Happy Friday Guys!

Still living in the York after glow.  Purchased another Black War Baby to add to the roster. 4412 and 4460 wait in the sun for their next orders over Highland Pass.

A hutch that I use to display trains

There are also some sets of vintage baseball cards and newer topps heritage sets that are of current players in old designs. 

Korber Roundhouse in progress , will be weathered and lit.

Here are a few shots of an eastbound mixed freight led by a trio of Lionel PRR GP-30's. They are passing under the PA Route 35 bridge and the westbound interlocking signal at Mifflin.  Note the rise and fall of the pole line to clear Route 35:

And looking to the east...

Finally, a dramatic view from trackside...

Heres a few shots from the Inagural Roanoke Amtrak run on Monday (October 30th) - the return of regular Amtrak service to the star city after 38 years.

The various speeches by keynote politicians:

My right hand on the project and I taking in the moment: 

Things quieted down and a nice sunset over the Roanoke valley: 

Next day we had the first revenue departure at 6:19am to Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Manassas, Alexandria, Washington, New York and Boston etc.

Here's the train after it returned on time at 9:55pm.

And lastly the train being put to bed in its servicing facility for the overnight cleaning and readying for the next day's trip: 

Just found a place for the York Hotel on the layout. And in a nanosecond the Griswolds appears on the red carpet !

It's time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!!

Last week the Virginia Museum of Transportation got a nice donation of model trains

Last Saturday the museum had a Halloween event ;

Let's see your pictures

Scott......

On Halloween night the neighbors across the street trick-or-treated with their 2 yr old little boy. They told me that they just went to the VMT and loved it, especially the layouts.....I was proud to tell them that I know the guys (you & Josh) who maintain the O gauge layout!

One of my favorite engines, the I-5 Hudson.....I hope it gets remade someday with Legacy or PS3.

....and make it for O54 curves.....

One of the prettiest locomotives of all.

You could, of course, track down the Weaver version and add ERR's TMCC. As for O-54 curves, fuggedaboutit

Here are some photos for this weekends fun!

Patrick, I believe I have one of those "milk" trucks squirrelled away somewhere but I believe mine has a "chrome" or silver tank.  Did yours come white or did you paint it?

Okay, John I must confess. I looked the picture and the caption of the Paramount Theater and said to myself " Hey nice! They're building a new theater, pretty cool! The lights on that are awesome, but I don't know what it has to do with trains, a throwback to the 80's I guess". Then I looked the next picture below it and said to myself  "Oh it's not a REAL Theater. . .   " LOL!!! That's how good your modeling is!!! Excellent Work!

The animation of the Miller Engineering Theater signs is great.  You can choose from many blinking styles but this one seems most genuine to me.  And I see that I misspelled Bueller.  But that's what you get for hiring high schoolers to work at your theater I guess!

November 3, 1957. Big time steam is still rattling the diamond. But the internal combustion future is lurking in the background...

The internal combustion future includes more than F-units that will change the transportation industry...

      nmp....                            a very nice photo........

Thank you all for posting , made my  Satuday morning start out  just fine ...................

At the Kalamazoo Model Railroad show on Sunday I was able to find a Lionel L&N ACF Center Flow 3-bay hopper and an MTH Santa Fe 50' high cube box car. The graphics are fun even if they are not on a model that is an exact representation of the real car.
