CLARKSON!

[GaryHinshaw]

Finally... I'm ready for the N scale railfanning trip to western Canada!!

Lee

Seriously?  If so be sure to let us know - you will have some Railwire comrades to meet while you are here.

+10.  Proud to be a Canuck this week, but my pick of the week goes to Bill's shot.  My god.  All I can offer is a shot of my freeway interchange in the making:

Gary!  Don't look!!!

Too late:



(Old pic - it's almost complete now.)  The awesome thing is that my plan includes all three extant signal bridges over the Pass, and Bob offers all three as kits (or at least he will as soon as the late style one in his post gets done in N, right Bob?).  The cantilever at Sandcut is on my workbench awaiting assembly.

I lowered exactly two N Scale freight cars this weekend - one Roundhouse/MDC 50 foot boxcar, and one very old Trix gondola for the MOW fleet.  I used appropriate Atlas trucks with factory installed Accumates and then went for FVM wheels.  LAziness compelled me not to take photos, but perhaps I'll do a batch later this week.

Worked on my original 4'x8'.

[John]

that is great...

we haven't had enough Stripes references around here lately

And that's a fact Jack!!!!   Boom Shakalaka Boom

FOUL.  1990's Pepsi truck in an otherwise tastefully done scene.  Go directly to  boot camp.  Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

[rickb773]

I can't help it, I'm a Pepsi-holic and that is what I had.
(It's a good thing you didn't see the roofwalk-less Diet Pepsi box car that had been parked at the siding.)
I guess love conquers proper era!

If it really bugs you, feel free to send it to my 1997 era layout so my Taco Bell can finally have some sodas....   

Those Pepsi trailers are hard to find now.

I haven't posted to SNFF for a long time but had a recent burst  of progress.  Amazing work everyone.  The quality of the modeling on RW continues to impress and Bill Denton blows me away while bringing back 60's memories.

Bill, do you remember riding the Milwaukee Road West commuter line out of Chicago and seeing the Pioneer Bank sign as you curved across North Avenue?  My homage.



Finally put a Digitrax DZ-123 decoder in my Atlas track cleaning car following directions posted by Ron Bearden.  Needed a road number so that I could remember the decoder address and I pulled a little extra out of the decal box



Finished this Lunde Studios kit--the gray building in the middle.  Nice kit though the window inserts needed to be cut apart and adjusted to align with the holes.  No big deal.



Finally, for RW Asshats only, my completed Downtown Deco Limited Edition kit.  It's got to be located in Spfld, IL since they are receiving a truckload of the local brew.  For those who come to our Spfld show we'll arrange a trip to visit this fine establishment

Do you have more pictures of your layout somewhere on the internet?
Boobiehatch, nice!

I second that!  Really great looking smoke coming from the stacks.  Very realistic and again , a great way to hide a corner. 

[up1950s]

And it protects the stacks from the harm of the arm .

[wm3798]

Now that is SMOKIN'!

[Roger Holmes]

Thanks guys.  I didn't expect to see my stacks on SNFF .  It's fiberfill held in place with a pushpin in the ceiling.

 The Boobie Hatch was a limited kit from Downtown Deco and the "Ladies of the Night" are from Preiser.  I didn't realize how anatomically correct the one was until I saw my photos full size

I'm a little surprised that nobody has commented on Homer's beer truck.  I bought it on theBay and then lowered the box per the article in this month's MR.

Welcome to RW, Richard and AVEL.
