Lookin good Wolf!


A little more work on the AC-9 while working on the P-10.

Just a pic of a little project, done some months ago.

With all of the "Heavy" Rail Rolling stock being added to the GGX.   I figured they needed some "Light" Rail equipment. 
A Magneson HiRail resin kit did the trick.

Jason, that AC looks GOOD! Amazing to me how fast you work....must be the motorcycle influence
I'm still traveling so no modeling for me. I did see a great exhibit at the Deutsches Museum focusing on the history of mining and metallurgy, explained in models. This one is in HO. Nice backdrops, too.

I've been experimenting a little with Helicon Software (focus stacking).  It's a really nice tool for the deep western scenes of the Oregon Joint Line!  I see I need to "dust the river"....

Im gonna guess "Smurf tube" / flexible non metalic tubing... aka conduit, for conductors or more commonly now days, fiber optics.

Large spools of 4" utility (PVC usually)  ducting; unlikely they'd be putting iddy-bitty fibre through those, except in volume.

Looks great. Finally some more Erie on the forum.

Wolf nice scene with the roundhouse. Just an idea... the road that is in the front of the scene that has a 90 degree angle. Maybe make a nice radius instead of the sharp bend, that way the road flows and does not match the 90 degree bench work. I am not criticizing the work. when i built my layout i made every thing  straight and square where as my friend has sweeping curves and everything flows on his layout and i wish i would have done that also. seriously nice job!

This scene is Awesome!

Recently picked up Arnold SW1. Very smooth running locomotive (wheel gauge too tight, couplers really don't work) I added blanket to radiator.

I had problems with the couplers on their U-25C's. I replaced them with MTL Zscale #905. Work great.

Any time I get new cars anymore, the first thing I do is to see if I can find pictures of the prototype. I lucked out on one recently with a PWRS AG Processing 4750 hopper I picked up.  I use the "close enough " rule as I'm still learning streaking etc

Here's the proto

Here's another car I recently did, a Micro Trains ACF 3 bay covered hopper

Again, the proto

If that is not a photo of a full size railroad I'll eat my hat. Wait, I don't wear a hat (but that is still an incredible scene and photograph).

Coldriver:  I thought I commented last night, but can't find it anywhere.  Maybe a troll ate it...

Great job on the basalt cliffs.  That looks very much like the canyons of home, and I don't remember ever seeing slide fences modeled.
