Weekend Photo Fun 11-16-12-??

A B&O short freight coming into station...

Likewise Dave, it was a pleasure meeting you as well.  I'll see you again in February.

Enginear-Joe, sneak in all the G scale you like.  G scaler here too.  Along with O scale.

A Pere Marquette Mikado waits for this PM switcher pulls a small train of grain hoppers to the elevator.  The Mikado will then leave town with a train of auto parts on its way to Detroit.

I was able to sneak in a bit of running this morning with my cup of coffee before the kids got up.  As you can see I have started to rough in my roads.

Here are some shots of my scale Polar Express running on the Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers setup at last weekend's Monroeville, PA Greenberg show:

 Me Too!!

Now if Mikey would release as many G scale engines as HO......

Thanks Brian.  I didn't think of it at the time but it might've been nice if I paired it with this dummy!

Here are a couple of shots of my newly finished layout.  Enjoy

Love the tree,is it based on Home Tree from Avatar?

Masco,

Definitely my kind of layout - great scenes. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

Wow. Some great photos and fantastic work everyone. Too many cool favorites shown above to list. Awesome. 

After several weeks with no serious model railroad operations, it was good to get PRR 2-8-2 #9631 in action.

Great photo's everyone

Here's my Mth SIRT switcher pulling the NYC Lionel boom and crane cars

Still posting pictures of the PRR line up for the morning commute.  Big train show this weekend where I hope to sell enough to finally afford some track for these 2 rail beauties.

Checking out the truck.

The cars are 1/32 scale, and the J is an MTH Rail King Imperial model with PS2 pulling a consist of eight Rail King 027 cars. In town, the buildings are Plasticville, Department 56, and card stock kits by Gary Johnson.

The sidewalks are 0.25" thick foam core board painted gray and scribed with a pencil.

The coffee cup on the EL belongs to King Kong!

The station master is flagging down the J to stop. His lantern is illuminated, but the flash overcame the red LED. The bushes and shrubs are made from cotton twine.

The layout has over 300 feet of MTH Real Trax. Mainline curves are 042, 054, 072 and 082. All mainline switches are 042 which provide the minimum spacing between parallel tracks. A single Z4000 provides the track and accessory power for the railroad. Each of the two EL lines (IRT & BMT) have their own Z750 power supplies.

The operating system is MTH DCS

The weather is turning hostile to airbrush work outdoors, so we're building a spray booth. The interior is large at 28" wide x 20" deep x 18" high. We got hold of a couple of "squirrel cage" exhaust fans and used the largest one. A light switch turns on the interior light and the fan. The wiring is for a test and is definitely not permanent. We need to add some foam to seal the opening, but the thing actually works.

Hi Matt,  Good luck with your new spray booth.  I enjoyed stopping at your club and talking with you about your layout while vacationing in southern california a few weeks ago.  My wife actually found your club. 

Matt, I left a lazy Susan there, it should fit inside the paint both, look in the shack outside with the 12 gal. buckets. I think I saw it in there last.
