Finished up a fantasy SD40 for Maryland and Pennsylvania.  May I present, in Horribly Oversized scale, Ma&Pa #3000

That mop bucket in the background looks like it's catching all the overflowing water. 

That’s funny. I hadn’t noticed that. Actually the water is flowing from the mop bucked towards the camera. That’s why it’s so grey.

There is so much great modelling this week.

@Dave V , that scenery is amazing.   @u18b , the WM shay is inspiring, @BCR 570 i can’t wait to this car complete.

Really, EVERYONE here is inspiring. Keep up the great work.

Added ripples to my river this week using gloss Modge Podge.  I'm pretty happy with how they came out.  Not sure if I will follow it up with WS water effects to add additional larger ripples in areas or just stop while I'm ahead.  Here's some pics of my progress.





As always, thanks for looking!

Awesome @davidgray1974 !  Thanks @craigolio1 !

Here are two more for me this weekend.  One is Rico on the HOn3 RGS and the other is the current state of the N scale Colorado Midland.

@davidgray1974 I’d call it good and move on.

Awesome Dave.  You're officially a Coloradan when you move here, and build not one, but two Colorado themed layouts.  Your work continues to inspire!

Some of the best realistic Appalachian creek modeling I've seen to date.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

So hot.

Weird URL though. What's up with that?

That's so wrong, but yet, so right.

I store the images on a business server.

Thanks DaveV and Smike!  Appreciate it!

Got anything available in LOG JAMMING country?

[Lemosteam]

Ed's logs only jam toilets. Bah Doom TIS.

It was a steamy weekend here at my apartment (and it had nothing to do with Valentine's Day). Inspired by @randgust 's D16 thread and @wm3798 's vintage tinkering, I went about a theoretical steam kitbash that I had been sitting on for a while; placing the old Bachmann 2-8-0 shell on the newer (well, first run spectrum) 2-8-0 to create a passable Reading I10sa. Do I really need them? No.

I do.  Nice!  I haven't gotten around to doing mine yet.

Oh, gosh... Altamont. Old stomping grounds. The tracks to the right are the SP's line between Tracy and Niles, abandoned in the late '80s. My most recent trip through Altamont was on Amtrak, believe it or not, the Coast Starlight detouring between Oakland and Los Angeles via Bakersfield while the Coast Line was shut for trackwork. No passenger service on this line now as the modern CZ runs on UP through Martinez - there were railfans everywhere when we went through.

...

You might be please to be reminded that the Altamont Commuter Express presently runs this line six days a week.
