Superior & Seattle Railroad Build

[S&S RR]

I don't know about the lens, but the model looks great.

Thanks Andy


The model is sitting on the workbench waiting for me to finish the trestle - then I can plant it in it's permanent home.

Nice depth of field.

James


Thanks - I think this lens is really going to help with the close-up shots.

John,

Trestle is coming along very nice.  I didn't know you punched a time clock when you start and stop working on the railroad.  Sounds like work to me.

The pictures are great.

Thanks for stopping by the thread.  I spent 38 years in the Auto industry so everything was measured in hours.  I still do it with the projects on the layout - in retirement.  It really helps me plan ahead - I'm having way to much fun for this to be considered work.

Brambell's looks great, as does the trestle. You and Tom have a workmanlike approach that's producing amazing progress on both of your layouts. Great results from a businesslike approach to your art.


See you soon...John

Thanks for the kind words John.  Looking forward to our trip. The problem with any layout is that you can get too many projects started and never finish anything.

Speaking of finishing a project - 2 more feet of track detailing to complete and I will have the trestle finished.

Thanks for the kind words Tom.  I'm glad they are almost finished - time for a change of pace.

I made a little progress on the Chippy Hollow build.  Finished the stairs and the loading platforms.
Remember that my build is mirror image of the way George designed the kit.  This results in my stairs going to the left down to the loading dock instead of across the stone building.

John....

I'm a lay down for outside spindly stairways.

That is really cool.

Thanx

Getting everything straight is a challenge with bi-focals.  I'm using small squares for just about everything.  Price of reaching retirement age.
