Decided to go with more of a theme, as the layout takes on more of a hi-rail look, so I ordered a couple of Reading engines & passenger cars. Expect to see them showing up in more shots going fwd :)

If you look at my posts on this thread with any regularity, you know I have been building a model of the town of Port Royal PA over the past nine months or so. It's still not finished, but with the streets finally getting weathered and the utility poles going in, it's starting to get a finished look. So while it's still not done yet, here are a bunch of photos I snapped off last night with my cell phone, some in black and white.

These are super neat- your user name makes more sense now! I went to school in Downingtown so it’s pretty neat to see it. A lot of great railroad history in the areas- between the Lincoln funeral train passing through and the Downingtown trestle being a target for espionage during WW2.

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

I'm working on a couple of paint projects that also include putting interiors and the "little people" in 15" LIONEL passenger cars that didn't have them originally.

So, here is a Santa Fe dome observation car, 6-19113 "Super Chief", with a donor vista dome interior from a UP offset dome car, 6-15372 that I test fit for concept validation--in other words, the passenger cars use the same extrusion so what works in one will more than likely work in any of them, provided they have the requisite opening in the ceiling:

And the same thing worked when installing lower level and upper level interiors in a TCA full dome:
