The folks in town were stuned to see this futurestic tram on their streets

The Lionel Boxcab is quite accurate to the origional.

On CONUS Lines, an eastbound Chesapeake & Ohio manifest passes beneath the signal bridge at Mid-Grade. The grade here is 2.1%:

In town near the coffee shop!


The yard tower.


The bend near the rail yard.

A 2011 Christmas layout memory

Not much to look at but I chose it because it was one of 2 fun mini-projects that I made for the layout in 2011. it was fun researching dimensions of the lane, the diameter of the hoop, the size of a basketball, etc.

It's part of the playground/picnic area scene.



Hope you don't mind that I'm starting another year of 'memories'.

Capt Rick Wright, thanks a million for the link to your photo stream. Fantastic slide show. Enjoyed it very much.

Finally hunted down #8512

Great photos, Rick , the C&O is my favorite for that time period.
Great detailing on poles.

I want one of those ghostbuster cars

Scott, what is going on with the buildings in second photo?

My newest addition was delivered by the FedEx man today from LCCA

Got inspired by the Intermodal primer and invested in rolling stock



Meanwhile on the other side of the layout there is some PDA at O'Grady's

Wow! Some really great pictures here, thanks!

Walt, as an aging Hoopster, I love this scene. Thanks for sharing.

A couple of oldies....

Nice light rail vehicle. I keep bugging MTH to do an LRV in O scale as more and more cities have light rail systems (we've had one in Pittsburgh for years) and I'm sure they would sell well. None have ever been done in 3 rail as far as I know. So where did that one in the photo come from?

We do some Railfanning on the Bellevue and Schenectady RR and catch the Electric City Express arriving at Schenectady, a switcher doing its chores and an Army recruit train departing Lynchburg. Happy Railroading!!!!-Don Klose

Jeff,

Glad you tracked down 8812. Originally, Lionel cataloged two powered units and a dummy, but only produced 8810. then a year or two later, they produced 8812. I have the Atlas PRR GP-7's which have more accurate graphics, (cab number font style and size incorrect on the Lionel) but for some reason I purchased 8810. Then, Charlie Ro blew out the 8812's, and I picked one up, even though I passed on it when first recataloged. But now that I have both, they are among my favorites. Great sound! I run them a lot.

If only they would do a PRR GP-9 version with roof antenna...and two powered units with a dummy to sandwich in between.

There is an on-going project at the museum where we are upgrading areas of the layout. The "City of Richmond" area use to consist of some poorly made housing kits. Now those are being replaced with MTH Railking buildings, so you are looking at a work in progress.

I kind of screwed up my track plan and ended up runing my upper track through the top of the tunnel portal and got stuck with an unsupported span, so this was my solution. I will prime and paint it this weekend.

I always thought a train themed pinball machine would be cool.

A few weeks ago, someone asked about the Steam, Clean & Wheel Grind Shop made in the early 90s. Here's mine as I get ready to install it.



A great accessory!

Here's a pic of the other side.
