Thanks...It is slowly coming along....

Well its been awhile since I posted anything on my Gladstone Yard layout. Been busy with other things. So today I grabbed my camera and headed to the yard to see what was going on. Caught an unusual visitor to the yard and got it on video. Also took some pictures and it sure didn't look to busy arou...

When I painted an n scale GP9 in HESR colors I used C&O Enchantment blue, Reefer white and for the yellow I used SF Catwhisker Yellow........turned out real nice

Thanks,,,,,I wish I could do better though.............

Last video from this weekends "railfan trip". This one from the west end of Gladstone Yard. You can see some scenery progress at this end of the layout. The signal I'm not sure is even correct but stuck it there for the video......it looked cool....anyways,4 CN SD40's ( #5116, #5378, #5385 & #6018)h...

Truthfully, none of my locomotives have any sound.............the sound you do hear is the noisy locomotives.....really though, they are not that noisy but the camera I used is very sensitive to sound and picks up every little hum and buzz.............but it did sound kinda cool, didn't it?

Railfanning Gladstone Yard today...Late afternoon sun shining as it sets in the Upper Peninsula western sky.........Caught some history that will never be seen by anyone again. 4 Wisconsin Central units SD45 #7525, SD35 #2500, SD45 #7638 and SD40 #6001 running light into Gladstone Yard.................

no one has posted anything new here in a while so I thought I'd show everyone what I've been working on,,,,these are all Nscale. A couple of CN SD70, CN Dash 9, And 2 WC SD45,,, the last 2 SD45 photos the locos aren't quite done yet but enjoy the pics............. http://railroadfan.com/gallery/disp...

Thanks for the compliments.............. I will eventually have 2 decks as the upper deck will be the line from Gladstone to Trout Lake/Sault Ste Marie...... No helix as yet but will have one here in the near future. I am going to use an oval shape helix. Seen one in the Kalmbach Book on helix desig...

here is my 2 cents worth on your locomotives. I'm stictly a modern diesel type guy so maybe my opinion won't help for your steam engines, but here it goes: Model Power........absolute junk in my opinion kato..............best of the best..smooth and quiet Atlas............really good almost as good ...

pretty nice custom job!

Thanks AARR! appreciate the comments

Update here on the Gladstone Yard layout. Have been busy building the upper deck and installing lighting. Also completed the benchwork and some track laying for the E & LS yard at Wells, MI. The 4 photos I posted show what I have gotten done since my last update. Track is not permament yet in the ya...

Here is the newest custom paint job. Not quite finished yet.......I purchased decals from Oakland County Customs when he made these a while back. GP40-2 #1164 of the Lake State/ Saginaw Bay Southern Railroad. I used the color of prussian blue which was a pretty close match. Same color OCC used when ...

Yes I do Don. I cannot find any snow shields for the SD40's though, sunrise used to make them but no more. I'll have to scratch build them. The GP38/40 will all have them if the prototype has them. Only 1 unit thus far has them installed but I have the rest ready. You know where I could possibly fin...

Here are some pics of the locomotive facility on my Gladstone Yard......Every locomotive in the pictures are custom painted and decaled by me......Enjoy.... http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-57542 http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-57543 http://railroadfan.com/ga...

Oakland County Customs do great work, however, haven't heard from him in a long time. I bought some of his sets of CM and LSRC really good quality....Railgraphics is another company that will make custom decals. I think they have a minimum order of 25 sets and their prices are IMHO a little high. Ha...
