Thanks!

New member Jon seen here peeking around from behind the outcropping is an HO modeler but likes the fellowship and helps out.

Here's a pair of Lionel PRR pre-war K-4 Pacifics rounding the wide curved stone arch bridge at Port Royal on their way to Altoona and points west:

 Rich, your site and your work still impresses me. I went to your site and don't see the recent pics you've posted?  I was looking for more pics of the heritage engines you've got. Very nice.

 I see you added a Genesis and it looks like you fixed the front pilot. Is that a tough job? I need to do mine still.

 I also still need to do your tether mod on a couple engines.

Camouflaged center rail (see back by the grade crossing):

Two things I love in this shot...........

Dad was a Studebaker man......

I can remember when all the roads in West Virginia had those post and cable gaurd rails on the mountain roads.

Nice work.

That's based loosely on my hometown as a kid.  Stu built the Sears, Woolworth, JC Penney, Jack in the Box, Goff Shoes, May Jewelry and another building for a custom look.

Great photos fellas!

I snapped this photo a short while back of two New York Central GP7's rumbling out of Maryville past the water tank and several section gang workers.  Have a great Friday the 13th!  Bo

Here are some shots of my layout at the Polar Express event at our railway museum last week. Click on photos for larger view.

Display shown with the over head lights on, buildings light up more when we were running.  30x16 feet

The full size Polar Express train on the left ready to roll out from the Railway park.

Kids love running the Thomas trains with the LionChief remotes.

Here's another shot looking west on PA Route 103.  This is "section 6" which was completed on Sunday December 8 after an extended construction period."  It was accepted by the management of the PRR  Middle Division.  NTP has just been issued for Section 7 which extends westward from the borough of Duncannon to the eastern abutment of the Tuscarora Creek bridge shown in my prior photo of the K-4 Pacifics.  This is located just east of Port Royal.  Inital work will consist of construction of the US Routes 11-15 overpass in Duncannon.

BTW, the photo closely matches the prototype where Route 103 closley follows the tracks a few miles west of Lewistown, cutting through woods and farm fields.

Mr. Schorr:  Wonderful detail and so real, even the cracks in the roadway!  Inspiring to see.

RECENT LAYOUT WORK on the METACOMET CENTRAL.

Walt, OH so, so, so nostalgic for someone like me! 

Great Pictures everyone!!!

KJ was this picture taken? I like those green and black passenger cars. The mountains in the background look very nice also. Thanks.

Matt welcome back, love the  Commodore

James

First train on tracks in nearly 3 years.  .  MTH Railking Commodore Vanderbilt:

Mike did such a nice job with this RK model it's odd that they never produced it in the Premiere line.

Action on the Seattle & Yakima RR

I like some of the new Norfolk Southern Heritage add-ons from MTH and Lionel.

Beautiful photos everyone

Beautiful scenes! When you say the center rail is "camouflaged", do you mean photoshopped, or some other more sophisticated trickery?
