a picture a day....

Lew, thanks for the idea! I guess anything heading east would take us threw the Rockies from where I live!

Coach Joe, you are so right, Pat, Trumptrain is always Up-Beat, now we know why, he’s probably in a band/orchestra and Yes, Music makes one happy. Great comment. It’s Saturday, the day after Christmas 2020, and I’m sure most of our readers heard the news of a Huge Explosion happening in Downtown (on 2nd Street) Nashville Tennessee, 45 minutes from my home in Clarksville. Wow, it’s terrible and there were lots of damages, Good news though, no known fatalities, just several folks shook up. It does still affect our phone service. Please be in Prayer for Music City, there’s many unanswered questions as the FBI is now involved. Now, everyone have a great weekend and a very Happy New Year.

That’s too close Larry. Thank God you and yours are safe. Prayers for all those hurt, injured or affected.

Starting the New Year's celebration early

Thank you Don McErlean, this is a bad situation and you can see it on CNN News and it’s not Fake. There’s no 911 for many of us now, nor can we call one another. I’m sure that Gods at work as many kind and hard working people are putting this puzzle/maze of issues back together. Our First Responders are real Heroes. We did not feel this explosion where I live, however I turn on our TV every morning at 6:50 to get set for Good Morning America, which did not show yesterday, it was all do to the horrible hate explosion. Music City will survive this tragedy, it’s just made Christmas hard on many great folks. Praise the Lord, his mighty hand will be with us, now and forever. Happy Railroading Everyone.

Amen, Larry!

To the many members that post on this thread'  I just want to say this'...

And the best in the new year'.. And THANK YOU for posting your wonderful photos'..🌲🎅🏻

Thank YOU Quarter-Gauger for this.  Most of us are older, grew up well before 'Politically Correct' reared it's ugly head'. Our trains are and always have been associated with CHRISTMAS (and Hanukah) -  not just any 'holiday'. After this strange and unusual year almost passed, let's take back the culture and stand up for model RailRoading and the American traditions we all remember, especially this time of year!  Happy New Year everyone and God bless you and your families.   :-)

Travel the HI-LEVEL Santa Fe way! El Capitan!

Capetrainman - Great photo!   If I were car shopping that 63 Corvette Stingray, in foreground, would be my choice.

Had to check, thought it was a Desoto but yes a Chrysler 300

Great shot Paul'... I'll take the Blond'....😀👱🏻‍♀️

Ted...I'll take two and the yellow convertible!  Patrick, you can never go wrong with a '63 split wing coupe...might be a little tight on room on certain occasions though?

Anyone for Ford's or Merc's?
