Let’s see some Fun/Silly/Fanciful things around the Layout

Here is a Saw Dust burner.  Almost all Saw Mills had a Saw Dust Burner to dispose of Saw dust by burning, mostly before the 1950s.  Most model Saw Mills like the Lionel 464 do not have Saw Dust Burners.

Sawdust can be transported from the Saw Mill to the Sawdust Burner is several ways,  A conveyor belt or screw can be used as well as a pneumatic pipe is another way.  Mine uses a MAC covered belt conveyor.

Would a scene from The Godfather be considered “Fun”?

Trump Tower in the town of Pooh Corner.  This is the rare 445 tower without a mechanism.  Pooh Corner has a library named after A. A. Milne, father of Christopher Milne.

A pair of Hudsons.  Gilbert O scale 570 Hudson from 1940 (restored) and Lionel 1-700E Hudson from 1990.

Well its getting near Halloween and so the lovely couple pictured below are waiting to board their Amtrak train back home.  They have been "camping" out recently, sleeping on (or under) the ground and are looking forward to slipping into a warm comfortable bed and getting a start on the spooky season.

Best wishes

This is very subtle.  It's a current Chicago bus stop sign for a real route.

Except that the CTA's Central Avenue bus runs north-south.  This route runs east-west.  It's the trolley bus line at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union Illinois.
