The weekend is here and it is time for Weekend Photo Fun!
The final car from MTH came in for the N&W Bicentennial train.
Last night I was running my Lionel Clinchfield Mogul which is a relettered NYC Mogul.
I even detailed the back head.
Let's see your pictures.

Picked up the Lionel set over the holidays when I saw it on a boxing day sale, been looking at the General set by Lionel for a while. Colors just looked nice.
Was really impressed by the color, detail and quality of the paint work on this set. Really looks sharp.
So finally dug around my collections and put all the Coca-Cola themed items together for the first time.
The Atlas truck out front with the lights, the original set of lights was very dull and ate batteries pretty fast, so I took a color LED light string and replaced it, mounted 3 of the bulbs at end of string on a piece of cardboard to shine back at the truck to illuminate the image on the side and battery pack sits under the snow cover. (normally displayed in a white snow theme on the layout).
Truck looks much better with a set of brighter colored lights and the batteries last a lot longer.
Looking forward to all the photos each week. Thanks all for sharing.

There's no Pepsi in your fridge?
My son and I got to do some railfanning on the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Northern Sub out of Butler, PA a couple weeks ago. Here's a quick shot of the BT-3 crossing one of the wooden trestles in Chicora, PA on its way to Petrolia.
A couple of Atlas "demo" units made an appearance recently..

Still have the scale PE passenger set on the layout. There was a thread started recently about the 2014 edition that should be released this year. If you haven't got one of these beauties, you may want to consider it.
Great photos everyone! Here's my first try at this in a while, tried a few different camera effects on them.

Lucia picked out a few boxcars -
Every since I got her the Conrail boxcar, she kept bugging me for a Conrail engine - I fixed that -

This is one of my favorite photo's. I always wanted to send it in to Allan but never got around to it. Just what are the engineer's saying?

Chris 2035 - Almost every week you post pictures of your layout and the kids hanging around and running trains. It is great how much they are involved. Congrats on a great family and layout!
Welcome to a portion of the "Rigatoni Express Railroad"

Greg, Thank you!
The kids certainly love the layout & I like having them in there to run the trains with me. Makes the hobby a lot more fun

One of my favorite photos too. Love that TS engine.
A shot taken earlier today as the engineer of B&0 T3 #5584 exchanges a wave with a young railfan as his brings his train through Maryville. Bo

Joe....did you paint the backdrop? Regardless of who did, it is BEAUTIFUL. It reminds me of something that Clark Dunham would do!

Thank you everyone for the kind words on my mural. It was painted eight years ago by a friend (paid) of one of my neighbors. I took pictures of what I wanted depicted in the painting and he came up with this design. For those who don't know where this is, it's Philadelphia Center City. The green area surrounds The Museum of Art and not shown further to the right is Boat House Row on the Schuylkill River. Also not shown on the far left side is the Ben Franklin Bridge over the Delaware River. I'll try to show them in future postings. I thought he did a great job. Thanks again.

Unique and cool!

"No Pepsi! Coke!"
Some inspiration for your future display planning...

I think they're singing "I've been working on the railroad...".
I added some white striping on the MTH Premier Southern Ps-4 (20-3006-1) I purchased from a Forumite to match 1401 in the Smithsonian.

Pepsi made a visit but got cornered;
Not in the same color scheme !
The Coke sets seems more like Christmas colors!
