Wow, the first week, this thread shot off like a racin' speeder. It seems the novelty has died down just a bit. None-the-less, I shared a picture of my new toy in the N scale engine of the week forum and thought I'd share another angle here.
Hey TrainNut now I'm drooling all over my keyboard. That is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I am going to now have to get a divorce 9even though I am not married) just so I can get me one of the big boys. DROOL SLOBBER DROOL
Nuther pic of the 3 stores.This time with their neibor.
Notice that all stores have front doors now.Scratchbuilding the blue one was a fun PITA but I'm happy with the way it turned out.Now comes the real fun part,selecting and adding all the details.
I still haven't decided which layout they are going on,but I'm leaning toward the little home layout.
Next pic will show them on location.

Well now I didn't know we could post proto pics I could go all year
Here are a few
These one was taken just out of Flagstaff, AZ on the BNSF Line. I was very happy to catch a Warbonnet still in Santa Fe Lettering. The engine had a beautiful horn on it as well.
Sorry for the bad photo, but you can get a glimpse at how old the Warbonnets are getting. I was also glad to see one still in Sante Fe lettering. Not sure where this one was taken, possibly Raton Pass in NM. DSCF1691.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Thats all for now, hope ya'll enjoyed the Warbonnet pictures! I hope I'll be able to post some more pictures.
