I have been posting reports on my progress on the station at White River Junction.  It is done. I have made a video handling of the trains at the station.  it is interesting because three trains can be at this small station at once. The space is very constrained, so the length of the tracks is quite short but the model still "works" as a model of the real thing.  It may be of interest that a model of this station was featured in Model Railroader about 20 years ago -- and it provided the solution to the toughest modeling challenge -- how to model the cupola.

Looking for ideas on placing a structure onto the diorama base.  The base is carved from XPS foam insulating board shown in the first image - you'll see a gentle curve in the base from front-to-back which copies to topography of my landscape.  The second image shows a concept floor of the structure. The final floor will be cut from 1/8" plywood.  The third image shows the placement of the brick piers that will support the structure.

Hi All,

Went to see some trains today with my camera.  Found a couple scenes that you might enjoy looking at. 

In the spirit of the holidays I'd like to share them with You.

Hope the ensuing year is Happy, Healthful and Prosperous for you.

I’m looking forward to see and enjoy your prototype photos too again this year.  

I truly enjoyed the last couple years photos.  Thanks!

Nick

Able to finish some CN vehicles over the holidays for my layout, Trenton Subdivision in N Scale. Including a supervisors car, work vehicles and tractors for the Covidpan Intermodal Yard. I used Testors Insignia white, Rapido CN Red and Highball Graphics CN MOW Decals. Captions on the photos below give manufacturers and details of the individual models.
