Winter is the time when most model railroaders really get going with the hobby. Its too darned cold for much else, unless you're into skiing, snowboarding, or making snow angels. Wait - we need SNOW for those activities anyway. While I wait for use of a digital camera to take some photos of my projects, Dave has of course been busy making the rest of us look like slackers. After some great buys at the RIT show, here's a couple recent projects. I'm sure we'll see some of them in March at the RIT Free-mo meet.
Speaking of RIT, here's a pair of photos shot by Mike Roque at the Tiger Tracks show in December. These first 3 photos were taken on Jered's modules, refeered to as "Geneva" in combination with Scott's set of 3 mini-mo's.
NS 4806, a former Conrail B40-8, passes over Canal Street in Geneva. The second track on the bridge was removed in the mid-1990's to reduce maintenance costs, and the switch for the passing siding was cut back to the west of the span.
Conrail 1956 leads a string of empty covered hoppers past the CH Scooter Company in Geneva, on its return trip to the yard.
Western New York & Pennsylvania 421, a former Minnesota Commercial Railroad Alco C424, works Geneva's Brayton Milling Company on a cloudy October day. They'll shove a cut of hoppers into the loading area at the left of the photo before working the boxcar on the passing track into the finished good loading dock across the tracks. 
Conrail 1956 shoves a cut of plastics hoppers into the Leder-Davies Plastics facility, while the owner of Strickland Propane watches. This photo was taken on Dave Lederhouse's "T-shaped" module with a tight radius industrial spur.
