A trip into Manhattan this week afforded me one last opportunity to see the transit museum's holiday display at GCT before it's taken down. Between the trains displayed along the wall and the layout, it's a fantastic thing to experience.

Not taking away anything from all the great work here, this is a really nice image!

The G&O has had a tradition of running trains on New Year's Day. No trains were run on January 1, 2015 because a tree fell on the layout wiping out the mainline. The tradition was resumed on January 1, 2016.

The Daylight is being pulled by a brass Williams 4449 that was upgraded to command control with Electric Railroad electronics. The SP diesel has also been changed to command control with ERR parts. The cars are a mix of K-Line and MTH. Here are a few photos:

Trying again...

Around the corner and down the street...

       Frank, Your car wouldn't start? You do know your engine is missing, right? 

I think that's the problem. Maybe somebody stole it?

(And I imagined had an eye-for-detail!)

Frank, as usual your photos as always tell a story or remind us of times past.. But in this case.  I just couldn't resist.

I'm glad you didn't resist. It was a good laugh, at my "expense," and I enjoyed it. And I enjoyed the surprise of never having noticed the absence myself (!)

All you need to add is an engine hanging from a hoist. Great modeling - always inspiring!

Hhhmmmmmmm....let me think about that. That's a good idea, except that the vignette has the car stopped at the side of a village road, seemingly for an unexpected emergency, not on-the-spot shopwork. Right? Oh, whatthehay, it's still a good idea you have suggested Maybe, I'll move the whole scene into a car repair business lot. Hhhmmmmmm????!!!
