Posted - 11/09/2020 : 07:49:32 AM At Jerry's request I'll get off my butt and post some stuff Ive been working on.
I've been working like a dog for the last year and this Covid junk has not been much help so my modeling time has been shrunk a great deal.
After being one man short for the last year and another short for the last 7 months due to a surgery, we're finally back to full force and I hope that will change.  |

Posted - 11/21/2020 : 6:17:23 PM Thanks Rich, Larry, Mike and Larry
and my other brother Larry. I had to! 
Larry Calvin and Scott have a saddle tank somewhere in the mix for a future bash.
I got a peek at it after seeing a photo Scott posted on FB. I told him I was sorry to have missed it, but he said I didn't. They haven't released it yet. So I'll be watching for that one.  |

Posted - 11/21/2020 : 5:40:43 PM Dave that is a very, very nice looking loco and the details really set it off nicely. Great idea on hiding the wiring; it looks like it belongs and not an after thought. |

Posted - 11/11/2020 : 7:45:31 PM Cody it’s a decal sheet I had printed after I typed it all up. The font is called Papyrus. Obviously I like it too. 
P51 Getting them to run nice is half the battle. Sometimes more! Lol |

Posted - 11/11/2020 : 2:25:22 PM Great job! I recently got a 2-6-0 to get at the tender for a project and was thinking of something like this, but my layout concept isn't nearly as open to freelance. That and the thing didn't wanna run at all the one time I tried to run her. Otherwise I'd be hitting you up for details on how you did this. |

Posted - 11/11/2020 : 09:21:17 AM George, Bill, Mike, Philip, Ted and Carl Thank you for the kind words!
Many times in the past, they have helped push me onward on whatever project I'm working on, and it's much appreciated.
This one was done already, but I did miss the interaction.
I have a couple older projects set aside that I'm sure the photos have disappeared for that I want to revive, a newer one as well that is calling but there's a diesel critter that I mentioned earlier that I'm into right now until completion. I hope we can have that interaction on that one. Thanks again 
Ted, Yeah its a pretty good camera. But the guy behind it will never be as good at it, as it's previous owner.
I need to build a lighting box perhaps.
