Tim, a closer study of your photo tells me the 3D model is an older machine, I spot details that differ between the two.

EDIT: The original seems to be this Union Pacific mallet.

So the OWR&N one is likely a fictional repaint. But very nice-looking nonetheless. ;)

Maybe so. The OWR&N machines were later purchases, more modern than the ones pictured here. These look like repaints of SP's big Mallets, pre-cab forward days; very fine looking models indeed.

What I'd like to see is one of these puppies :):

I better post a screen shot.

Unused but still on site, the venerable gallows turntable makes an interesting scenic feature at the old engine servicing track in Moon Yards. Model by Rick thegrindre.

In the background is First Street Bakery, the old "Government Bakery" by Chris Gerlach.

The head baker lives across the street from the flour wharehouse, where bags of the stuff are off-loaded.

Nice TOC atmosphere in that group of pics.

.. ( TOC 1900s that is, I guess we have to specify now :-))

And, thank you, Wayne! I think it was Andre, who began using the term, "Turn of the Last century", TOLC. ;)

First Street in Algernon. The Bakery is at the vanishing point in the picture, far end of the street, where the box car is parked. That's facing east.

Induces assotiation
The "main line" is just ahead, right?
It would be interesting to see track scheme of the layout.
Is it a secret?
TrackViewer even can show it with roads and real terrtex background, If it's desirable.

Yup, I started off using simply "TOC" back in the 1990s.. but once the century actually turned (again), I added "19" to it to indicate the turn of the 19th century, thus "TOC19".

Clear as mud?

"V scale" is my term, too. Just made sense at the time. It's been gratifying to see it become a somewhat standard term to refer to computer train simulation.

I also have a "Vinduro" motorcycle group which stands for "VINtage enDURO". I coined the term "Vinduro" in about June or July of 2000. Given my interest in vintage enduro motorcycles, the word just seemed natural to me. That moniker went global and there are Vinduro interest groups all over the world: UK, NZ, Aus, Asia Pacific area, etc.

Portland Traction Co. SW-1's 100 and 200 from Paul Charland.

I'm partial to the 100 as I have some fond memories attached to it, of riding the front sand box on a trip from Milwaukie to East Portland, Oregon in the early 80's (the trolley poles were long gone by that time). It used to run past my house on Ochoco Street, Sellwood in Portland in the mid-70's. Paul's model brings all that back to me and I appreciate it very much.

Thanks, Paul.

I made a box car that can go with it. It's in the library tonight. There was a prototype for this car; 1720 was singular in it's class, according to the 1958 ORER.

A dandy pair, these new SP TR-6 Cow and Calf units, from Paul Charland's TSM shops.
