Weekly Photo Fun - August 14th to August 20th, 2015

Great work everyone last week!  Time to start of this week's photo thread!

As always, we get as much out of your in-process photos as we do the highly polished "all done" shots!

Photo Inspiration

I went for a drive today along the BCRY to get some inspiration.  I took this picture of the siding at Colwell, Ontario and I think that it visually encapsulates this shortline perfectly.  Here we have the former CN Meaford Subdivision which began life as the Ontario, Simcoe & Huron Union Railroad in 1855, and once a moderately busy Class One branchline, now barely clinging to relevance as it twists its way through the wilderness choking on rust and weeds.

Playing with PhotoShop

One of my side interests is railway slides.  I have amassed quite a few over the years, and an offshoot of this is trying to find locations that were shot in the past and see how they look now.  An ongoing "project" is finding locations in the Vancouver area related to the historic BC Electric streetcar and interurban services that were shut down in 1958.

IAIS's West End - UP power on IAIS

I've been on a UP locomotive building kick lately and thought I'd share the results.  Many of the models in this post had previously been in service on the layout, but in untouched factory paint with no weathering.  A big part of this push was to renumber, redetail, and weather them to match units that operated on the IAIS during May 2005.

Building plan eBook size

I am wondering how large the 2 structure ebooks PDF files are. I currently have no house internet and I use my phone for web access. I would like to take advantage of the special price for both ebooks but need to make sure I can download to my phone so I can then transfer them to my computer. Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
