Around the Layout

Thought I'd post  a few pictures of scenes from the layout.  A couple may have been shown in the past, but here they are again anyway.

The former CNW locomotive in the foreground is now a leaser, and is operating on the JSSX in this view.  Just behind it is the Ferrous Processing & Trading recycler, and beyond that is the GTW line.

I modeled my 3885 after the prototype NREX 3885

In the foreground is one of the unnamed warehouses on the layout. This one is scratch-built except for the red brick building at the left hand end of it.

I cropped the picture down quite a bit to take out some of the blue backdrop and the facia along the front of the layout.

Closeup of the loading dock at that warehouse in the above photo.

The grey sided building, loading dock, pallets, and dock plate are all scratch built from various Evergreen styrene pieces

Here comes NREX 3885 again, just about to roll onto the street trackage on South Industrial Blvd.

That NW boxcar was sold to another modeler this past spring, so is hopefully seeing plenty of time on his layout.

This pair of oil tanks fill in one of the corner areas on the layout.  I had the idea for this after noticing two tanks near the road at the Imperial Oil facility here in Sarnia. 

The tanks are Pikestuff kits.  The chain link fencing is scratch-built.

After weathering these Jersey barriers a few months ago I set them onto this old flatcar until I decided where to put them out on the layout.

They're still sitting on the flatcar

Enjoy your layout everybody.
