Starting to get some colors on the trees up here in Maine.

Fall 2017 tie replacement has started on the Amtrak Downeaster line.

No action on the 3 rail layout.

Rest in peace, Fred.

Sometimes I get bored in school...

RDG DF #1249................

My Postwar 2055 is back after being sent out for service and mechanical rebuilding. Always has and still does run like a fine Swiss watch! I have it running around my outer loop with a beautiful train of the new MTH Premier 64' 19th Century wood passenger cars.

In recent weeks, I've added many new shelves to the walls in the basement. I had installed a few several years ago, and a few pink ones were left over from the previous owner (who about painted the whole **** house pink...UGH!). I've got a few more to put up, maybe this weekend if I have time.

Here's Korber Ted's Textiles in progress. Come see it at the Korber models booth, in the orange hall 

Here is a Legacy PRR RS11 I did a mild 3rs job on. I just wanted to fix the pilots and mount Kadees and get to running it. The pilots are so off anyway I didn't want to spend too much time on the project. 

T minus 2 weeks & counting till moving day. Saturday I took a drive up to my LHS in Spencer to pickup some track for the new layout & decided to stop over to NCTM & Shoot 611 - Hurricane Matthew provided the rain. 

& N&W 620

It's time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!!

This week I have been having some computer problems so I am going to start out with some pictures from my layout in 2013.

Let's see your pictures.

A great "old" picture Scott. Nice work everyone!!

Great work everyone.  It was my wife and I 15th wedding anniversary and she painted a Lionel work house up for our anniversary.  Also a few pics of running our BN 1970, and to think I almost sold the old girl. 

Pulling a few grain cars.

This past weekend's Reading & Northern Autumn Leaf Excursion:

Stuck in a garage....somewhere near the swamps of Jersey.  

The very 1st PS2 MTH locomotive I ever purchased was this Railking PRR RS-3. I ran the wheels off it until finally it died.  At the time, it would have cost more to fix it than to just replace it so I put it in "storage". I finally decided to convert it into a dummy unit. I managed to add an engineer figure where MTH couldn't and equipped it with an LED headlight. Paired up with a powered RS1 they make a nice pair no matter which is leading - long hood forward of course(!).  

I love the old Alco  RS series locomotives. 

Just finishing my River Leaf Radio Station. When you order a station from RL Andre will make any call letters you want. I picked KPOA because it's the local Hawaiian station here. I modified the kit with round lights and LEDs plus a few little extra things. The billboard on the side is for a old radio show called "The Railroad Hour". For you railroaders that have never built a kit, these are fun and easy to build. Don

Getting ready for a run on the main track. Thanks for looking. Have a great Weekend everyone. 

Here's some pics from Patburg and the Free State Junction Railway.

...at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. I've posted this before, I think, but I saw it and couldn't resist.

Great photos everyone! This fall weather means train season is officially here! Here are some photos around the layout, and a few pictures I took of smaller scale trains next to their o scale counterparts. 

My new to me Lionel 1615 switcher.  Cleaned up great.

Got this K-line business car. Also got some K line Lackawanna (Not evertything pictured yet) for my Birthday.

One of my new engines, MTH Norfolk Southern SD70M-2.

Here is a few pic's of new train items i got. MTH Sunoco Chrome Tank Car and Lionel Chessie (C&O) PS1 Boxcar and Lionel Chessie Stock Car with farm animals.

pop in on Switcher Saturday tomorrow and show it off!

Today I got my first Amtrak Superliner cars for my birthday today!!! They are MTH Railking versions circa 1999-2000 in a four pack which I paid $96 for!!!

Nothing new on the layout. Here's a photo from Horseshoe Curve last weekend. 

Still a layout in progress.....

MTH Grand Trunk Western gondola loaded with jack-o-lantern pumpkins.

State of the current art upstairs...

I think I'm breaking every "rule" there is. I've got PRR Centipedes pulling Southern Crescent passenger cars, a GM&O GP-35 pulling a Northwestern caboose, and a Conrail SD-80 in there somewhere... At least it has the right caboose on it. I think. The only normal thing is the delightful SP ABBA passenger set on the outside, but the cars are all empty, no one aboard.

Ah well, beginnings... At 6 years now, I think I'm still beginning. Well 6 years in total. What you see above is only a few months now since the new purchase and move.

Been enjoying a lot more layout time in the dark thanks to Menards structures!

Nice black and white photo Max.

My contribution for this weekend. Have a great and blessed weekend.

Layout power upgrade. I added another Legacy PM to power my steam yard separately. Also changed over to 135s because I like their breakers a little better than the 180s. 

Jake, wonderful looking 1615. That was the last train of two my Pop bought for me when they came out I think about 1956 or so.  I wanted an engine with the coupler in front so I could double head with my 2026. I was about twelve years old then and my Dad thought I was a little old to play with trains but I got it anyway for Christmas. If he could see my collection now. Thanks for brining back some nice memories. Don

Thanks for the likes guys!

Our layout has gone GREEN.
