Weekend Photo Fun 2-24-17-??

You've got to love a kid who picks the Chessie System as his favorite RR.

It's been a busy week in Plasticville.

Transferring freight from my Valley Railway, across the aisle, to his Sassafras Creek Railroad.

No post is complete without a bit of Chessie.

Here is updated picture's of my K-line Clinchfield Die-cast 2 Bay Hopper With Coal.I put new lionel trucks on. The other trucks was croded up pretty bad.   

Great Pictures.

here is my contribution.

Have a nice Weekend!

Not much doing this week....busy at work.....here is an old favorite. One of my favorite liveries...New York Central....Jade Green, with the cigar band.

This was taken in May, 1984 while traveling from Philly to Buffalo. I stopped in Rochester to get some fast food and saw this small freight yard across the street.

TGIF! 70 degrees today so be sure to get outside and enjoy the weather if you can! 

Golden Gate Depot El Cap cars shipped this week.  I got the original run in Santa Fe and the 2nd run in Amtrak. I haven't had time to get all the cars out yet so please forgive my poor cell phone photos.

Happy Friday!

Made a lot of progress on that back corner last weekend! Nice to take some pics & have actual scenery
Started working on the road into town & the passenger platform area as well. This week, I plan to get the rest of the hillside finished along the back & do some ballasting

























Early postwar looks very realistic if placed in the right setting -









NS ES44DC 7544 leads 213 westbound through Wernersville, PA on the Reading line


The Conrail heritage unit sits outside the engine shop in Bluefield yard


NS SD70M 2588 (1 of only 10 non flared radiator SD70Ms on NS) leads an eastbound manifest through Shawsville, VA on the Christiansburg District


NS 188 heads eastbound at Coopers, WV with Dash-9 9417 leading & the Interstate heritage unit trailing




N&W 611 heads northbound through Jamestown, NC on the Piedmont Mainline


A shot you can no longer get now - NS 12G ducks under the not long for this world PRR signal bridge at CP PORT w/ Dash-9 9393 leading

Trim looks great!  One thing I would do though.  Put some bumpers on the dead end spurs that end and drop off!! That scares me just looking at it!    I would surely run something off of it lol

Korber's Ted's Textile's in progress 

Another awesome job Alex.

Weathered my LionChief Plus SOU NW2.

Happy Friday to all!

Last of the Steam Powered Trains

Last of the Steam Powered Trains

 

I was born just a bit too late to really experience steam.  The only time I ever saw a steam locomotive in actual service was when i was ten, in 1958.  I was with my cousins in Maple Shade New Jersey.  The railroad ran just a few hundred feet from my Uncle's coal yard.  I cannot recall the exact type, but I believe it was an 0-6-0 switcher.  As it came by us, cinders rained down on us.  I will never forget that experience.  

Just received this special order car,  its a nice one,  will look better once I have the kaydees on it

Around The RR.

It's Friday and the Photo Fun has begun!!  Very nice pics and videos everyone!!

Here is my contribution for this last weekend of February.

LOVE THE RUST DK, wonder who did those gems?  

Great looking detail-scenery Don. Well done.

More pics of the RC3R's new corner scenery. It is infested with Homie Clowns. At work, when it's an especially crazy day the standard expression is "OK, who let the clowns loose again"?

I want to take this opportunity to thank Menards for their two buildings. They served as the inspiration for this scenery. IMHO they deserve to be recognized to their contribution to our hobby.

Further thanks to RC3R club member Walt for the beautiful job he did on the Korber Silos. They represent the coal bunkers for our boiler house.

Nice stuff Tom, always good to see some industrial items! 

Sirt,

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Sometimes I just run "themes". Today it is New York Central passenger trains...

Additional work on my friend Tom's layout.  Just about every thing pictured was on a layout some where else.  Quite an adventure.  Mike CT.  Most of the litho work was done at a local print shop.   Part of the week was spent dismantling/removing  my friend Matt's layout, . Shelving pictured was Matt's.    

Tom had fabricated this super street section, and the back drops. The two of us set it in place. There is more city scene to be added.

I am very jealous of all the nice work you guys have presented ,

I am waiting for the snow to go, and the warm weather to return  so I can uncover my set up, clean the tracks and begin running my trains once again

last year i had a bit water problem, but the inside look to be fairly dry this time around    so hopefully not much work will be needed before I can put a unit on the tracks...
