Pennytrains/Becky, All of your layouts have been delightfully happy, playful places, it appears, full of joie de vivre!

This is a section of my layout that I completely (see the stripped-down shot) re-crafted, and I am so glad i did. In my imagination, it is reminiscent of many neighborhoods I used to know among the steel mill towns in Pennsylvania, of Duquesne, McKeesport, Homestead, Glassport, and Braddock. I wanted to capture a feel of some of those streets around the mills that enjoyed the company of the men after they finished their shifts at U.S. Steel. It was in a bar like in this neighborhood that I first ever heard of the local favorite, "Boiler-makers," which is an "acquired-taste" for some, but had me trying only once and learning that lesson ....IMG_9782IMG_0093IMG_0095IMG_0103IMG_0107IMG_0115IMG_0128IMG_0131IMG_0134

Frank as usual great work. Your ability to tell a story or bring back memories is always amazing.  This is a great scene on its own. All you need is crane with a wrecking ball, dump trucks, a loader, piles of debris, and this could be any place.

This easily could be South Chicago or any of the neighborhood that bordered US Steel. (My dads father worked at US Steel's South Chicago Works)

Trainroom Gary, I am impressed with your Photography, and the picture of you Waiting on the Train, Plane or Automobile?  Or, Your Ship to come In???  Either way, it would be neat to sit on trackside and watch our trains run the rails...It actually could be dangerous....So, back to normal, Thanks for your post.  Keep the pictures coming.... Happy Railroading.
