A surprize gift from my train loving in-laws just arrived, have not gotten the story yet on this special edition (ASARCO Grupo Mexico) ore car.
(the B51 bridge is only a year late appearing under the tree)
Nice car! I also like the glimpse of the PE in the foreground.
Tim, thanks for the pics of "Suffolk". My brother lives near there and I have visited the place several times myself. I think Suffolk had about 5 railroads serving the town. Sadly most of the stations are gone now except this one and perhaps the N&W (NS) station which was being used as a yard office last time I was there for the Suffolk local.

Interesting - I wonder what the story is behind it. Something tells me Eddie does not play with trains.

Bill, Alan did it again! Awesome complex! What are the tanks in the foreground for? Is it a coal burning plant? Looks like it has a pretty big footprint too? Great job!

I was going to post my PM 1225 but am still working the kinks out of posting pictures. Instead, this is a shot I took of NKP 765 in the Fall of 2010 in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our fearless leader can be seen at the helm. I do have a few more decent shots from this trip if there is interest.
Hope this turns out...
I'd appreciate some advice on watermarking. I didn't see that in the instructions.
How come those wheels are propped up by that rusty steel rail?
I thought they were supposed to ride in the gravel?

Some vintage Plasticville with Woodland scenics backyard barbeque figures.
It's nice when Santa really listens, which for me were some ebay gift cards.
I was able to find some parts to dress up my AF Union Station.
In this case I found an original metal roof, and a new entryway complete with an original clock.

Here's a really fun O gauge layout at the Great Train Show in Sacramento this weekend. Lots of operating goodies on this one, fully demonstrated by the operator. The kids loved it! (Well, of course, so did I.)

Another weekend with great variety.
Richard E., I really appreciate the work that went into the scratch built Coal Towers. No kit there.
Thanks everyone for posting.

Yes your taste in trains is second to none. B&O and the PRR The best!
John, thank you! I am trying not to take a single day for granted. Your nice comments are very much.appreciated.

Hi SP Man:
That is correct! 5 railroads served this town, and the old N&W is still standing. This will be the route used by Amtrak when service extends to Norfolk, VA. I was told that the N&W station will not be a stop on the line. Here's a photo.
If anyone would like to see more of the rail action in Suffolk, look up the MidWeek Photos thread in the RealTrains OGR forum sometime on Wednesday morning.

I'm looking forward to using my grand kids to get back at my kids for giving me all those gray hairs....the ones that stayed in my head.
I've told my daughters I'm going to show up at their houses with squirt guns for the kids filled with India ink.
She's a cutie Jeff enjoy every minute because one second they're 6 or 7 the next minute they're 21 and telling you they'll call you when they get to their new place.
