Hot Water hosted a "Run Beer, Drink Trains" session on Saturday with all but one active participant. The Sasquatch, risking banishment from the cheeze, beer, and brat state, elected to drink water.
Here are some photos of a brand new Lionel B&O EM-1 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone that I just finished weathering for a customer.

Very cool Jerry!!!! Been way to long since we have seen your work!!
Well done!
Nice looking engine Jerry. And great layout in which to take photos. BF
Good Food + Good Friends = Great Time.
Thanks Jack
Scenery, ballast, structures, and locomotive all look real.
Really nice!

With the right camera angle and certain lighting.. this could easily pass for a real train shot!
Excellent......great job.
Jerry...I have always felt that you do a fantastic job of making a locomotive look real...the weathering jobs you do are just right. AND....the pictures couldn't have been any better than taking them on Hot Water's layout....a world class act for sure!
Thanks,
Alan
Hi gnnpnut,
I'm actually trying to find more photos of Hot Waters, Central Connecting Railroad, which I've recently discovered in Great Layout Adventures 8. After viewing the DVD multiple times, along with the article in OGR, plus studying your photos on the forum, it has inspired me to rethink the planning of my RR. I originally reached out to Hot Water, and he pointed me in your direction. I've always wanted to have an engine facility with a turntable and roundhouse. With a little tweaking, I think Hot Waters track plan could work for me. I like the balance of realism, scenery and activity. It has an interesting track plan for just running and switching, without being overcrowded with a lot of track. If I'm not mistaken, I believe you also helped in the development of the plan.
I originally saw the layout on ebay of the EM-1 above, which sparked my interest, and started my search. By any chance would have other photos Hot Waters layout that you'd be willing to share?
Thank you,

Are you sure that LJ was really there? If he was drinking water rather then beer I would think that it was an imposter.
Beautiful job!
Very nice!

I like that EM-1! Adds a touch of class to Hot Water's RR.

Actually, the CB&Q steam power is, by far,the classiest!

Add a couple of O-1a mikados into the scene, and I'd agree with you.

Add a couple of O-1a mikados into the scene, and I'd agree with you. You Q nuts will probably see those right around when I see 3 rail versions of Northern Pacific W3s and W-5s.
We of course need more hudsons, northerns, challengers, and Big Boys.

Dreadful partisanship there
