It's another week . . . post 'em if you got 'em.  There were several late-comers in last week's post.  Check them out, then come back here afterward.

What's been running on your railroad?

It seems we've had some extra time to work on and play with trains.  What's running on your railroad?

Here's what ran on mine this weekend, starting with an SD40-2 sandwich on GP39Es.  The GP39Es are GP30s rebuilt by BN in the early 1990s.  The models are Proto.

Cell phone photography - an update

In 2015, I posted a blog entry on my first attempts to use a cell phone camera for model railroad photography. While the results were already quite promising, they could not yet compete with real cameras at the time. Now, five years later, the situation has changed completely. In January 2020, I bought a Huawei P30 cell phone. I could hardly wait for the first opportunity to take some model railroad pictures. The results were impressive.

IAIS's West End - Sitting still can be fun

As many of us adjust to the Coronavirus and its accompanying "social distancing", e.g. working from home, avoiding crowds, etc., I thought I'd post a reminder that occasionally taking a break and sitting still - whether we're talking about us as layout owners or the prototype equipment we model - can be positive too.

Steam Powered Snowplow 2020 video

Outstanding scenery, sound and video. The dead silence of winter and whistle sounds echoing through the mountains.

Model railroad displays on display at...(worldwide)

Hi all,

A large number of modellers have probably heard of Hamburg's "Miniatur Wonderland", "The Franklin and South Manchester", or The San Diego MRC's displays at Balboa Park in San Diego, where model railroads are on display to the public. Some of these public facing layouts have almost achieved a legendary status as a "must see if in town". These are perhaps some of the better known ones.

Coming Along...

Whistle blasting for the approaching grade crossing, #17 pulls the morning local freight westbound into the town of Comptche on my HO scale Pacific Coast Railroad. It is so nice to be able to make photographs that don't show unfinished areas now...
