Great looking trackwork and scenery!

Thank you!

Man, that line of Geeps look fantastic!

[@CNW1025]

Hehehe...yeah I have a bit of an obsession with early Geeps. That 567 sound, its just beautiful. You need a nice early GP7 or something on your layout to go with that SW800 pair.

@@CNW1025 Yes, I actually pulled out a GP7 this weekend, no box or anything, no idea where it came from, but runs smooth as heck.

Awesome job. Tell me about the CNW waffle side box car doors.

[@CNW1025]

Thanks. Those waffle cars are modeled to represent a prototype of what CNW used for grain cars, specifically on the Black Hills Division. Got the idea from the usual CNW videos like “Remembering the cowboy lines” and etc.

@@CNW1025 I was thinking about that today. I remembered it from that video. There is a guy named Jeff Toft who has some good CNW videos posted on KZbin.

@@cnwtrain Yessir, I am familiar with his videos, he has quite a few of them. Good quality CNW stuff from a good era

What do you use for photo backdrops?

[@CNW1025]

The main photo backdrop is a pano shot that I got years ago and then heavily worked it to be about 50' long in one print.

[@rwundrock]

@@CNW1025 How big were the sections you applied, and with what type of adhesive?

[@CNW1025]

@@rwundrock I cut the 50' print into sections that were manageable for one person of about 48-65". The perimeter is 1" double sided tape and the rest of the backdrop has spray adhesive on it. I was able to install those sections by myself and the joints are butted up together not overlapped.
