Happy Birthday America!

Very nice Frank!          This one has my vote.

Ditto!

- Clean layout

- Not too many colors

- Sharp lines and markings

- Informative without an in your face look like: "1776", "Western Maryland", etc.

- Would have easily accepted as a major-market available product

Happy Independence Day to you as well.  Let us pray that we can have another 238 years as a nation where liberty is celebrated!

 I always enjoy your paint schemes.  Do you actually paint any locomotives in your designs?

I keep hoping that someone would offer a model of NS's engine they painted to honor the US veterans.

"HAPPY 4th. of JULY!"

Happy 4th of July!

Here is my idea of what the NS 1776 should look like. I sent this to the NS Corp office back in 2012. In my email I suggested that the NS honor our Veterans.

I didn't get the "are" Veterans, I guess you meant "our", and that's a great idea!  I'd love to see that.

And speaking of Happy Birthday America, occupying a special place on my layout this weekend is this sign in a Lionel #310 billboard frame:

And it’s also my wife’s birthday today!

Best regards,
