Whoever said "life is the pits" has never been down at the James St. roundhouse in Leetown.

Ed,
Nicely done.
Looks like I lost track of the days this week and was a day early for WPF. Here's another shot of WPMA-40 at pier 32.

C&I #45 picking up a empty boxcar after it was unloaded. In the background we see the tail end of a empty hopper train heading for the mines. Off to the left is a cut waiting to be picked up.

Nice to see two old friends there.
One of the distinguishing features on Canadian National steam locomotives was the brass number plates located below the headlight on the smokebox.An original plate is a collector's dream item and if you could find one the cost would likely be in the thousands of dollars.Fortunately I found a contact in Brantford Ontario who makes replica plates from resin and I recently obtained a full sized plate #6213 to go along with a smaller version #5588.

Bruce - the pier scenes are great.
Ed - that is a great perspective. The plates look great.
Matt - Looking good.
Charlie - Nice shot.
No trains but here is the city scene thus far with some vehicles that I had easy access to.
Some great pictures this week but I'm really impressed with the background scene in Charlie's thread

Don't be too impressed. It was photoshopped.
My daughter is going to paint my backdrops but she wants more practice.

Even photoshopped, it looks awesome.
