Indeed it was, but those were over two days. That's not all the trains I caught, either. The BNSF/UP/Amtk main through here has well over 20 trains a day normally

Nice pictures, Lee!

More shots, but O scale this time...

For today: " On this beautiful fall day sometime in the 1950s as snow adorns the mountain tops and beach goers frolic in the water and the shore below  ...unnoticeably a N&W Y6b takes the bridge."

Sun rise on the LCN&J.

Excellent photographs, Trainman1225!!  It’s been too long since we were there!

For today:  " The Docksider and Plymouth switchers .... small and mighty!"

Trumptrain, I have always liked the dockside Switchers, wishing one with TMCC could be produced, very nice detailing. Cool scene as always. Also the Plymouth Switchers are a unique design, and I would like one with TMCC to. Small Switchers are fun to run. A great work scene. Today, I’m riding on the George Bush train I made up just for Fun. Have a happy Thursday Everyone.  

Thanks so much Larry! Since this photo was taken, I've added more weathering to the Dockside.   I agree Docksiders are neat little engines.  I don't know if they can hold all the components for TMCC.  I do agree TMCC or Proto sound 3 would make these little locos more interesting.   Btw -  You have a fabulous layout

For today:  " Just another weekday morning in downtown Patsburg."  

Trumptrain, Patsburg looks to be a really great community with lots of fun activities and a great railroad town. Your scenic detailing is so colorful, and I can see why one likes to ride a bike all over town. Keep posting those wonderful scenes, very interesting. Soon I be back to working on my layout once yard work comes to a halt. Happy Railroading Everyone

Morning all, What great photos of all your wonderful layouts! Your photos are what help inspire me to keep moving forward! Thank you !

One of the very few 'modern' trucks on Stoney Creek stops at the Buladeen depot for a load from a boxcar on the ET&WNC. With his ever-present 'A' gas ration card on the windshield, this will probably be the only trip the driver makes for a while.

In the background, a soldier sees his ride show up, as his 48 hour pass is over.

It's late summer, 1943, in eastern Tennessee...

For today:  " A view from my bike on Sunday afternoon."

How many times I watched the B&O from my bicycle!

Me too Mark.  Those were the days!  

For today:  " Monday morning at the locomotive terminal."

Blustery November Sunday BNSF Eola, Il, parked engines resting before a new week.

A very hungry racoon is not happy with rationing and recycling during WW2, as it means very little good things to scavenge from the outside trash can at the Buladeen, TN depot platform...

A Christmas musical performance at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Evening with an unexpected guest gorilla from the next-door zoo joining in on the tuba  while another of his friends sneaks down the tree limb of the white Birch tree to freedom.

Below, the gorilla is diligently practicing for his debut Christmas performance at the Cathedral this holiday season.

Lee, come on give the little guy something! Look at him, he is just skin and bones~ LOL

Randy, just wonderful, I bet it was a great concert! I hope the zoo keeper doesnt get in to much trouble!
