It's time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!
This Saturday the VMT will have their Halloween Spooktacular. Train Rides, Face painting, painting, crafts. I will be in the basement with the model railroad clubs open house. I made a few changes for tomorrow's event.
Let's see your pictures.

My latest creation from Lionel. It's not 2 cars, it's one car but the graphics are different on the 2 sides.

That's a lot of milk Peter. Must be heading to the Dairylee plant in Yonkers
The layout came out awesome Scott! The tinplate on the high elevations is a little scary to watch! 🎃

I swear I posted this a bit earlier but when I came back in there was no post by me, so excuse me if it shows up twice.
The main street in Waltburg. OK, the ONLY street in Waltburg

Just when you think you have run out of space- a new elevated subway appears! :grin:
Fun for this weekend! Full spectrum of my layout .... Passenger train, industrial, city streets, to the mountains. 
Few pics around the layout
Lee, is that a Lionel Coaling station?
Happy Weekend To Everyone. The first S.B.R. -tourist train.
Fresh out of the paint shop! This MTH 44 tonner started life as a Southern switcher but I just got finished with the B&M conversion.

@walt rapp: Just an FYI, seems you accidentally posted it over in the "TBD Upcoming O Gauge Release From Menards" thread (https://ogrforum.com/...lease-from-menards-1)
It is October, 1949, and the little engine is heading out on a local run with a high priority shipment from California. This run is normally pulled by a H10, but the H10 was needed for a work train. The last local this H6sb did was over two years ago, when it was relegated to yard duty.
The H6a was the biggest single class of PRR motive power, with 1,242 built. 600 H6a engines were rebuilt into H6sb engines, but by 1949 only a handful were left with most being scrapped from 1946-48. A few made it into the early 50s. This engine is a 3rd Rail model upgraded to command control by forum member Alex_M.

Very Nice. I sure would love one of these since I have a small 5X9 layout with 0-31 and 0-42 curves but would love it either repainted USS #45 Green and Yellow for the Pine Creek Railroad or USN for Yellow Earle Naval Base.
For no particular reason:
Just got this; Thomas Industries "Shawnee". All metal, moderately heavy, well-made, impressive.
Almost certainly somewhat over-scale, but less so than the slightly-massaged General on the right:
Thomas Shawnee, General, AHM 4-4-0 (2R), 3rd Rail 2-6-6-2 (not narrow-gauge). The AHM and 3rd rail are definitely 1:48.

Dave - thanks for pointing out the dirty apparatus! I'll be sure to talk to the chief first thing in the morning and see if he can get some volunteers to shine up those rigs by tomorrow afternoon

I hope you did not ride that %^*$# thing without getting your shots first. There are things in those tunnels that the city keeps a secret!

I've only been home 1 day out of the last 10, so I didn't do anything on the layout, but I did snap a few shots before I left.
Little bonus of this trip is that I got to stop by Strasburg, PA. I purchased a few scenery items for the layout while I was up there

A new, unexpected, addition to my collection after a visit to the LHS located near my parents. They seem to be moving towards more used O gauge trains on their shelves, and I found this Lionel GCT 100th Anniversary station for about $100 less than what they can be found for online currently. At under $100 total for the building, it found it's way into my car. It's the ideal size for my Christmas display and I think it'll add to it.
Also have a friend's Legacy SP GS4 in my possession for some smoke unit repairs. I've always been a bigger fan of the N&W J class engines, but the GS4 is quit the looker as well.
