I'm wondering if there is an interest in posting photos of HOn30 projects on this forum. To get the ball rolling, here are some shots of two of my recent builds.

Thanks Martin and Rick. I knew something had to be removed from the code, but I couldn't remember what.
Now let's see if anyone else posts photos.

Thought i could contribute a pic here. I have a number of Hon3 projects underway for a dream layout i guess but its a slow process. A lot of time tinkering with brass locos is slowly sending me mad but i still enjoy it.
I have two of these that were in very pore shape when i got them cheap. this one is almost out of the piant shop but still needs a motor. I have a Mashimam motor for it and need to get a shaft adaptor before i install it. Then its time for the chains, chopped lumber and more logging junk.
I have an issue with the second on in that it has parts missing from the drive line but i will come up with something to make it look nice as a static display.

Also this shay could be the next to the paint shop after the CLimax locos are running again.

EDIT: Just found a pic of one of the climax in the condition it cam in.
 And also a pic of the gunge up power truck next to one that has been cleaned ready for use.

Adrian,
That Climax is looking good. It looked like a parts box when you got it.
Ted,
Neat little center cab.

Ted,
Nice job on the diesel. It looks like a GE 45 tonner.

They are C&BT EBT steel hoppers. They are available thru Walthers despite that people think They are out of production. Every couple of months they get a shipment from C&BT ..my LHS gets them for me, about $20. I cut the center bay out because they looked too heavy to be on cd 55 rail.
