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!

Happy Friday everyone.  The CZ is traveling at speed along Highland ridge.

Chess Steam Special smokes it up on the National Capital Trackers layout, B&O Railroad Museum, Baltimore, on December 29, 2015.

Here is a video i updated my williams engine with LED's 

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:

Have a great weekend.

Here's a "grab shot" I took with my cell phone showing the town of Duncannon.  Lets you really get down close to the scene like you are standing right there...

Racing season begins in Winterton.

       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 I  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 (!)

My 70s freight train roaring through pinball town.

Here are some photos from Patsburg and the Free State Junction Railway.

I have a passion for articulated steam engines and there are currently three on my railroad: NYC USRA 2-8-8-2; N&W Y6b; Southern Pacific AC12 Cab-Forward. I am looking for good deals on a second hand Clinchfield Challenger and a second hand Erie Triplex, both with PS 2.

Awaiting the next performance of the Amazing Balancing Man!

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????!!!

At trainstock thank you! 

Milan train station waiting to take the night train to Paris.
