In progress...

...all done with artist oil paints...weathering is done in different degrees of dilution of the oils...only used burned sienna and burned umber untill this stage...adding lamp black for the underside in the next step...I only use Winsor&Newton artist oils for their fineness of their pigments...other then that, take your time and work in stages...and think "common sence" when weathering...

Not much to be seen...

... in the yard today.

But down at the river, the boys of the B&B gang are setting up old piledriver OB to do some work on the trestle.

H0n3 modular stuff, of course.

What a start!

What a start to the thread this week. Excellent modeling and photos everyone!

Richlawn RR - Klemptner Bros. Salvage Yard office

I am working on the office for my salvage yard.  Much more work to do!

#7 on the way out to pick up a load of logs

@Rick

You better use some serious flashing where your flat roof meets the wall of the peaked roof...all the rain run off will head that direction!   Looks good Rick...just kidding.   John

I'm with you, John!  To two

I'm with you, John!  The two buildings are supposed to look like they were cobbled together and will indeed have flashing & tar where the roofs meet. 

Whitman Green

Excellent work this week everyone!

​That Cascade Green train is kicking Jeff!

​Excellent In Progress shot Jappe!

​The Greenville Gondola borders on being the most realistic car I have ever seen Gary, the pipe load is outstanding and the empty car rivals it, very very well done my friend!

Just some unorthodox shooting angles on an old dio, was kind of going for the "shot from the overpass" look, not sure I'm liking at much but it does catch the class GP38 #300 and Katy's famed F38M #401B​ 

Another shot of class GP38 #300 from the road crossing

Climax locomotive in B&W

Some black and white shots of my Climax locomotive running around the layout. The scale is Sn3 and the engine is a brass PBL engine. The engine has a DCC decoder, smooth runner.

The #3 coasting downgrade from the mine

Been watching Mike's videos on TMT...

I've been working on this crusty Alco with a little help from Mike Confalone...    Here is a shot with the rails and couplers attached.  #29 is finished now as well.

Wow, great work from

Wow, great work from everyone! 

I especially like that pile driver shot; and the color of the pipes in the Greenville gondola is so perfect, they stand out in a scene that is brimming with perfection.

Great models, ...

... great pictures! Thanks for sharing!

@Jeff,  I like that all BN shot.

Gardening and Landscaping time

Nice sunny and hot afternoon, so making trees: My favorite way, the "15 minutes" per trees technic. On the layout they will look nice (outside sunlight not the best) So: 7 tall trees, 4 "manicured" trees and 4 shrubs. It took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish (raw material, glue, paint, glue foliage and let dry) I'll plant them [on the layout] later.

I'm always inspired when I

I'm always inspired when I glance at this thread! The talent is overwhelming!!

Had some fun with a little scenery on a newly built "drop down" bridge...

Lots of great variety this

Lots of great variety this week, keep up the good things! Nice work to all, it's been a joy to view.

Project 'Popsicle'...

Definitely an 'in-process' photo - been working on this one for years, as time and desire allowed.  SP TE70-4S 'Popsicle' 7030 rounds a curve on its way downgrade to Emerton on my proto-fictitious Emerton Branch on the SP Oregon Division.  This was bashed from an old N scale Atlas/Kato U25B using square brass tube for the unique exhaust stack, Evergreen styrene and lift rings, wipers, etc. from Gold Medal Models detail set number 160-7.  Still a bit of work needed - some detail bits, 'specially on the pilots and roof, and a bit of weathering yet to add. 

Grinding up the old truss bridge toward Summit...
