Finished my scratchbuild challenge project today (in the Contests Forum) and took it outside for some pics in the sunshine. This is HO scale, based on a prototype near me in western NY. There is some debate as to whether this was a coal distributor or a dried bean/grain facility.

**TRULY FANTASTIC PICS so far folks!:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Sure, i go to Janesville to take pics of UP's yard, and down to Rochelle to get GREAT shots of BIG UP power:thumb: , but its REAL NICE to just be able to catch shots of MY FAVORITE ROAD right here in town:winki: . UP runs right through Beloit:mrgreen: (so does IC&E, but i don't model them so.......:toug: ), the problem is you never know when they are running so it kinda hard to get pics:frowns: .

today dad and i was heading to 2 hobby shops in Rockford, as we headed down Shirland ave. here in Beloit we seen 5 UP MP15DC's!!!:eeki: luckily i had my camera:mrgreen: . on the way back from Rockford, as we went by Ericson's auto salvage in South Beloit i was able to catch these three Geeps!:eeki: sure is nice when the Road you model has a line that runs through your town:thumb: :mrgreen: .
