Thanks Marty; Well, more scenery is under construction as we speak, so hopefully I can take some more photos real soon! I've seen photos of your layout and am very impressed as well.. Happy Halloween everyone! Jim ;) ;) ;)

Hey, thanks everyone... I wish I could claim ownership of these beautiful locos, but, alas, they are not mine. As Gary has pointed out, they were just visiting with temporary trackage rights... Fun stuff... Jim ;)

Looks great, Ed!!! I'm gettin' hungry for a slice... Jim:cool:

Finally, rolling by a nice string of boxcars...

And again; coming off the back line at MC Cabin...

And the next one, rolling by Abbott's farm......

Hello all; Well, here are some more photos of some doubleheaded Erie Berkshires; Gary, sorry it took so long to post these... Enjoy, all... Jim ;)

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful... Jim :cool:

Dick; I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the May 2003 Issue of Railroad Model Craftsman; on p. 80 of that issue there begins an article titled "Kitbashing a Bangor & Aroostook Caboose". This is for an HO model but you may find some very useful tips and photos... Jim Harr :cool:

This really has been a fascinating thread! Val, your mini-scene looks great - can't wait to see more! Blake - fantastic shots of Bethlehem Steel! What a place... Jim :cool:

Nice work, Ralph! I like your use of the fencepost caps. Great job... I'm a big fan of rail-marine ops... Jim :cool: :cool: :cool:

They also make... a great Dodge pick-up truck ;) Here's a photo... Jim

Hi Gang; As I mentioned in my reply to Val's post re: weathering a truck, Roco makes a great VW fastback sedan model that is great for 60's and later modelers. Here's a photo. ;) Jim :cool:

Val; I have to agree with Ralph's assessment of that loading dock with it's interior.. You really nailed it - I love it! Jim :cool:

Blake; You know I've always been partial to this model! I think it's painted just fine; but, the caliber of your work now will eclipse your older work, for sure... I Look forward to the results! Jim :cool:

Hey Marty; This really is fantastic; I can't believe how quickly you were able to get that Main up and running. And very clean, well-joined benchwork and fascia. Very nice indeed; and, I like your choice of prototypes too! Jim :cool:

Andrew: Excellent work! This look sgreat; I just KNOW I've seen a picture of that load somewhere! Speaking of pictures, there is a good book out there, one of a series, called "Classic Freight Cars, the Series", Volume 6: Loaded Flats and Gondolas... This book is chock full (loaded?) of...

What a great idea Ralph - the perfect way to include a bit of that hard-to-model catenary, by just doing a small portion of it. Looks like you're off to a great start; I look forward to more. Your catnary towers look pretty robust, so, perhaps in combination with the etched accessories that...

Thanks again, all, for the nice comments... This was just a quick shot, that begged to get this treatment... Val - That is awesome! Thanks for the revision! Now I'm scoping out other places on the layout for "night" shots!!! :D :D :D Jim

Great scene, Ed! I esp. love the shot with the three-dome tank car - gotta love those weed-encrusted rails! Looks great, Jim
