My club has only two more weekends left open to the public until next Thanksgiving. The Burlington County Model Railroad Club is open on 2/14, 2/15, 2/21 & 2/22 from noon to 5 pm. #modeltrains #modelrailroads #burlingtoncounty #southjersey #greaterphiladelphia
I've been working on a few boxcars, which includes this lightly weathered Canadian Pacific car which is now one of my favourites. No graffiti and subtle weathering works well. Roof and trucks still to be done. #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #modelgraffiti
Slow progress on anything productive on the layout, but I have painted another King157 boxcar. I started on the wrong car so had to adapt it to fit the lower height, but I'm reasonably happy with the result. #modelrailways #modelrailroads #modelrailway #hoscale #187scale #bsmrguk #modelgraffiti
So far so good: I've only had to crawl under the layout twice today. #modeltrains #modelrailroads

One of our members is putting together a really nice farm scene on our show layout. #modeltrains #modelrailroads
A model railroad module with a paved road, edged with sand, crossing a double-track main line on a curve.
A model railroad module with a paved road running the four-foot length. On the left, four yard tracks lie next to the double-track main line.
Mistakes were made in touching up the road at the crossing, but the sand verge looks pretty good for a starting point. Needs lots more work, but it'll do for the show this weekend. #modeltrains #modelrailroads
I think this is pretty much painted, guess I’ll put it together tomorrow. #modelrailroads #modelbuilding #scenery
A model railroad module with a shot siding pulled up down to the roadbed.
Photo showing the height difference between the roadbed on two adjacent model railroad modules.
Someone got a bit too precious when this siding was originally laid and used a much lower profile roadbed. So, down to the table we go to relay the whole siding instead of just the 1.5 inches at the end of the module. #modeltrains #modelrailroads
Current T Trak module status. Ground cover is on, tomato factory and tower are built! Trains are running! #nscale #ttrak #modeltrains #modelrailroads

My train is the passenger train, but take a look at the amazing detail on another club members PRR work train. Well done! #modeltrains #modelrailroads #southjersey
My NFRM haul - Athearn AC4400 - I've been after a Building America locomotive for a while, and this was at a great price. Not ideal for the switching layout but will look nice on a shelf; Atlas Ginderson 7550 boxcar - can't have too many boxcars, or graffiti projects; Oxford Rail Mk 3 - to run with my Bachmann 90 or Accurascale 89. Damaged coupler, so cheap. I have a project idea for these; Containers - I have a slack train but lack loads. The Scaletrains ones look a bit short in height, I'm not sure if there are two sizes IRL, I thought they were all standard; Oxford Rail Landrover - can't have enough Landrovers; Rubber brushes - to help with masking, hopefully. That was exciting wasn't it.
My little haul od goodies from #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling yesterday. I think I got a couple of bargains, and definitely some bits I wanted. And kept within budget.

Of all yhe layouts large amd small at the #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling one of my favourite was also the simplest - a single track HO(M) layout named Kreuzweg.

Great day out at the #nationalfestivalofrailwaymodelling at the NEC. Great layouts and excellent trade support. I was glad I got in early as by luch time it was extremely busy.

For anyone interested in my mural boxcar, there's a short video of it on the workbench here. There are other graffiti and modelling videos on my channel too.

Trying out N-Scale model trains by building some T-Trak modules! Now the question is, what scenery should I put on these modules? #nscale #ttrak #modeltrains #modelrailroads #modelrailway #ngauge #katounitrack #uploadexpress
