@RSJB18-Thanks for the info on your switcher.  That looks like it would work well on my tight radius layout so I will keep a lookout for one. @BAR GP7 #63-Great picture, framed by the opening, neat! @Sitka - like your "sunny" backlit pictures, the K4 is handsome in the sun and you can see the keystone on the boiler front.  I have to say that I also noticed a Marx news stand on your passenger platform.  I love to see these old accessories find new uses.  @Fendermain- thank you for your comment on my collection and for the information on the clock.  I would not have guessed MTH but now I will surely keep an eye out for one being offered.

Best wishes for everyone to enjoy the weekend.  Happy Holiday season

@Sitka wonderful photos with all the trees, It looks very inviting!

@BAR GP7 #63 Johan, outstanding picture, it is so cool! Looks like you're looking through walking areas around a town store or something!

Great photos everyone! I have no FEF as all my engines are packed up while I am in the process of the layout REDO!

Mike,

Thank you Sir. 🤝

I guess this dispels the myth of Santa only traveling by sleigh ! 

Good looking little people Donald.

Looks like Santa might be negotiating a "last-minute" large lot coal purchase...

The crew enjoys working the night shift this time of the year.  Everyone is friendly, the winter scenery is great, and the firebox is keeping them warm.

Just in time to show off the newest engine.

Passengers going home for Christmas

Sorry for this late FEF post, but I was away the last few days.

On the Warren family 2022 Christmas layout, my 385E:

Happy FEF and Merry Christmas all! Beginning to get settled in at my new home. Preparing to frame up the basement and then on to building my layout. ATSF 699 sits eagerly awaiting to get moving again once the basement walls are finished.☺️

The storm has hit and its time to clear the tracks!  

Happy FEF!

                 EL's testing out reworked curves this week...

Happy FEF!  Postwar Hudson 2046.
