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.

L&N 552 rolls through the town of Jakers on my former Model Railroad.

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.

This is another recent purchase I made on Ebay. It is an early United model (Tokyo, Japan), that was imported to the USA In 1958. This came in, and still has, it's original green PFM/United box. These are considered "Crown" models because of their limited production, however, they are not rare since there were 494 of them made between 1958 and 1962. All brass construction. The photo was taken in very dark conditions, so when I lightened it a little, it became grainy, sorry for the bad photo.

Foreign power on the tire plant siding with just completed scenery, Lovettsville VA, September 15, 2014

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

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.

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.

 

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

Just completed CGW 106A and CGW 116F. These are detailed and painted Highliner bodies on Athearn Genesis drives. Now I only need three more to complete the set I have planned for trains 192/143 coming in at Dubuque Junction.

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.
