Christmas is 10 weeks from today.  With that thought in mind, I can't help but think that it won't be very long before we start seeing that white stuff falling from the sky and piling up on our driveways.

So... lets post pictures of trains scenes both real and model that include SNOW.

I'll start.

That is a fabulous photo Jim. Winter is inevitable, might as well enjoy it’s beauty.

Below you will see my all time favorite snow scene depicting the Denver South Park & Pacific at Alpine Tunnel. This original painting was created by Phil Ronfor back in the 1958 as I recall. I also seem to recall it was created for M.C. Poor's "Denver South Park & Pacific Pictorial Supplement" hard bound book, which was published in 1959. The original caption for the painting reads thus:

          NIGHT TRAIN TO GUNNISON

A cold winter wind blows out of the west, and the full moon illuminates Alpine Pass in this mid-1880's scene. The night Pullman train for Gunnison, with oil head lamp and red markers aglow (at this time red markers on the front of the engine indicated a following section), pulls away from Alpine Tunnel station with the yellow squares from its coach windows flickering across the uneven surface of the snow. With quickening exhausts a Mason bogie, Denver South Park & Pacific 58, formerly the 14, named "Twin Lakes", passes the engine house as D. S. P. & P. 194, a Baldwin Consolidation, and the 53, another Mason bogie, enter after helping an eastbound freight from Pitkin to Alpine Tunnel.

A very derelict Reading 1187 at Strasburg a few years back...

On a happier note: here's GW 90 coupled to her Christmas train consist ready to depart

From the real to the model:

Lionel Holly-trolley and MOW speeder on the ready track of my Christmas village

 And as a bonus... (not O-gauge but there's snow!) G scale Aristocraft PRR A5 and plow burried under the heavy damp snow on my outdoor loop
