     If you are familiar with the NJ Highrailers, you know how big in size the layout is and how big the welcome is from the members. On a recent visit I took some pics of the literally hundreds of little people that silently support the club. Has anyone else seen a beach on a layout?

Ray Marion

Here are a couple of shots of our club layout as we are making progress.

I'll give a full report in a few weeks as it comes together more.

Here forum member young Josh Scott (Tallulah Falls RR Co) shows his PRR 10-wheeler to new member Jon

Jon and Steve (standing - leaning over the layout above) are both old friends as former fighter pilots in the USAF. Jon is an accomplished HO modeler who, like Josh, has made the switch!

Ray---those are great pics.  We did see a beach at the Boy Scout layout show in Northern Virginia last year and I am hoping to squeeze one in on our layout.

Sam

did you paint the background? It looks like your masterful work from your old layout!

Yes it is Gerry - Thanks for the kind comment.

I've been able to incorporate several items (bridges and structures) from our now defunct layout. Am heading over today to paint 3 more Masonite panels to fill in the rear wall. It is about 50' in length now..

War is raging in Europe and the American economy is improving. B&O EE2a 2-8-8-2 formerly BR&P Class XX crossing the Cattaragus river viaduct with a northbound coal train in tow in the summer of 1941

The new Club layout is looking good Sam as is your always neat background work. Where did you move to from Waynesville?

Working in the yard today…

Trying out the new smoke unit. I completely melted the tray and burnt the PC Board on the original. 

Design issues again...

My Backdrop

We still have the same zip code Dewey - just about 6 miles in closer to town.

Great photos!

Great pics, everyone. Here's one a friend just sent me.......

Peter

Don, great photos.  Love the kit-bashed Ameritown bldgs with added corner trim, and what might be the top of the Plasticville Independence Hall.  Also, can you tell us more about the industrial smokestack?  I'm trying to cobble one together with either pvc tubing or the cardboard tubes from various sized paper towels, saran wrap or wax paper packaging.  I still haven't obtained the right look for the stack.  I wish someone would offer a modular O gauge size industrial stack kit.

Looking more Postwar by the minute -

I'm just putting stuff on the board for now, as this is not the permanent layout, so it wasn't designed for any of this stuff. A few more months and it's down b/c we should be moving into the new house, so I'm not bothering to hook anything up.

Keystone...that building to which you refer that Don and Jim built looks like a combination of several manufacturer's products.  The tower on top is certainly from the Disney Main Street station.  And the big industrial smoke stack is the one that Lionel made a few years back.

Alan

Ah yes, I can now see the Disney station ...looks great.  That top would also look good on a Victorian era brewery building.  I forgot about the Lionel industrial smoke stack who's availability seemed to be short lived unless it was a standard offering pre-1998.  I looked at the various HO smokestack versions from Walthers and others, but they are often too small apply to an O scale scene.

Some photos from a visit to Richard's 2 rail O scale layout. Work continues on the layout adding more buildings and scenery.

Upper part of layout is a long rectangle area running over the main living area ceiling below. First 4 photos on the upper part of layout. 2 main loops and many sidings. 4th photo Sunset locos.

Last 4 photos bottom level of layout. Last photo back of roundhouse with see through windows from the aisle.

Work continues on scenery and details. 

Very nice pictures by all. This is our Yard control tower that will be placed up on yhe coener of our new CN ABBA SHOP.

There has been a good deal activity over the past two weeks regarding K-Line passenger cars. The photo below shows WP F units pulling a set of CZ 21" cars.

Hmmm, there's only enough room in this town for........

Nice to have my train room finally up and running

Some pics from the final days of this layout.  

Have a safe Presidents Day

This looks like it will work as a freight car repair shop.

Now where is a good spot?

Two photo's of my roundhouse and TT.

Here is a small project I've been working on for the Maryville Yard.  Started out with a MTH Telephone Shanty and modified it to look like this:

It's now installed in the yard where it belongs:

It was a small project, but a lot of fun to do!

Charlie, that is a beautiful freight car repair shop!  I love the weathering!  Bo

We got a new building at the NJ HiRailers today  It has been placed temporarily  Its the Genco Olive Oil company

Haven't posted in a while.Have to give posting photos a try

But - a most handsome paint scheme...  

For a Second there I thought this was an awesome photo of a banked curve. For a second it really wet my appetite for banked curves...

then I noticed the large track guage.
