Tail End Tuesday

Tom and Patrick each of you have provided us with a couple of fine tail ends.

Here’s my tail ends for this Tuesday

Here is my tails, pick one. Good news is I will be able to use the photos again for front end friday.

Tail end meets front end...

Tailends for this fine Tuesday!

Very nice tail ends. I especially liked Lee’s “woody”, and Don’s over and under shot on a classic layout. I have a nice set of those classic passenger cars.

beardog49, that looks unique!

Tom and Patrick, realistic shots of the tail ends!

Thanks for the kind words Artie! I've tried to capture a "classic" look on my layout.

Here's a color version of the same shot. The "classic" 726 is a modern LionChief remake, but the cars are the real deal.

Well I am a day late, but here is a tail end shot of my new ATSF Marx Caboose made between '52-'59

Two older American Flyer tail ends...a American Flyer "champion" train from 1928-1935 but parlor car shown made from '31-'32)

American Flyer enameled passenger train from the late 30's (1939 for the cars)

Well, since its "tail end Tuesday" I guess I can be the tail end and a day late!

Here’s today’s Tail End. I guess it’s the way you look at it.

I added battery powered marker lamps to a G scale Piko caboose, with an on/off switch underneath. Looks great at night!

I think this is the third or fourth tail end tuesday I have posted while looking out the window seeing everything obliterated

by the smoke from the california wildfires. Don't think we will get a summer this year.

Anyway, here are my tails.

A flyer cast aluminum zephyr, a tinplate zephyr, and another tinplate zephyr that someone has modified to

look like an aluminum zephyr. Good job actually. If you look he drilled out the sides of the added marker

lights so you could see them from front and sides.

This fine Tuesday's tail ends.

Happy TET!

Here’s today’s Tail End

Tail ends  for this fine Tuesday!

Here’s a Piko G gauge drovers caboose running through a crossing on my outdoor layout.

Here's a Union Pacific City of Los Angeles observation car's tail end as it would have looked between 1937 ~ 1941.

Well its somewhat late, but here is my "TE" for today.  Its another Marx work caboose but this time its the Western Pacific variant, from 1957.

This picture shows his "long" toolboxes and fancy end railings, these made the work caboose a Marx "deluxe" car at least iaw most collectors.

Best Regards

Here’s my Tail End for today.

Here is the tail end of  little MTA Switcher. He's inspecting the elevated line -

A tail for today.

A tail for today.

I love those MTH work cabooses. I'd love to get one but I have never found one in a road name I'd like to have.

Happy Tail End Tuesday. This is from our honeymoon in Virginia. The location was Shenandoah, VA. They had a great rail yard there too.

I can’t get enough shots of this guy.

Well its T.E.T so I guess i need to get my "T" moving and post...so here is a little train, never an official set, that I made up with my "Allstate" tank cars, tender, and caboose.  In my little train, the engine which you can't see (its T.E. Tuoesday !) is a #400 but with an "Allstate" slope back tender.  The tankers are all Allstate of various levels the last one a simple 4 wheel low end plastic tanker.  The caboose is the orange Allstate bay window from 1958-1959, what Marx collectors typically call a "deluxe" car, although Marx never made any such distinction.

Here is a better look at the "tail end" and the caboose.

Hope you all have a great week

Don

Here is my TE.

Here's a Union Pacific City of Los Angeles dome observation tail end as it would have looked between early 1955 ~ Oct 1956.

A couple of late tail end contributions.

I certainly can't compete with beardog49's cat, but here is the tail end of what I think is the finest observation car ever made in 3rail - the 3rd Rail/GGD "Moon Glow" car from the GM Train of Tomorrow:

That is awesome

Here's my first try at a repaint. Not perfect but it was crusty and rusty when I started.  Marx CP tail end caboose.
