Pics For Pops(rr)

Thank you for sharing! Very nice shots... love the Deco overpass... makes the wheels start turning about my Layout.

Nice motive power too...

Rich,

This is a very nice layout. I am sure Bill will appreciate the pictures and get some ideas from them.

Alan Graziano

Nice job Rich. 

Thanks guys.

Can somebody tell Popsrr these are here.

- RICH

Very nice

THANKS,ALEX

"POPS, the pics are here!!"

You have to yell.

Very nice, Rich.

Rich WOW WONDERFUL PICTURES. You have a great line up of GTW EQUIPMENT.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Rich....wonderful pictures and narrative!

Alan

Great layout and scenes. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Rich!  I must have missed this thread when it first appeared.  I am glad Popsrr finally discovered it and revived the thread.  A really nice layout and some awesome pictures.  Do you happen to have any more pictures of the troop train shown in the background of one of the pictures?  If so, it would be great to see them!

Thanks and happy railroading,

Don

This Layout is in Grand Rapids, Michigan this weekend. Rich was there to operate it, so he was too busy to talk. Looks sturdy. I wonder how well the Atlas O Grand Trunk Western SD40 functions since it was on a siding.

Andrew

Andrew, Did they have a lot of people there? Did you see any intersting items? Any pictures??

Rich Many thanks again for all the great pictures you posted.

The National Train show in Grand Rapids was packed.

The amazing MTH GE Hybrid Evolution diesel was shown with all the side lights working.

The new Williams by Bachmann GP30 was shown running in place, it sounded and looked great in person.

There were very few O Gauge layouts.

I was so busy running around looking at everything and looking for things that I missed purchasing earlier that I did not take any photos.

Any O gauge or O Scale model of the newly repainted Green Saskatchewan Cylindrical Hoppers are supposed to be licenced by the model making company through the Pacific West guys in Canada.

The scenery on the HO Scale layouts was amazing.

Andrew 

Andrew, Thanks for the reply.

What did you find to buy? Were they selling those Green cars you mentioned?

I figured the show would not have a lot of "O" and probably was aimed more at HO.

The Saskatchewan cars are limited edition HO and N scale available by reservation only.

Andrew

Andrew were they asking much for the HO Green ones?

Nice job, Rich.

Rich....GREAT photos! Thanks for posting them!  

Ralph, That Rich has a GREAT selevtion of CN/GYW. I love his grain trains that he does also.

Rich this is for you!!!

Hi Pops!

i haven't been here on the Forum for a while. WAY too busy! I did take a few shots at the National NMRA SHow in Grand Rapids in August. I'll see if I can post them this week.

Thanks for posting your pics as well. You officially have the most unique GTW equipment that ever ran the rails! Wish I had been able to buy some of those GP40's when they were around!

- RICH

Rich, Thanks for thinking of me and your NMRA pictures. I will enjoy seeing them for sure!!!!!!!

Thanks for the comments on my fleet of CN/GTW MOTIVE POWER.

It seems like we all get very busy in our day to day schedules. I am working on the design of a new 12 stall Multi level Diesel Facility 48"x88" for my fleet of Modern Diesels. It seems I can get so wraped up in the design that I am not aware of a lot of other things going on around me. Getting very close to the finishing touches on Colors and materials.

I will have to share pictures of the drawings soon.

Rich, I saw this and thought you might like a little bit of history.

5936 is one out of a group of ex-GTW SD40-2's to be brought out of storage and reactivated it is now the last SD40-2 to wear the Blue and Orange as the 5937 was repainted a few weeks before. Here it sits outside of F building waiting to be serviced.
