TedW, you did a beautiful job on the SP 7070. I saw it in person in the California RailRoad museum in Sacramento. I lives in the back shop with a lot of other wonderful equipment. Don

Photos of my 2065 pulling a troop train for Memorial Day. Consist is a Lionel B&O boxcar from the old Target exclusive set, a Railking B&O combine and a Lionel Utah Beach add on baby Madison  coach for the 2000 troop train set. I unfortunately don’t own the set just the coach car.  

There's a work train on the bar.

Patrick, your personal record has been awarded ten merits for your high people and vehicles to trains ratio and for moving your people and vehicles frequently to keep the scenes changing.  (And for having more fun than anyone else with your little people and vehicles.)

Johan there sure is a lot of interesting railroad equipment in and around Porvoo.  The roundhouse over on Switcher Saturday is also pretty nice.

Well, there are no snowsheds or cab-forwards on the Southern Ry (it's not an SP photo.)

Correct however, it is so the crew can breath through the many tunnels on the Southern's Rat Hole Division.  The air supply is tapped off the main reservoir.

Thanks so very much Tom.   I get a kick out of moving things around on the layout.  I like to keep scenes fresh .... just like real life .... all things change ... the only permanence is impermanence.  I do have one heck of a lot of fun too.
