train murals on buildings....

From a hobby shop that used to be in Dormont, PA.  I believe they now share a building with a stereo / TV store.

I took this...saved you another Google Image search.

A mural in Kamloops, British Columbia taken at dusk.  There is a tourist railroad in Kamloops with a steam engine but I wasn’t there long enough to ride it.

I hope someone photo-captured the mural on the side of Caboose Hobbies in Denver....the now-closed location...before it suffered any urban renewal demise.  I never did, for all of my vacation visits.  Wish I had.

This is a cool one on Henning's Trains shop in Lansdale, PA.

Here's one across the street from the ATSF Las Cruces, NM Depot

I took the first two photos in Bluefield, WV in 2014. The location is downtown about a block from the rail yard. The last shot, taken in 2015, was a work in progress on a building across from the Virginian Museum in Princeton, WV.

Outstanding, and very well done artwork!

On the side of a building in Englewood, Ohio, there is a large mural of an approaching interurban car, with an old brick carbarn up the road a few miles. This right on one of the many former routes in the area.

  a 3-D mural....

This is a mural that was done as a tribute to Frank the Trainman in San Diego. The mural was not part of the original building that stood at this location, the new building was built by Mission Fed Credit Union. The mural was done by a local artist with the help of students from what was Roosevelt Junior High at that time. However in the upper right corner is the original animated neon sign that was part of the original building. The neon sign is supposedly the 4th oldest animated neon sign in the country. Can't say that this is true but I have been told that it is considered a historical landmark.

Almost willing to bet that any train nut in San Diego is familiar with this building, a few of us might even remember the original building and Frank.

This is at the night club my brother runs. It's called the Cabooze in Minneapolis and the entrance is a caboose

Here are some White Pass murals from Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.

Bob, Was that an offshoot from the old "Johnny's Toy Shop" that had been in Latonia for decades ? Used to go to Johnny's original location every Wednesday night before  church 60+ years ago.

Tim of Tim's Trains used to run the train department at Johnny's Toys in Latonia.  The new shop is about a mile north of the old Johnny's store (now closed).  Tim's is mostly an HO shop with very little 3-rail.  They do get some consignment sales every once in a while along with the occasional estate.  The store is a very good source for paint, glue, scenery supplies, Miniatronics stuff, etc.  The store staff is very helpful.
