The Weekend is finally here and for many of us PYDS (Post York Depression Syndrome) has set in. So let's get WEEKEND PHOTO FUN started and get our minds back to the trains.

For those "close lookers".  The Weaver model is a Baldwin Locomotive.  #29 is an Alco, manufactured in Pittsburg(h). Lake Superior and Ishpeming,  Iron Ore,  railroad.
South Rim of the Grand Canyon, near the train station.

Another LS&I consolidation. ?I think?  Western Maryland Scenic RR.  Big Consolidations. IMO

Western Maryland Scenic, still burns coal.  Grand Canyon #29, the last time it was operated, probably was run on re-claimed peanut oil, that smelled like French Fries.

The layout is kind of in limbo right now due to a bathroom modeling project going on directly above it.  The garage is being used for a staging area of sorts...boxes of cabinets, fixtures, a new tub are all blocking access.  Tile is being cut in the doorway.  A big mess and not easy to negotiate around.

There's a train somewhere behind that tub!!

 

If I twist and contort myself like a pretzel, I can make my way to the transformers, but the footing is very unsteady.  So operations have been severely curtailed!  Meanwhile, a new E7 from 3rd Rail patiently awaits on a kitchen counter!

Building towards creating 2014 Christmas Layout memories.  End of week #1

 

Not much to see because I have to put ALL of the wiring in place before I can do anything.  Hard to notice, but I lay down 1/2" blue board first, leaving gaps between the pieces.  I run all my wires in those gaps.  This way when I lay down the Homasote I'm not tramping on wires.  Takes a LOT of planning.

Peter,

 

When we lived in Goldvein Virginia from 1987 to 1993, we used to go to the mountains a lot.  If we went by way of Charlottesville, I always stopped at the Montpelier station to stretch legs and get the little ones out of the car seats for a while.  We also went through Orange a few times, but I never stopped.  Great stations!  Great photos and thanks for the good memories.
