It is Friday afternoon so I will start the weekly photo fun.

IMG_0424.JPG 

It is September, 1968 at South Junction on the CPR Adirondack Subdivision in Montreal.  Due to a dispatcher miscalculation Train 222 (D&H 34) The Laurentian from Montreal to Albany is holding at the home signal on the South Junction Lead as Penn Central VM11 from Dewitt (Syracuse NY) heads to St. Luc Yard on the North Track.  Train 904 to Wells River VT waits at the home signal on the South Track for VM11 and 222 to clear before heading south.   CPR and B&M pooled power on Trains 904 and 915 between White River Jct. VT and Montreal.  Penn Central and New York Central before it for many years ran passenger and freight service into Montreal.  For a year after the Penn Central merger just about any kind of PRR and NYC power came into Montreal.

I still have to weather the D&H PA and complete the scenery.

The photo is a grab shot with my iPhone.  Next time I should use my DSLR.

Tank Car

Its too modern for my layout but I jsut finished building this tank car. It is a P2k kit, back dated with arch bar trucks and K brakes. Lettering is from Black Cat. It is probably more appropriate for 1930's than the 1920's but I confess to having a lot of difficulty in telling tank cars apart!

Ian, from the photos I've been seeing, your layout is quickly becoming a real favorite of mine here.  I'd love to see more about it.  Do you have a layout plan posted somewhere?  More pics?

Brent - Nice job on the tank car

Hobbez - Very well-done water!

Hobbez - love those streams - look like they go on forever.

This photo recently got posted on my current "Mortimer" Blog (http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/18776) but I am quite chuffed with how well it turned out so I'm posting it here as well.
Apologies for the over exposure

Oldies

Tore - I agree with Jurg, very nice scene and hopefully we will see some more of your scenery work on the Red Mountain & Silvertown Railway in the future.

JodyG - "Brooding" is the word that comes to mind - nice moody shot.

MikeC - love the big guy looking at the switcher and the back scene is dreamily perfect.

@ MikeC

MikeC,

After looking at your train I was studying your background painting.  I have to ask if you painted that?  I like how it was done.  Your painted backdrop gives us a locale, but does not forcefully jump out at us.  We notice it, we know we are in the city, but it doesn't take the focus off what is going on with the trains.

@fernpoint and @dkaustin

Thanks Rob! and I think that big guy from Preiser graces many a layout worldwide

Den - thanks, and yes I painted it with acrylics. I still use it as a makeshift prop on the new layout, but the rain has got to it and it's in poor shape now.

I've changed the color of my Diorama with Photoshop. I think the Cars from Gary Christensen and the Engine from Rodney Walker looks very impressive.

Weathering Practice

Trying to teach myself when to quit weathering. Yesterday I "completed" this car, using oil paint, pan pastel, and some floquil paint markers for the trucks and wheelsets. Decals for graffiti and conspicuity stripes. 

The right hand car is as the kit is built out of the box.

That is a really nice picture Rob. Great composition and an unusual angle for a model railroad. Well done!

ATSF at An Affair With Trains HO railroad

The RailMaster DSM-8 speakers in the first two consists (all locos have sound) have been tweaked via the Tsunami equalizer and have a decent moan when the computer is attached to external speakers such as Cravens or even iHome. The last train is pulled by two early run Athearn RTR CF7s with ESU Select decoders with DSM-8 speakers. Excellent control but a new learning curve on programming to master.

Tank Car

Very nice modeling, I have a thing for 'cans' especially the older cars so your car is a hit with me.

Since you have gone to some lengths represent an older car and era, you might want to back date the plackard.  The one you used is a modern DOT standard FLAMABLE plackard. Go to Tony Thompson's  Modeling the SP site,  you can find he did a piece on modeling tanks.  In the blog he includes samples of the older plackards which if you can do some foto tricks on your computer, you can shrink the graphics to your scale.
