Great work everyone last week!  Time to start of this week's photo thread!

As always, we get as much out of your in-process photos as we do the highly polished "all done" shots!

A somewhat indulgent shot of a pair of detailed SD9s and semi-scratchbuilt flanger; all work by Rob Mallett apart from the scratchbuilt icebreakers I contributed to the project.

Hi All:

Some of my older Proto 2000 "Athearn clone" mechanisms have the dreaded axle gear split.

Do any of you know what Athearn part number I need to look for to replace in the 4-axle diesels? Did Athearn's 6-axle and 4-axle diesels use the same axle gear?

Thanks for any input.

After a week away in dreary, humid, rain on me every day Florida, I returned to do a bit of work tonight on the Idaho Belt at the paper mill. I'd been tweaking the track plan for this area because while the prototype mill this layout is based on is on a branch that sees no through traffic inside the mill, my version will. And that makes me wonder about the placement of my power plant spur and the pulpwood spur.
