locomotive, CN 5544 (ignore the giant mess in the back ground  ) :

Nothing of actual modeling, but I did finally put all my thoughts together on the switching layout I've been planning for a while now.

Looks really good DKS, how about a shot with a RS-3 and a few 40 footers for scale or something like that?

Finished up one of two RS2's for the Reid Brothers. Hopefully they'll both be pulling freight at the next operating session of the Cumberland Valley System. (Bill Reid made me promise to put away my orange paint when he commissioned these )

Why don't you "bandit-ize" a Milwaukee unit into a WM ala how the Soo Line defaced all those units?

The most artful rendition of Unitrack and Bachmann couplers ever put forth.

Working on the landscape at Cisco.

[BCR 570]

That is looking good, Scott.  Might be the way I go about tackling the scenery for my Pine River crossing.

This week I got the end rivet decals applied to tool wash car BCOL 6506:







Also further progress on panel track car BCOL 6510, including end and side sills, holes for trucks and couplers, and bottom plates for centre sill:




Next up are rivet decals for BCOL 6508, and adding the deck and bulkheads for BCOL 6510.

That Wild Mary RS2 looks great  Two questions, 1) What kind of paint do you use on the hand rails? manufacturer? 2) What ever happened to the Cumberland Valley Web Site?

I use Tru-Color paint but it's really the prep work that helps the paint stick. I first used baking soda in an old airbrush to prep the surface then used adhesive promoter that I bought at Autozone before painting.

I have some old pages about the CVS here http://home.comcast.net/~skytop35/CVS/index.html
