Weekend Photo Fun Fall York 2012 Edition

A couple more shots from the B&O Railroad Museum last weekend.  I know shots like these have been posted here before, but it really is a great place worthy of some publicity.  The layout is an HO layout in a passenger car.

How about an oldie from last April. Sitting with the MDOGS and having a great Thursday night:

Wish I was there guys. Have fun!

Good pics of the museum layouts.

Trust many folks off having a good time at York.

Here are some pics of my display at a local hobby show last weekend;

Thomas and friends on Green carpet, Nascar and Cars movie displays for the kids!

Some T at F pics. 

A great event....as always.

Added a B unit

Orginally ordered as ABBA sets. 

That's a beautiful shot John!

While you guys are froliking around the halls up there, we're dismantling our layout this weekend....

Most buildings, accessories, and trees are moved off and heading for boxes. Track and benchwork starting to come down today (sniff)

Orginally ordered as ABBA sets. 

You are right! So I got a dummy B, which are available in three rail only, and converted it to 2 rail.  Many more mods on these to come, stay tuned.

It has been over 12 years since I purchased this engine and it finally made it's way out of the shipping box this past week. Allied Trains in conjunction with a license agreement from Department 56 released this engine to go with a set of D-56 freight cars.

We got an early start on a new Christmas layout as my bride has two surgeries scheduled in November and she wanted to be a part of the construction. I am using this engine to pull the eight car set of baby Madison PE cars. The PE engine, that is part of the set that I purchased back in 2004, is not as nice as the engine pictured below and I think it kind of fits since I am using 36 of the D-56 North Pole buildings and many of their accessories and trees.

I don't envy you the work and often the emotion involved in dismantling a layout that involved so much artistry and effort. Have you found a new location for building the Club's layout?

Finally parts of the layout have a decent background and decent lighting.

Trolley stop in the city.....

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Dewey,

The club has moved into a warehouse until we can find a more suitable location. I will be contributing some of the components of our home layout to the club this week as Tuesday is moving day for my wife and me.

The backdrop will go up and I'll paint an additional 15-20 feet beyond the 32 feet I have now. Also the long arched viaduct made for me by TimW here on the Forum. He does amazing work. You can view it on the J&S photos site

Looking great so far everyone,

I was not able to go to York this fall, however I was able to snatch a great deal on a Lionel GP30 on e-bay. As soon as I receive my parts from Lionel I will be converting it to Alco side frames and prepping the shell for the Alcohol Bath to get it ready to be painted Milwaukee Road colors

Hopefully this weekend I will be setting the Lionel OO layout up and getting it ready for Trainfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin  in a few weekends.

Berra, looks like you have a great railroad you chose to model and run, can’t wait to see more pictures of your equipment.

Mike,

I have a H0 RS-3 that I will replace the trucks with  Blunt trucks. Don't have a railroad to run it on for the moment but I do belong to a H0 modular club.

Both of the Washington DC Chapter, NRHS private rail cars are on the rails this weekend. The Dover Harbor is making Washington, DC-Newport News, VA round trips while the Franklin Inn is down on the New River Train in West Virginia. However, their O-gauge versions are running on the home layout.

Eastbound Coast Daylight Train #98 rolling into the station in the town of Beawslaiw...on the Brisbane and Bushong RR.  An AS-616 pulling a box car into the yard in the town of Beawslaiw.

Bob, Thanks for that tidbit.  My youngest son takes the MARC downtown to school this year and gets off at Union Station. He's always telling me about spotting Dover Harbor there, and the other day he saw the Cannon Ball (out of New York?).

Nice job on the O gauge versions!

Getting ready for Halloween.  I got the car off of Ebay from the poor person who left it out in the sun one day.

boin(matt), nice job. Don

Number 904, MBTA's  GP7 was seen in Dedham this morning with MBTA's F40PH #1070.  Now that's a track cleaning machine!  I should keep a tripod in the car since I keep stumbling upon these great photo ops.

Thanks,

A few photos from our annual Halloween event, all taken yesterday, 10/20, when I wasn't the engineer and before I got sick forcing me to head home early. 

Back from York.

I love that mountain work Jim. It reminds me of Colorado.

Here is a picture of my son Jason and I at the Pink Palace. I have the weekend duty running trains and it is really great to see all the kids enjoying the layout.

Our last day at the Pink Palace will be October 28th.

Just got this older Lionel F3...

so i was at a farmers market today and saw a really nice early postwar stock car...i didnt own one yet so i bought it...never thought to really look at it until i brought it home...and i end up finding an original inspection tag in it from lionel..

Trying a video with an old camera.....nice & grainy!   like I said..old camera!

Trainbrain, If you download your video to YouTube, they have the ability and give you the option to clear it up and make it less shaky. It is easy to copy and paste the embed to the forum from there, too.

With only a few weeks to go I did a test setup of my 1938 Lionel OO Layout. I have been taking this to Trainfest in Milwaukee for the past 6 years.

Some of the shots my friend took at Thursdays @ Fridays. These were originally 3MB, 4000x3000 photos, so I reduced them down to 800x600 (I still have the larger ones if someone wants a sharper copy), and I tried to confine the selection to the larger group photos (as there were about 90 in total ), so I don't know if everyone present appears in this group of shots. (I thought I wasn't in any of them, but upon re-examination I found myself in the backdrop of the fifth one)
