Bob, I know what Jan is talking about. It's not your modeling or your pictures it is just the way they look on our monitors. I always thought everything looked a little red but never pointed it out. It was the same way on TWP. For instance, I know you weathered your rails probably with a rust color, but on my computer the rails look as red as the building. Also the junk yard scene, I know everything is rusty but it all looks red. I don't think it is anything to worry about it is just the way it is.

Thanks Andy. I appreciate your explanation. The rails on my  monitor don't show the redness you see on your monitor. The rails were painted first with  Neolube, then a rust color. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

Take care...... :)

Old B&W photo of UP "Challenger " #3985 entering San Marino on the inner mainline track from the Switching Yard. The Empire Gas Works is in the distant background.

I don't know what you did Bob, but the red is totally gone.  Looks great by the way.

In that color picture the reds are much softer.

Andy:

You must also remember I'm also using Arizona Rock $ Mineral ATSF New Winslow Hue Mauve Ballast for my mainlines. This ballast is more pink/red than the "Mauve" and tends to add a reddish tint to color photo's.

Bob,
Nice looking RR ! Have you attended the Plano, TX, train show yet ? Have seem over 30 plus layouts in the DFW area for free by picking up the open house tour map at the door of that show at the Collin County college. Once lived in McKinney for 11 years.....

Tommy:

Thanks for your positive thoughts. The Plano Texas train show is one excellent show and attendance at this show in January is very high. Its a nice two day event. I've attended every show in Plano Texas since 2007. I moved to Frisco Texas in 2009 but started to attend the show in 2007 as my youngest daughter and her family live in Frisco. Last year, the Plano Show expanded to an extra show in October as well. I seen many of the layout tours in over nine years. The layouts on these tours are excellent and they include many scales of model railroading which makes it very interesting.

An old sepia  photo of a Southern 2-8-0 #722 "Consolidation". This steamer was from the first run of Spectrum steam locomotives in 2002 and is still going strong. This 2-8-0 is on a siding west of San Marino near the San Marino Cash Coal. The "Broken Tree" Jurgens Junk Yard can be seen in the foreground.

Bob,

Love the B&W scene of the Idaho Hotel. I didn't realize Bar Mills made it in N scale.

Great shot of #837!

Thanks Tom for your kind comments. Bar Mills made about 200 Idaho Hotel kits as a special release for N scale. This happened about 2004-2005. These kits are very difficult to find as Bar Mills never re-released the Idaho Hotel kits again in N scale.

BTW; a happy belated birthday to you and your wife. Just as a side note, my wife and I also celebrate birthdays on the same day, February 2nd.
