Unk-I know what you did! You used Photoshop to make it look like your photos are of models but you can't fool us with photo trickery.

OK Woodie, these ARE "real" pictures.

Dixie Paper, on the layout, recieves plastic pellets to make plastic coated paper for the food industry.  Today I did some research to see just what this should look like.

If anyone else is modeling a similar industry and needs prototype information, I would be happy to share my file.

Gee whiz Bob, I thought these were models. You gotta quit fooling us! Actually, I could tell the difference, your models look more realistic than the real things.

Thanks Woodie but YOUR models look totally real AND they have a wonderful sense of time and place... a MOOD!  :apl:

So... may I suggest that if anyone is reading this and you HAVEN'T seen "The Mogollon Railway", please, RIGHT NOW, click out of this, go to NARROW GAUGE, find the MOGOLLON thread ...(it'll be near the top)....and ENJOY! 
Bob;)

Great modeling there, Bob.

I really like the staged photo with the hose 'coupled' to the hopper outlet. And tell us how you made those little yeller flowers.

 

Sorry, Bob, it still looks like some of your excellent modeling efforts. I'm sure once you get this industry built it'll look as real as the real thing.

On our layout, short line East Tennessee Railway provides a lot of traffic both for CSX and NS.  I've used a paint scheme from the prototype ETRY for the freelanced Loganville Division.  This is U23B number 218, still missing some details but coming along.  Note the Blomberg trucks.  Some GE Universal series locomotives were built with trade-in EMD trucks; SCL had a number of them.  Some others got EMD's at rebuilding as is the case with 218.  This was my first large-scale diesel (built from an Aristo Craft U25B).  Good to have the ole gal back in operation!  :thumb:   Bob

I did a little Photoshop / MS Paint on a recent shot of Dixie Paper to show how things should look when complete.  (for scale, note that the CSX Geep is about 2ft long.            Bob
