Model Railroading > Dr. Who takes the Northern Pacific

Dr. Who has been invited to ride with President McFarland of the NP on the office car Yellowstone River  He's talking to the porter convincing him that it's ok for his dog, Lucky, to ride along.

Last weekend I spent the price of a brass locomotive to purchase some lenses and other equipment for my Canon.  I still don't have depth of field quite right but I'm working on it!

The Tardis is a brass kit for a London Police Box that I purchased probably 30 years ago when I was on business in London.  I painted it Floquil ATSF blue and picked out the lettering with a fine brush.  In those days Dr. Who had not achieved the following that he has today.

Mind, you can never tell where the Tardis might be on the layout as it moves around.

Stunning work love the setter!

Beautiful piece of rolling stock.

Very nice scene, regardless of the Tardis' presence.

That's the Hornby Police Box right? Because it does looks a little too big on the outside.

I was thinking it looks more like a Cockerspaniel.

Very nice, love the 56 Belair with the front right wheel off the deck. Dog looks like a bloodhound/Springer mix.

Someone pointed out a long time ago that photos are a great way to critique a model.

In this one, the platform needs something to firmly connect it to the ground, the car is off the pavement, and of course the business car could use an interior.

Thanks all for looking!

If we're going to get technical, that's a 55 Chevy BelAir. Great scene at any rate. Thanks for sharing.

Big Timber was my hometown. Love the depot!

The good Dr. Looks like James J. Hill.  Maybe he's checking on how the NP does it.

I think it's Langley Models. I have the same one somewhere...

The dog needs to be a bit more... metal.

If we're going to be technical, it's a TARDIS, and the main character in the show DOCTOR WHO is the Doctor.
