A 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive crosses a river on my S gauge model railroad. I scratch built the trestle from strip wood and created the river using paint and an epoxy resin.

 

Note the activity by the river bank where two travelers have set up a campfire. It's actually a small LCD bulb that is powered from a transistor radio. Instead of HEARING the music you SEE a flickering "campfire."

A shot from my S Scale model railroad. I constructed the urban Elevated using pieces from various model railroad kits and structural elements from Plastruct and Evergreen Styrene. Buildings are kitbashed from S scale and HO scale structures.

CB&Q 49536 is an XM4C boxcar. The prototypes were built by the CB&Q Havelock shops in 1966. They were the only waffle side boxcars on the Burlington.

This model is 3d printed sides, Moloco roof, Branchline ends, Accurail underframe, Plano end platforms and lots of fabricated styrene bits. Decals are an old Modeler's Choice set.

Young people (ie. kids) still enjoy watching trains.

Happy Miniature Fence Friday ...

A morning Harlem Line commuter train passes a Conrail local freight waiting in the siding during the summer of 1982. Once the commuter train is in the clear, the Conrail local crew will drop off a loaded boxcar at King Lumber. HO models photographed outdoors on modules I built and scenicked.

UP 9726 blasts through town.

Trying a B&W iphone filter on a car model. Ended up looking well.

in 1963, the CB&Q Havelock Shop built 300 XM4 boxcars, 47500-47799. The last 10 were built with Transco side sheathing.

 

I had often wondered how to go about building one of these unique cars until Kurt Kruse, as a great modeling gift (or perhaps as a mean trick) had sides 3D printed for this car.

 

It was still something of a challenge to build. In addition to the resin sides, it uses Branchline ends and roof, Accurail underframe, Plano roofwalk and brake platform, some DA freight car detail parts and a bunch of bits fabricated from styrene. Painted with Model Master insignia red and my galvanized mix. Decals came from a bunch of sets including Microscale and some Modeler's Choice leftovers.

I was admiring this model railroad display at a local bank when a delightful older woman joined me. We shared our nostalgic love of trains, both real and in small form. We had both thrilled to the old steam locomotives and spent hours playing with Lionel, American Flyer, and other toy trains of an earlier time.

Another little gem I bought on Ebay. A little Climax geared locomotive in HOn3 scale

In the early 1950's my dad got me hooked on trains, at first model, and then the real thing. We would often visit The New York Society Of Model Engineers when they had their open house for public viewing of both their HO and O Guage model railroads. At this time they were located on Hoboken Road in Carlstadt NJ. Pictured is a part of their HO layout with a Hump Yard that was controlled by compressed air which simulated real life retarders. That's my dad on the left looking on. Sadly he passed away at the age of 59 from a totally unexpected heart attack. I miss the times sharing both life and the hobby with him.

These have been on our coffee table for at least a week. They are wheels (trucks) for Hadley's garden railroad trains. The question remains though why they are in our living room.....

Most of my railfanning in February has been confined to photographing the Santa Fe in my attic. Here a westbound intermodal behind a pair of GP60s and a GP60M B unit enter the yard at Belen, NM.

In 1969/70, the Illinois Central found itself power short. The temporary solution was to lease old F-units from D&RGW, B&LE, and former MKT units from Precision Engineering (PECO).
