Don't see anything started so here goes.
Just picked up a shiny new Atlas Gold CSX MP15DC to rotate with My NS unit.

Here's a pix of my Atlas N Scale MP15DC on my temporary 2'X4' layout.I decided a 2x4 footer was to small and I will be building a permanent industrial switching layout..Please excuse the bare plywood.

Interesting that both are the same road number but with different paint schemes. I goggled to find out which one is correct and it turns out both are. http://www.ns3010.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=15195&Page=1

Dude, that was weird. Same number....different schemes. Cool way to start of the weekend.

Wow nice shots! Funny about the road number thing...

I wasn't happy with my city scene, it just didn't "flow in the right direction".
Here's a new start, built this with the Walthers Modulars. Lots of touch ups to do yet, as well as give it a name.

Progress continues on my city area. Silflor buffalo grass is pretty neat stuff!
Now I need to figure out how to build a chain link fence for the lumber yard.

clean yard

Cleaned out the yard to-day the basement is finally warmed up

Built 2 more modules for my city area

Looks like you'll have a nice size layout. That would be nice to have a yard that size. Looks good.

Well.. I'll throw a couple in for this week

This is a Walthers Trainline GP9M that has been modified and details added then repainted and weathered.

This is a Proto 2000 GP30 stock but has been weathered.

Switch 117A is done. And so is 117B (not shown). 117A is the diverging track, not the crossover. I wanted to combine the crossover and the new turnout and make it a double slip, but everyone except me was against it. Sigh.

Thanks!

In the forground and just a couple of inches behind the engine is baking soda just spinkled on. Beond that is the real stuff. This is just a little 2'x4' diorama that I take out behind my house. The day was also overcast which helps that cold feeling.
