Front End Friday

my contribution to Front End Friday......

Here's my contribution.

What a great variety of front ends Pat!!!

Instructive photo, TEDW. The ballast - the amount of it , size of it, and its placement; the grass; the water. Nice lesson from the real RR world for modeling.

Cool.

Posted on another thread but it works here too!

This is the only train video I have on my school laptop, so it works I guess

Here is the front end of my Lionel PRR HH1 (Y3) on the National Capital Trackers' layout at Kids Fest in Fairfax last weekend.

This week I have several new pictures of the front end of my trains.  I'm in the process of selling most of my traditional sized trains and took these shots as part of the For Sale or Trade posts.  Since I've got them, here they are:

K-Line K3386-1396 4-6-2 in SR Ps-4 Crescent Limited colors

K-Line K2780-4892 PRR GG1

Lionel 6-8352 (powered) and 6-8355 (non-powered w/horn) SF GP-20 set

Lionel 6-18352 SP MU w/display

FEF for 10/13/17  Friday the 13th   

MTH did not make it this way; new paint job/weathering, proper GM&O scratch built nose and light bezel, "hand-built" nose decal (so many cuts, so little time - but nobody makes this). It started out as a MILW unit with 2 lights.

Wore me out - so much so that I haven't wanted to open it up again to lose the PS1 and install the ERR Cruise Commander and Alco Railsounds. And that's the easy part. But, soon.

November worries Mr Moons on. It's been a long couple of weeks and pics of your layout always brings on a smile.

Thanks, Suzukovich, I much appreciate the approval and very kind words.
