I'm working on modeling this overpass, as part of my Kankakee station module:



So far, my miter saw and Silhouette cutter have gotten me to this point:



I've got a lot of work ahead of me.   :)

This week I painted and decaled this pulpwood car based on a pic I have....





There's a quick and easy way to make those pulp loads look a million times better... you just need to have two of them to start with...

Hope that's useful stuff there...

ACME Labs: Skunkworks finished up the electrical work on the SuperBerk. This largely wraps up the 1st Berk in the series. The lead engineer is going back to the drawing board with the lessons learned to incorporate into SuperBerk 2.0.

This was the light test to get closer to an NKP variant.

Very nice work, and a good complement to the CP modelling from Mark and Mike.

I managed to get 6 cars out of the Bad Order/RIP Track line and back into service. Also "painted" some NZT Products N scale used ties with and India ink wash, and installed them along the mainline to represent a section that has recently seen the track gang go by.  DKS has every right to be proud of this product line - it looks really good with minimal effort.

Us Canadians are slowly taking over the Railwire! We've got a couple of CP modellers, one or two CN modellers and what, 2 or 3 PGE/BCR modelers. And I do CP and Algoma Central, but in HO not N.

Opposed piston power IS the CPR in British Columbia through the 50's 60's and early 70's......

But pretty much ONLY BC and Alberta by the 1970s. They were all maintained over at Odgen in Calgary at that point, and didn't really venture east anymore. My club models CP in the 1970s, but in Northern Ontario, and CLC power just wouldn't be appropriate.

Various MLWs on the other hand... (thank you Bowser for the C630M! Eagerly awaiting M636s...)

The CPR Neilson diesel shops were the experts on opposed piston stuff in BC; matter of fact, they's most likely have closed Neilson earlier if the FM-CLC stuff hadn't soldiered on into the 70's....I plan on modeling the Neilson shops on my pike....

....and as for taking over, I prefer to think of it as a selective invasion; like Canadian comics and actors into Hollywood...  ;) We'll never suplant the Pennsy crowd or the Alphabet Line group but we will always be the "funny" guys here...gotta have a sense of humour to live way the heck up here ! :D

Especially when the "Great White North" (or at least my part of it) has been anything but so far this winter...

I want to go sledding dammit! Last year my friends and I stole a hood off an old Chevy Cavalier to use as a tobbogan (one of the guys' family owns a local towing/wrecking company). Nothing like piling 6-8 people on that thing and going downhill!  :D

No kidding, not a hint of ice on Lake Ontario yet...  We got in one day of skating Saturday before more of this warm weather.

We had some snow Friday and Saturday morning - less than a cm, which is still the most we've got so far this year (although London is 45-60 minutes east of here and they've been pounded once or twice - lake-effect snow from Lake Huron really plays with the weather patterns). This morning rain, so it's all brown again.

Halfway through January and still haven't had enought snow to even make a decent snowball....

About two weeks ago, it was +10C and sunny on Monday-Tuesday, around 2-5C and raining by Thursday, -15 over the weekend, and raining again by Tuesday.

Like I've always said, if you don't like the weather in Ontario, just wait 15 minutes.  ;)
