Sunday Scenic Showcase...10-12-2014..

Looks great Alan!!

Couple of simple and basic B&O rides for B.W.

Hi Alan • Great Roundhouse on the layout. Look forward to seeing the weathering. 

• Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Line in Michigan

I was running my G5 10 wheelers by Lionel yesterday. The unit closest is the Legacy version and the unit on the inside track is the older TMCC version. The Legacy engine is smoother and definitely puts out more smoke. This is the first time I had them side by Side and notice the difference in the Headlights. Did the G5's have both headlight configurations?

Alan nice engine house cant wait to see the finished product and agree everyone have a safe trip to York. (not able to attend as work gets in the way as it does every so often, but is pays the bills and funds the train hobby)

  this is the Korber grain silo lightly weathered

Nice pictures everyone!

here is my finished wooden cable reel.

Alan,

That is a nice start the the showcase.

Steve,

Your detailing of these cars is fantastic.

LI Steve,

Nice pictures of the layout.

Alex,

Great job on the grain silos.

AG,

Great job on the spool. It looks like it took a lot of time to build. The detail is outstanding.

Here are a couple of pictures of two 3 stall Korber roundhouses I am constructing. This is my favorite Korber kit to build.

Steve,

In this case I am building them individually. I have constructed these kits  as 6 stalls and up to 9 stalls.

Hi Guys,

Nice work, and thanks for sharing.

Here are some items I have been working on to launch products at the York TCA meet this week.

We have 2 new background buildings that include roof top signs.

We also did a variety of roof top signs to be used separately, and an updated version of the  916 power plant.

Rich, is there a prototype model for this? It looks a lot like the Narragansett Power Plant in Providence, RI.

Great photo once again!  I won't be going to your, but I second your sentiment on having a safe trip.  I for one am waiting with baited breath for all the good reports on the week at York!!

Alan, That's a Wow, a really nice looking Roundhouse area. Thanks for posting and I look forward to seeing your weathering process. Have a good time at YORK. 

Thanks Larry....sure wish you were coming to York!!

Mark...thanks again for the very nice comments!  Hey...so close to York and you aren't going...???!!!....

Alan,

Our younger daughter's wedding was this weekend, and I had to get money out of savings twice.  Maybe I can go in the spring. 

Mark.....What is a "savings"...??? 

Congrats on your Daughter's wedding...!!

Alan

I don't know what savings is any more!!    Trouble is I still have her older sister at home! 

Thanks!!

Great pics!

Peter

Great looking roundhouse Alan. 

Rich - Love the new background buildings.  Just what I have been looking for for an area behind my Union Station.

Thanks David....hey....I would like to meet you at York if we haven't already....can't remember!! (old age)...

Alan

Congratulations Mark on your Daughter's wedding. Best wishes to the happy couple.

Thank you, Brian!,

Lately I have taken to running my lovely little Premier 2-8-0 on my upper "BEEPWorld" loop, the rule there being nothing longer than a BEEP.  It takes creative interpretation of the rule for it to pass the test (I ignore the front coupler) but it is the best runner on the loop, it has cruise so it chugs along nicely, unlike BEEPS, etc., and the only other steamers than fits the criteria (Lionel 0-4-0 shifter or docksider switcher) which slow going up the hill and jackrabbit going down.  It's pulling a train of traditional cars shortened to meet the rule, too, and a Bobber caboose.

We did meet i think last year and maybe the year before, can't remember (really old age)

I am not certain of the prototype of the power plant, could be a few I suspect.  This is a long time Korber model that I am not sure of the origin of, but a great looking model none the less.

Art, thanks for the comments, yes this would blend nicely in to your rail empire.

Thanks Rich for answering my question. Your power plant is a dead ringer for the one I described.

David...that is the neat thing about old age, you get to meet the same people each year for the first time...LOL!!!...
