@P51 Is the NKP #190 running? 

Nope, not yet.

I've heard that Doyle has fired up the motor, but a lot of things aren't connected. It can't move under its own power, yet. Like many other train fans, I'm looking forward to the day when I can see this thing moving under its own power.

Brian:  Thank you for all your photos.  The volume and variety of train related photos you have posted can't be matched. The time and effort you put into giving us a glimpse of railroadiana and train photos is incredible. If someone hasn't seen a photo of their favorite railroad aspect, they simply haven't been paying attention.  Thank you. TW

Thank you for your kind words, Ted .  I really enjoy looking at pretty much anything train related, and like to share the many different things that I run across  while looking. Brian

Brian,

I agree with Ted, that your really do give a cross section of trains, model, prototype, and railroadiana!  I hit "like' on a lot of them, but I want to give you credit for sharing so very much!  Thank you!!

Oh boy !!    My favorite train to ride 

thank you Mark. I am glad you like all the different variety of train related material that I stumble across in my train looking........much more to come, as there is a lot of neat train stuff to see in this world  ....Brian

If you like Brians train photos, you ought to see his house and yard. Simply fantastic !! what he can do with Craigs list and old paint spray cans, is amazing.

Clem and Brian, So I can see I am missing out living over here in Central Western Pennsylvania!  

I'm glad we are on this Forum!  

Not train related, but we had THREE deer in the back yard when I got home tonight!

Here is one for today.

Just took these shots with my cell. I put a flashlight inside the structure to see what effects I could get. It turned out decent, and I'm going to experiment more with this.

Patsburg has the busiest team track in America!

Great photos, great layout!

Boy, that brings back chilling memories. I rode in HETs (top photo) often on active duty and had a very small hand in the development of the Stryker vehicles, as I was in what eventually became the first Stryker Brigade in the Army, during a transition from heavy mech. I was involved in some of the tests where we picked the interim vehicle before the Stryker design was done, and our experiments had influence over the design to a degree of the vehicle you see on the yellow flats above.

The upper and lower photos, I've seen many times. The center one, I hadn't seen that in a long time. I can't tell the year on the carrier's license plate and the details aren't crisp enough to tell if these jeeps are going to surplus or simply being delivered somewhere without a railhead, or delivered piecemeal.

Man-o-man that looks dangerous, almost silly. What could have been the possible purpose of such a stunt?

P.S. If we modeled that on a layout, most folks, including myself, would say that it was too fantastical and unrealistic. Right,. folks?

If you watch the video, it will demonstrate the reason this system is used.  The demonstration occurs at 3:00 minutes into the video if you want to fast forward to it.  Kinda clever really.

Thanks for the heads-up, TedW. One doesn't see that every day in life, huh. I'm glad it's automated.

Thanks for the further (TedW's suggestion helped, too) education on the subject, Brainsilvermustang, with those photos.

And a WOW from me. Beautiful, Erik !!

Erik, thanks for letting us know the pictures were from Chama.  Saves me the trouble of trying to figure out if they're pictures of the real thing or your models.
