Weekend Photo Fun 2-22-13-??

Am beginning to focus more on our regional roads now. Picked up this nice RK RS1 from a Forum member this week. These RS models certainly have great sounds!

 

It joins the Lionel SR  U30C acquired the week before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good Morning  in North western. Mass.  Time to go to work on the Conn. River Division of the B&M.  Picking up empties to drop off at Sullivans Paper mill.

 

Have a Great Weekend everyone!

Here's a photo of a scene under construction on my layout.  Photo shows the hamlet of Longfellow, PA, located a few miles west of Lewistown on state route 103.  In this area, the road drops down off the hillside and closely follows the tracks for about a half mile.  This closely resembles the prototype area upon which it is based.

 

Was taken with my I-phone so I can't vouch for the quality.  First time I've tried doing this:

re-purposed figures...somewhat..

Wow....Neal Schorr....you nailed it! Very nice!

Nice work, everyone! Tom in PGH

 

 

 

A wider view of the upstairs around the room layout.

Here is a picture of my MTH premier C&O 2 Bay PS-2 Hopper and K-line chessie flat car with coil load. I got yesterday. 

Neal, very realistic scene. 

GEF, just saw your blog for the first time. Nice work.

 

Drew, amazing pictures. I wish you would post more often.

 

Passenger car collector, that observation car is exquisite.

 

Amazing photos so far this weekend, most look like they belong in the scenic showcase.

John Sethian, what did you use to make the railing? Looks fantastic.

I guess its rude to not participate. Still early in the construction process, heres two EJ&E transfer diesels passing Joliet's Union Station on the Rock Island line.

Zett...that passenger car that PTC (Brian) posted is a K-Line full length car.  Yes...it is beautiful!!

Very nice round of photos so far.

 

A set of MTH Ohio Central RS-3s arrived.  One is a powered unit with PS3 and the other is a dummy unit.  My OC GP38 joins them on a run.

 

 

 

 

Some pics of my new NYC premier plated passenger cars

   

  

   

   

Wow, some great photos as always!  Neal, excellent job!  Growing up in PA, I feel like I've seen that setting a million times.  Here's my contribution for this week...

 

 

 

Turbo Train in service.

 

Great pictures as always.

My contribution for this week, night time on Main St.

Neal,, looks absolutely fantastic!  What are you using for telephone or utility poles and telegraph as well?  Are they scratch built?  I am using Keil line.  They are extremely hard to find. I may need a substitute.  Also I love the thick wire  your using.  I am using ez line and need thicker for other uses. And last what do use for guard rail (wire)? Thanks on advance.

Good shots this week. Keep 'em coming.

Get your checkbooks out!!  I hope to see this again.

 

 

Newest kit - grain silo

 

 

RMT had such a great sale, I just couldn't resist. As I sell off my semi-scale locomotives and rolling stock, here I go buying this. It's short, and it's really pink. My Grandmother and Father both died of cancer. River City 3 Railers will be doing their part to get the message our with this very nice little set. This little guy will see a lot of run-time in 2013.

 

 

 

 

Some more J class shots to go with the news from earlier today.

 

My Lionel Cab-forward, with TAS turbo-smoke. It really smokes. Finally pulled it out after a couple years thinking I'd sell it, but now not so sure!

 

 

 

We are impressed with the overall look of these William's PRR FA 's purchased from Christopher  Esposito recently. He had re wired them and they are indeed smooth. I'm thinking of upgrading them to command and possibly adding the radio antenna to the lead A unit. Was surprised at the detail such as the grab irons on the upper surface of the nose.

 

Here they are at the club layout last week.
