IT's TEAM TRACK TUESDAY!!!! 1/30/2018 edition. SHARE YOUR TEAM TRACK PHOTOS HERE!!

That's a nice produce truck Patrick. That produce must have been grown way south of the border. 

Well, this week we're back in the saddle on the team track, so to speak, with the arrival of concrete and cement mix products on there way to the home builders of that new suburban housing complex...

It's always hay season on the East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Railroad, on my layout...

Lee, that is an outstanding picture!

                            activity going on at various team tracks at Clem's...

Thanks, Mark!

It's one of the few times I took a shot specifically for a thread on this forum. I don't really 'use' the two ramps I have and one is directly behind a sheet of plexiglass (where the spur is within an inch of the edge of the layout, something I did for a structure I later decided not to use after all), so this is the only one, "out in the open".

Happy Team Track Tuesday!

Patrick, Mark, Brian (with an honorable mention to Clem), and Lee- great pix from everyone.

Patrick and Mark- I'm barely able to keep up with different trains to put on my TT's each week- you guys have both cornered the market of scenic accessories for your posts. Amazing!

Some local action but in the 1:1 world this week. I like to find shots of local activity, which is tough sometimes when the railroad in your area is primarily a commuter line. The LIRR has a long history of moving freight though.
I found a couple of shots of everyone's favorite transformer car in a few different locations on the Island.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

This one was heading to Con Ed c.1963

Port Washington NY Team Track

Wellwood Team Track

RGS 7 was pressed into service this week as the Truck union went on strike

Milk, ice, lumber:

And that guy is one cool dude!

I bet there is someone in the OGR On- Line Forum that looks like that cool dude in the post immediately above. Who is it?

Thanks Mark!  Your point of origin was close ... Actually the produce came all the way from southern CA. ...  All in all a 48 hour trip:  first over the Santa Fe ( east express perishable train )  to Chicago where it was handed off to the B&O ( east express perishable ).   Then the B&O to Patsburg, Maryland where the reffer was cut out and immediately coupled to a B&O SW 9 switcher which set it out on  team track 2.  

I purchased the produce truck last fall at York.  Bought from Santana Miniatures.   Got to keep the veggies and fruit cool

Lee - absolutely fabulous photo!!!!  WOW!!!  I love the ramp at the end of the team track!!  A team track in a rural location.  Convincingly realistic scene!  The entire photo is a work of art!! BRAVO!!

Great team track photos guys!!

Mark - really great looking scene with lots of energy!  Did you make the Sakrete Mortar Mix etc. bags? 

Lee - in a word " AWESOME"!!  It's an honor that you took that wonderful photo for this thread!!  Please show us more

Brain - Lots of team track action in your photos!  Love the early 20th century team track photo of the well car with what looks to be a generator.  

RSJB18 - Thanks for the compliment!  Love those Schnable cars! It certainly will take an entire team to unload those babies!

Tim - nice galloping goose!

Arnold - wonderful photos of your team track!  Ice, milk, and lumber are staples of the team track.  I really like your fork lift scene!!  Don't who that cool dude is sitting on the milk platform.  It must be Rich Melvin!

Thanks everyone for stopping by the team track to take a gander of the goings on.  Thanks also to all those who posted.  See ya next Tuesday on the TEAM TRACK!  Have a wonderfully creative week!!

Patrick asked..."Mark - really great looking scene with lots of energy!  Did you make the Sakrete Mortar Mix etc. bags? "

Thanks Patrick, yes i made these, using some scrap wood I had laying around. Unfortunately, the bags are a wee bit too big. But I think they look pretty good anyway.

Good job Mark! They look great!  They are the large quantity bags which are only sold to contractors
