Weekly Photo Fun Mother's Day Edition...

This week I finished a JMRI programming area for my layout. Computer down the left side and Digitrax components across the right with a programming track in front.

Plywood wall on the right allows mounting of electrical components.

Computer will run Decoder Pro for programming decoders and later for controlling signals.

Well, I finally completed the cars I have been working on all week.



This is an Front Range 50' Boxcar which is used to replicate an Evans 50' Boxcar, substituted a Detail Associates 10' Superior Door and extended the door tracks to match. Painted with Floquil B&M Blue and Black Paint and lettered with Herald King Decals.



This is an Athearn 50' PC&F RBL w/14' Door, used A-Line Sill Steps in place of the plastic steps, painted with Floquil Tuscan Red Paint and lettered with Herald King Decals.



This is a MDC - FMC 5277CF Boxcar, painted with Floquil B&M Blue and Black paint, lettered with Microscale Decals. This car was used in paper service.

Thanks for looking!

I'm working on an aerial tramway and terminal. The tower is up and the track cables have been strung. The tower and bucket kits are new from Anvil Mountain Models:

While they are based on those serving the Iowa-Tiger Mine, they're quite typical of tramways found across Colorado and many other places in the West.

This is from a layout I built in the early eighties. he layout was from an Atlas Plan book and was called the Plywood Summit Lines. I made a few alterations, and added an extension from a book called The Jerome & Southwestern, and the section was called the Back Alley & Wharf.



This bridge was modeled after one that was close tho where I lived.

Sadly all of this is a memory now.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures but they were taken with a cheap camera, and a photographer that barely knew which way to point the thing.

Finally managed to take some pics of a few weathered flats.









And an Athearn Caboose

To Say I'm a switcher afficianado would be an understatement.

This is 9 of the 10 MP-15DC's I currently own. I can't find the pic of my BLI switchers.
