IT'S TEAM TRACK TUESDAY 9/6/2016 Lets see your team track photos!!

  Going back through the 70 photo albums. Here's a delivery from 1-1-14...............

In HO, Walthers has offered a team track scene as part of its Cornerstone series. The kit features an overhead crane, ramp and conveyor, enabling the modeler to load and unload a wide variety of commodity types on his/her siding. Perhaps a similar kit in O scale would encourage more O gaugers to model team track operations.  As I mentioned in a previous thread, my home layout doesn't presently have a team track but Patrick's "Team Track Tuesday" is inspiring me to add one  

Bob

A 40' B&O boxcar containing some crated machinery has just been spotted on the "team track" by the CNJ local crew.  This was a "double delivery", as a load of anthracite coal from the Huber Colliery in Ashley, PA has also been spotted for unloading...

Here's one I never got around to posting last week......a better view of the Team track on my modules.....

Peter

A lot to handle for one man...

No entries this week. I am currently between layouts, so I am in the process of building a team track diorama so I can post some more pictures, hopefully next week.

Great photos and information guys!!  Thanks for all the great posts!!!  AND thanks to everyone who stopped by to take a look at whats on the team track.

Fred - great photos!!  Especially liked the string of refers and the Pabst sign!!

SIRT - Beautifully done outside braced wooden boxcar.  Is that a 60 footer?  

Looks like the last barrel is about to be unloaded and the crew can go home. I like the weeds around the wheel stops and the straw on the floor of the boxcar.

Also I like the weathering job on the truck!  Fabulous work as always!!!

Bob -  I'm thrilled that you are finding inspiration to build a team track from this thread!!!  Awesome!!!

Yes, cool HO scale stuff for the team track.  I agree perhaps one of the manufactures could do something similar in O gauge/scale.  

Joey A - wonderful story telling with your photos!!! I like the title "double delivery"!  I also liked the contrast of the two Sentinel B&O boxcars.   Great weathering job as we know your work to always be!!!

Peter - nothing like a long team track!!  I love it!!!  The big hook is busy doing the heavy lifting too!!! I'd love to see your club layout in action someday!!

Jay Jay - very nice scene with the Seaboard boxcar trumpeting "The Route of The Robert E. Lee"!!!  Is that a Dodge truck on the right?

Mark Diff - thanks for checking in!  Looking forward to pics of your team track diorama!!!  

Have a great week everyone!!  I hope to see you all next Tuesday on

THE TEAM TRACK !!!

Trumptrain, that's a model of a Diamond T620 in C&NW livery, by Corgi.
