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 scene from my S gauge model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1. The Texas & Pacific diesel is an original from American Flyer.

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.

Current work in progress, and sister layout to my “Tohoku City” exhibit. Next items "to do" are working street lamps, road markings and vehicles. .

Temporary TT scale (1:120) photo diorama. For the background picture, I used a photo I took in July 2016 at 751D-Park in Beijing, China. The final scene plays in Russia, however. When looking at this structure, it struck me that it would be a nice background for a model scene. The diesel locomotive model is a ЧМЭ2 made in the 1980s by German TT scale manufacturer BTTB, the preceeding company of Tillig.
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.

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.
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.

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.
