Post pics of your model RR here

I'm curious as to see what ya'll's model rr look like. I don't have any pictures of mine but its nothing really to show off. Its just a floor layout right now. I'm gonna try to convince my Dad to start building it soon. Its HO scale with a lot of cars and engines.

Well, it's not my layout, but here's some pictures anyways: The AMTK train is mine.Making a stop at Alvarado depot.
Making a stop at Mt. Eden. Only one door can be opened here as much of the train is on a high trestle.
My friend Tom's SP GP-60 #9717 starts to climb a helix with a stack train while my train makes a stop at um, where ever that is.
The stack train needs a lot of power to climb the hills on this layout. My Dash-8 could manage controlling it up the slight hills and easily down of course, but didn't stand a chance on the big ones. I brought the stack train out for the photo while Tom fiddled with the ditchlights on the GP-60.
John pointed out when I showed him this photo that I was "so fired" for fouling the diamond, but I told him the dispatcher allowed it because there's the station right there. Suuure.
Crossing one of the tresles over... umm, a river. Amcans, blech! One of my horizons has a really loud flat I can't figure out, too. Bizarre.

Tim Forst, Who makes tthose Amtrak phIII cars? They look nice. And I prefer my Pepsi Can livery more than the Ph4 on my trains

They look like Walthers. They make some really nice Amtrak stuff. Especially their Superliners.

This is far from finished. Between getting into railfanning and running this sim my layout is on hold.

They're all Walthers, but the locomotive is Atlas. Well worth it. Well detailed. I also have some Walthers Express cars but they need a few adjustments, and a Bachmann Silver Series full dome, which needs even more adjustments. Tim Frost

Im currently working on an 11x14 HO layout based on the Pennsy Middle Division.Currently i have 25% of the plaster down, all the track wired, blocked and trains have been running. 90% of the roadbed is finished, except that on the elevated portions...
Buildings are in various stages of completeion and weathering.. rollingstock is completed and 90% is weathered with artists charcoal..Im attempting to keep things transition era-ish from about '45 to '65... but im trying hard to stay in the 52 to 58 range most..I am running Pennsy, NYC, B&M and and SP daylight equipment..
Engines are mostyl Proto 2000, atlas, and atherarn genisis.I also have a BWL Hudson and GG1 which i love playin with at night cause it wakes up my bro who has the room next to my layout room...(BWL is the sound equipped engines)Ill get pics for you guys when i get my new camera!

Awesome shots there Tim! Are you running it on DCC?? The lights on those GP60's look fantastic!! I have 2 SP, 1 SSW and 2 Santa Fe GP60's on my layout (along with heaps of other NS and BNSF/Santa Fe locos). I would love to get the lighting like that! I would post shots of my railroad, but I dont have a scanner or a Digital Camera ERA: 1995 (just after the BNSF merger). Run through CSX and UP trains. 1 Amtrak train. (Dash8-32-PBW)
Tunouts/Track: "Number 6's", Atlas Nickel Flexitrack.
Control: DC (normal comand). Hoping to expand to DCC next year.
Predominate locmotives: GP60's, ATSF GP50's, C44-9W's, SD40-2's, GP40-2's, B40-8W's, GP60M's, U30C's, GP38-2's.>Mike Forster<

Awesome shots there Tim!I'll second that! Y'know, those pic's sparked my interest and desire to build a model railroad again... I have Handbook #36, "HO Railroad from start to finish" from Kalmbach, why not?MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004

Thanks! It is all DCC, the GP60 is Proto2000 and it's definitely one of the nicest scale locos I've ever seen! Just be warned, it took Tom (his loco) about 4 hours to get the ditchlights how he wanted them... Worth it though, only required some minor tweaks once it was finally in. All it needs is some SP filth! Actually my Dash-8 could stand some filth too... Tim Frost

>the GP60 is Proto2000 As in Life Like's Proto2000's?? I switched from life like to Atherns/Atlas 4 years ago. I used to buy a lot of Life Like's GP38's, but then relised there were better locos you can buy. It looks like Life Like have up'ed the anti. >Just be warned, it took Tom (his loco) about 4 hours to get the ditchlights how he wanted them... Looks like its worth it though buddy! >All it needs is some SP filth! Watch yourself dude, I weatherd one of my U30C's. It was over kill!! The other 3 U30C's (2 BN, 1 LS&I) have nicely been weatherd, not too little, but not too much either. That Dash8 you have, Is that Atlas's new Dash8?? I saw a massive ad for those in the November issue of Model Railroader. They also have done those in Santa Fe Warbonnet which look terrific!! >Mike Forster<

... actually, I have to admit I never had many of the necessary supplies for building a model railroad. All the better hobby shops are in Manhattan, I'm stuck in Queens without a car, only the subway. BTW, how did Tom learn how to install ditch lights on the GP60? Any book of some kind on the subject?MTA Going your way for 100 years. 1904-2004
