Then, post show…….we loaded are small trailer with items that we would need Monday AM at the annual Science Museum of Virginia Train Show which will begin at 0830 this AM…..our big trailer is already loaded.

This will be a bigger design than ever, a large L. We are doing it with members who are also National Capitol Tracker members. You might remember, back in 2022 GIlly@N&W and I joined the Trackers and built two transition modules so that we could combine with the Trackers at their October York set up.

We’re using those transition modules again along with some Tracker modules.

These are from Monday set up:

More pics later today!

A 2023 Christmas Layout memory

Some of my Miller animated signs.  The pharmacy ones are special: my daughter is a pharmacist, my daughter in law is a hygienist (thus the toothpaste sign), and the window OGR sign was a freebie gotten at York.

Starts off with the drivein sign which I have explained numerous times here why it's special to me.

Also serves as a limited view of the layout.

There are some strange noises none of which I have a clue as to what caused them.

Time: 1 minute 53 seconds.

My new Weather Station , Very Accurate.

Running with the Trackers a few weeks ago in Rockville…

My son is home for the holiday weekend and assembled an extremely accurate Norfolk Southern coal drag utilizing hopper cars that he custom painted and kit bashed. It’s a gorgeous train and I took a few random photos of it as it passed through different parts of the layout. A few of the best follow…

Crossing Tuscarora Creek:

Between Mifflintown and Port Royal:

And finally passing through the farmland near the base of Tuscarora mountain with Pennsylvania State Route 103 in the background:

That’s it for this week. Enjoy!

Charming eyesores on the Northwestern Pacific.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Put together a “new car”……

Hav e a great weekend, folks!

The Science Museum of Virginia Annual Train Show is in full swing. Thanks to the merging of modules of the two clubs, the layout is our biggest ever, about 37x55 ft.

First 1/3 of the way around…..

Thanks. The reindeer car is an Ives Wide Gauge Coke car. Ives labeled it wrong when they made it, this type of car was designed to carry cotton.

The second 1/3 of the way around……

…an attempt at an overview from a corner…..

Last 1/3…….
