Our recent visit to Greenville, PA this past Summer.  Engine and cars all had a fresh coat of paint.

Here is a shot sent to me from the UK by a friend. Nice to see in England that you can still take a steam powered train to the shore.

Fantastic scene and wonderful picture!

I started a discussion about drumheads this week. Here is the Sante Fe Chief.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Another 2013 Christmas Layout memory

My nephew is a pilot for a large airline company, so each year when I know he'll be in town during Christmas train season I throw up this chinzy looking resemblence of an airport.  Doesn't matter how it looks though - he and I both know why I have it on the layout.

Have a great Super Bowl weekend!

Weathered my first diesel/freight car:

Just terrific....

He's a shot from our new layout.... an MTH Premier P5a hustling some flats with Sherman tanks.... If you haven't seen these flats in person, they are very beautiful pieces...

What a predicament.

Really hoping for a Legacy version of this one someday!

Surefire, I like the weathering job! That's a good looking engine.

Here a pic of O scale bi-level house i bought today. 

Great weathering job!   I also really like how the Fastrack looks.

I started building a city scape with a trolley line. Lots of work to do yet, but it is coming along.

Think Spring.   Picture in the Maryland Mountains is early May 2007

They are call snow rollers.  Note that they have tracks , an interesting, rare, winter event.  Snow and wind have to be just right.

This is actually G scale,not O,on my porch this morning.

Dan:

This is something we would regularly see here in Maine. What you got yesterday/today normally reaches us the next day. So I will get the snow blower ready. I do like the picture. Looks like it belongs in the Alps.

Charlie, I agree, great picture.

Melissa, also a wonderful shot of the 3751. Very nicely done.
