 Someone ask the MTH reps why they never offered ERIE LACKAWANNA GP-35’s?

You are a lot braver that I am. Lots of luck and patience is needed.

A 2017 Christmas Layout memory.

2 different angles of the farm that I showed last week.

A hopper and a well car in the repair line.

Great Northeastern Railway engine servicing facility.

Looks nice Randy. We all need some scale blue flags! I haven't found any.

3 photos taken from the fireman's side of the cab-control coach of the New Mexico Railrunner. These photos are not of great quality, but the files are big enough to zoom to get better detail.  The photos show some of the last remaining searchlight signals in the ABQ area.

I haven't sat on the left side since late 1982...it sure felt good.

Unloading a classic.

I recently went to the Sugar Sand Festival in Clearwater Beach Florida and took some train related photos made out of sand. 

Happy Weekend. 

Got Two Running, working on the third set.

Hey Paul - Can you repost this using the horizontal format please?  Not much visible on the computer screen this way!  Thanx

PS  Am assuming that most of us here are 'old farts' and watch this on our computers...

Choochoo Paul nice collection of Acelas! We need to see some more videos of those please! Especially once you have three running.

REALLY like the Erie stuff. That HAS to be one of the classiest schemes ever conceived.

3 Acela's running at the same time on the same layout would be some kind of world record.

                                  Need MTH to offer this to go with them.......................

Old timers on he TMB

And now posting for the World Record in the Land of ACELA's

Three Acela sets, plus three expansion sets, plus a Niagara LCCA passenger special, all running on the club layout in Racine, Wisconsin.

Will post the operating video when I return from Colorado.

Here are some photos of the museum and layout at the Red Lion Area Historical Society in Red Lion, PA, a few miles from York.  They held open houses on Thursday and Friday for any York TCA members that wanted to visit.  You really need to see the layout in person because of all the nicely detailed scenes on it.

This is a great little museum that needs more volunteer members.  If you live in the area, check them out. 

                 So, what ever happened to the new RMT ore cars???????????????

It turns out the electronics, plus motors and trucks from a Lionel LC+ rectifier can be easily installed into a Lionel dummy FT, which then makes it a powered unit. I can’t even believe how easy, fast, and fun this project was.

Break in run of my new T1, short pacing shot at 95 smph!

It took me a few years but I finally collected enough rides to complete my amusement park.   The next phase will be scenery.    I'd like to put some small walls, or fences, around each ride.  Oh, and I need a lot of people.....lol.

Amusement Park

The Casey Jones Hi Railers have been hard at work building a trestle bridge on the outside line of our layout. Today we completed one side of the bents for the trestle that will lead to an inverted girder bridge that will span our planned water feature.

Mike scribed the stone for the wall behind the trestle by hand into a sheet of blue styrofoam - see above.

Here is Mike, our architect and head engineer in charge, adding a capstone to the top of the wall behind the trestle.

See below 

We hope to install the bents for the other side of the trestle tomorrow. The inverted girder bridge has not been built yet, let alone installed. We will span the gap for the inverted girder bridge with a 1X4 in order to allow us to run trains on the outside loop next Saturday during our Memphis Model Railroaders open house.

Sunday April 22nd

Mike and Nep returned today and finished installing the second set of bents for the trestle. A temporary span was put in place where the inverted girder bridge will eventually be installed. Here are some pictures from today.

If you are in the Memphis area next Saturday please come by and see us. We will have operating layouts in Z, N, HO, O and G scales. Go to

for information about our open house.

Hsve good week and safe travels to those of you headed home from York.

 Thanks,

Richard and the Casey Jones Hi Railers 

Junkyard is almost complete.
