Great scene (as usual)! Who makes that brick station?

It was handmade by a friend, now deceased, from whom I bought it many years ago.

I'm glad you liked the scene. Thank you for saying so.

Here are some Western Front Ends

Sorry got my days mixed up, retirement brain freeze@!%÷×+

Took a tour of Union Station K C MO yesterday.

Union Station KC MO mid 1930's.  For a 2 year period these 2 trains arrived and departed daily from KCMO. 

Here is a Marx 999 converted into a cab forward.

Couple of diesels for ya. maybe these would have been seen in the same year. PRR #9745 Baldwin RF-16 retired in 1966, LV #409 Alco c420 built 1964.

FEF for today.

I'm liking this Atlas O C&O GP9 much better now that I had the original EOB cruise replaced with ERR Cruise Commander. A mucho superior product IMHO.

Happy Easter, Passover.

SHARK BAY RAILROAD ALCO HH660 #150 "Anchor".

I've  been lerking and have been enjoying the posts. Unfortunately feels like a century since Ive touched my layout. So I post this since I coordinated the vehicle and display support for a local communities Armed Force day event. Yes Humvee is mine. 

My son’s engine, Porter 0-4-0 tank at Roaring Camp. 

My LC+ Jersey Central Pacific on Melgar's beautiful bridge  and layout 2 weeks ago:

We had fun that day.

WP, I love the Porter 0-4-0 saddle tanker! And the Dodge pickup, too! It looks like a 1941.

Norfolk Southern Executive Train Power.

Three Pennsylvania RR F3s purchased on a closeout sale and repainted/redecorated as NS.  I read somewhere(?) that Norfolk Southern Shops re-engineered the real Engines from freight for passenger running speed, and installed steam generators. Perhaps someone has better info.

I didn't take this picture but it is easily one of my favorites of the N&W #611.

FEF 4/6/18

 

Ted, thanks for the pic of the UP 9000.  An interesting and unusual engine with 12-drivers on six fixed axles. 

I have the MTH version with operating Gresley Valve Gear.

Good evening, this a Pennsy M1A waiting for the commuter train to pass on the outer track crossing over to the inner track on a cold morning.

Wanted to throw that in there before someone notice that the points on the switch is position in the diverging direction.

Have a good evening !!!!!

Sam;

Can't count the number of times I switched between the 6, M, N, and R subway lines at Canal Street over the years, but never knew I could pick up the Southern there    Sorry... couldn't resist!!!
