Ray. Thank you. 🤝

A work in progress.

Yes, it's really a tugboat (for moving ships around) rather than a tow boat (which pushes "tows" of barges, and does not "tow" them), but I haven't built my tow boat yet. Tug is a slightly modified, mostly repainted, and decaled Hobby Lobby "novelty display" item. If you look and think a bit, some of these can be made presentable. The barge is crude and from a friend's former layout; I like it anyway. Will be improved.

The Lionel L&N USRA 4-8-2 (my lettering) is passing by the barge in one of the bayous flowing into the Mobile River. 

Bridge tender's tower, '58 Plymouth and gator friend. The problem with fake bayous is that you have to dust them every so often, unlike the real thing. I forgot.

Sorry about the quality. I took these pics with a one-meg-a-pix-el  digicam.

Lew, circa ‘93 had a Kodak DC40, .38 megapixel, took 756x504 jpegs.  Thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 Very cool, I see the potential.  Nice looking scene'... I had a 1959 Plymouth Belvedere, same light blue as that 58 in your pic'... was a great running car'...

Nice shot............is that water tank scratched?

PER management recently acquired this retired Pennsy business car so after switching out it's trucks it was put to work. This gives an opportunity for  much-needed refurbishment of the retired Golden State lounge car. The PRR car must have been on a club layout for years and run a million miles as the wheel-treads had grooves worn in them.

Great shot, Brian - road many an M7 on the Metro North Harlem line from Goldens Bridge up in northern Westchester to Grand Central in my final years of working (and still take it occasionally when I head into the city).
