A small addition to the layout.

"Being watched"...

"Het, lookit, everybody!  It's Chewbacca!  Let's get his autograph!"

(I am both impressed and concerned to find that spell check accepts the word Chewbacca. . . .)

Dave, It is a DSL shop Goldblatt's front. I had Dave from Crescent Locomotive works cut me a 3D sign on his laser.

Since my own layout is still under construction, here's a few shots of the trains running at AGHR a couple years ago:

...as well as one of the buildings I was finishing up for the club at the time:

BRIANSILVERMUSTANG: That's a good looking engineer. Most I see are too clean and bland, with no definition to the features. Did you paint him yourself?

          no I did not paint him, that is the way it was when I got it...

Always wanted to do a video of my layout...

I usually post photos on Friday morning, but couldn't get to it until today (Sunday). Anyhow, here ya go...double headed PRR K-4 Pacifics haul a westbound passenger train under the home signal and through the switches at "View" interlocking...

Note that razor sharp ballast edge and cindered subroadbed so typical of Pennsy's steam era.

Picked up the Lionel 'Postwar Scale' CP F3s this week and am on the hunt for some suitable cars for them

is that an mth multiple units consist?

Here's my friends new #82769 Legacy Allegheny. Lionel fudged the tender roller spacing on this as it doesn't bridge the center rail gap on my Atlas"O" 7.5 degree turnouts. It needs a "hot" jumper from the engine or another roller on the tender.....

Work in progress:

Chessie visits the Jasper's Rock Locomotive Service Facility.

Nice photos everyone, thank you all for sharing!

On my way home from the grocery store this morning, I drove home past the RR tracks as usual.  When I saw three or four guys with cameras walking along the road, I knew something was up.  An Alphabet route (W&LE, AVR, B&P) loaded coke train was running westbound on the AVR/B&P passing Bakerstown, PA.  I missed getting a photo of the head end power (2 AVRs and a Wheeling unit), but here's a shot of the helpers on the rear.

Last weekend, I was running trains and testing signals.  Here's a CR consist passing the soon-to-be west end of the yard.

My granddaughter Lorrie Frances demonstrates the lessons she has mastered at the Gonzales Institute of Train Training. During a visiit to the Memphis Childrens Museum Lorrie Frances was able to recall the Santa Fe F3   lessons her Grandaddy taught her. She picked out the Santa Fe F3 ridding toy on her own!!

Have a good week, and if you live in the Mid South let’s hope it’s  dry one!

Jeff (Centeral Terminal Jeff on forum) and I finished the city level (3rd Level) of layout today. Who knew that you could spend two days cutting plywood and screwing it down.

A lot of contours on edges to make transitions between 2nd & 3rd levels more interesting.

Now I have somewhere to put all the kits I have been building.

Here are a few shots from today

Been wondering where all those marvelous buildings and fronts you've been posting find their home. From what I see this is a premier layout. Where can we see more?

Al how did you get off of that level?

"Where can we see more?"

Dave, it will eventually be in the magazine, but not yet.

"Al how did you get off of that level?"

Joe, see that hole in the middle of the plywood. That is my access hole. I am going to make a city block of fronts on top of it.
