Re-named Eastside Electric Railway to genericize the route, I took it to the next town south, Campbell. Thanks to Wayne Campbell for his road bridge, and to Steve Thompson for his river terrtex, trees and general help. Tim

This is beautiful work. The atmosphere is quite incredible. You even managed to capture an electrical spark from the trolley pickup. Its good to see you enjoying the route building side of the hobby.Nice Work!Wayne

RE: Latest Scenes along Old PEPCO Route.

Hi Wally,At the rate I'm going, three years. It's more or less something I just crack away at between times. To get away from TSM! THanks for looking!Tim

Really beautiful work. You really catch the "state of mind" angle.
You really have an eye for this!

Thank You, that's what I try to accomplish, and traction is just perfect for this. Here's another shot from Railroad Avenue:

Those photos look like Howard Fogg was busy with his paint brush.

RE: Latest Scenes along Old PEPCO Route.

Tim, You are welcome. I have 2 signed and numbered artist proofs from him. One of them is the "Great Race" the 1930 race of the Broadway Ltd and the Century Ltd. The other one that is in storage depicts a UP freight in the middle of no where. I have a hundered or so post cards/christmas cards that have been sent to my mom, dad, and other relatives by Fogg and his wife. I also have many prints that I have purchased and am always looking for for more prints, Artist Proofs and Originals(like someone is going to part with an original).

RE: Latest Scenes along Old PEPCO Route.

You're very fortunate to have such a collection. I take it your family knew the Foggs? Wow. The closest thing I have to an original is parts of an old UP 1969 Calendar all of Fogg's work. I passed up a couple framed prints he did for ALCO depicting some MKT FA's I found in an antique shop - they wanted more than I could pay .But, I can try to emulate him in MSTS! Thanks,TimPS .. I got your SP&S flat and NP tank from your website just now, Thanks!!

Tim,
You are welcome for the cars and thankyou for downloading them. We have been busy revamping the site during the last month, so I have not had much time to work on the 3DC projects I have been working on. But with the completion of that project, I will be going full swing with them. Especially since "coonskin" and several others are interested in me completing the Baldwin VO-1000.
I also have the half built Sacramento Northern GE 650 steeple cab to finish as well.
As far as my family knowing the Foggs? Well my dad and my grandparents visited with them on many occasions as well as wrote each other. My dad talked about going to Colorado on the DRGW and even had a cab ride in the F unit with pics( those are in storage as well). I met him once when I was too young to remember.
