What is this? Steam loco detail
I managed to get some scans from medium format negatives, and (as expected) they answered some questions and brought up new ones. For example, I found this detail on the stack of D&W #24:
SD70ACs GREAT WET PAINT PICTURES FROM LINCOLN, NE DEC 2012
This was written and pictures taken by a friend.
It has been a while since I have sent a photo e-mail – time seems to pass quickly for me…which is a good thing! I have posted a number of images, but have not had time to send out any messages so feel free to peruse my most recent albums….
On with this story: Below are links to a few images taken at BNSF Hobson Yard in Lincoln, NE this month.
Detroit Terminal - The Belt Line Industrial Track
I just posted my final entry in a series of blog posts about the Detroit Terminal Railroad and my plans to model a modern-day, proto-freelanced version. Please check it out at http://detroitterminal.blogspot.com/, and feel free to let me know what you think.
After nearly a year of research - due mainly to the pesky intrusions of real life - I'm ready to start turning all this information into an actual model railroad. I'll continue to update my blog to show my progress, so stay tuned!

Free Narrow Gauge Calendar for 2013

A Prototype for Everything - The Great Western Industrial Park
They say there is a prototype for everything. Here is another at The Great Western Industrial Park (http://www.greatwesternindustrialpark.com/index.html). It is a simple oval with a variety of industries, including a wind turbine blade plant.
If you zoom in with the satellite view, the 45deg view will pop up and you can see the track work in the construction phase. This could make for some interesting modeling.
