Well, congratulations to Steven, for this layout. It's just amazing in it's execution. Are the pieces of rolling stock his, also, or from your collection, Claus?

Hi Tim http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif.

Yes, it's a great layout.
All of the rolling stock are from my collection, but every piece of it is free-ware, and available to everyone. The PRR coal hoppers are free-ware from Jointed Rail, and everything else PRR comes from here: https://trainz-forge.com/freeware

Great shots, Claus. The diesels' weathering, well, their general texturing is the most "intimate" I've seen outside of the real thing. I can almost feel the things!

The OWR&N Mallet is a fascinating model, even though it's got the wrong style of tender. These had Vanderbilt tenders, the ones on the Oregon Lines having a brakeman's cabin, such as in the attached photo, from my Grandmother's collection, taken at Albina, Oregon, late 1920's.



But that doesn't detract from the model and texture work. Laboratory perfect. The Mallet looks great!
