Put a couple Dallas cheerleaders next to the engine and no one will ever notice the engine. ;-)

Ain't that the truth! 

I took these today, as an experiment of shooting in poor weather.

Here's "Seven for Sunday"  

A city scene that is bygone. These photos are from a couple years back.

Yes. I'm in the process of making major changes to my layout which includes shrinking from about 35 x 13 feet to 12 x 13.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, what's the story on that?

thanks Ted, I wasn't having any luck with info...saw the pic on bay a person was selling copies...

                        a loaded coal train heads out of the future coal mining area....

Brian, That has an authentic feel to it, with that whole grimed-over atmosphere. You are really going to make something fantastic with that real estate, I can tell. Every railroad element looks realistic.

          thank you Frank.  I can't wait to get to work on the scenery, think that is going

to be the fun part....I will definitely be using photos of your layout for inspiration and ideas.

I'm stunned you would say that, Brian. What a kind and gracious thing to say to a fellow hobbyist. Thank you, most sincerely. I am sure we are all enjoying the wait to see the progression, but take your time; those super-creative, super-rewarding moments are short-lived, after all.

FrankM.

Every year, my wife and I buy one Christmas ornament. This is the one for this year.

Here's three for Wednesday.

A few from my recent work this past few weeks.

        Lee, you didn't happen to drop anything on the tracks taken pictures that day.....

                                                                                        just kiddin'

Funny you should mention that. My wife and I were actually sitting in another Cascades train in Tacoma, for several hours after this happened. We rode the trains as they're going to stop running along the Puget Sound and this was the day we chose. After 3 hours sitting in Tacoma in our train, we called a friend who came to pick us up and drove us home.

Is that a model or a real train?

WOW, briansilvermustang, did you take that real-life photo?

I took these shots 3 years apart on the same day of the year. The second one was taken tonight...

P51, I really like the area with the turn table. Couple of questions? How large is the turntable and approximate size of area your turntable sits on. I am in the process of designing a new layout and would like to add one. I have a 4 by 4ft  area of dead space to play with.  Thanks again,  your layout looks great. Nick T.
