Looking ahead to Farmer's Market and Flea Market season...

So after saying in another post that I don't get too hung up on scale, I realized my saw-horses and flea market tables were WAAAAY too big.  So yesterday and today, between more productive activities, I made new saw horses and narrowed the tables.  Above is BEFORE... below is AFTER...

looks like a few little people should be moved towards background next for forced perspective.

Love this picture.

For today: " The Little Engine that Can ... and Does!"

The forklift finally showed up to unload this guy!

Great Photos everyone, I haven't been in the train room for a week now and it sucks. But all of your photos sure make up for a little of that just being able to see what others have going on!

Brad great job on the saw horses and tables!

Paul, I see the forklift guy there, but when is the mechanic showing up? LOL

Mike, he's just letting the engine cool...overheating a bit and probably needs a new thermostat?

Paul, maybe it just needs a little water and the hot brunet from the Chevy dealer!

So I know its not much and I am fine with that as today was the first time in the train room for over a week. So I did what I said I was going to do on another thread today, I ran trains and watched NASCAR. Or I should say I ran trains after I changed out traction tires on my ES44AC. I also move my switcher around to the upper level.

Good to hear you are back in the train room Mike.

When I get doing other things for awhile I seem to get lost until I get back to my layout room to get back on the job.  😉

I try not to get to excited as I know the CEO has things for me to do. But I do plan on cleaning up the wiring under the layout then working on trying to make some flats. I also have a Atlas signal track tower on its way that I am going to have to work in soon!   For now I know there will always be something in the train room for me to do! LOL

For today: "Post war delight!"

Took this pic the other day on the layout

Another post war delight.   From 60 odd years ago .     Salvaged , put back together and still able to ding ding. 🛎

There is something about O scale (likely because it’s significantly larger than ho or definitely n), that makes it so photogenic. This looks real, so great job,

Thanks for the complement  CSXcellent. I agree all skill is so much easier for me to work in and the details you can actually see.

Here’s another pic I took on the layout the other day

For today: " 1950s remembrance .... another Postwar Delight... Train Master meets 2065 Hudson with postwar Santa Fe passenger cars in tow."

ALLL ABOOOOAARD !

Lee, I like that White Mustang gas job tractor!

Paul. Thanks I like them too my dad drove one in the early 60s he said when they would backfire at night it would light the whole highway up.

Camping season can't be too far away...!

Morning guys, great photos by all! Paul I guess your going camping, if it were me I think I would wait till it got a little warmer!

Patrick, wonderful picture of all the folks waiting on the platform!

Larry, You did it! Your the man, I love the BNSF engines, but one day I still have to get a Santa Fe and steam engine for the layout!

Ted, Great looking Ford, Not a bad looking model either! LOL

Ted that photo shoot sold more pick ups than all the Henrys combined.
