Welcome to the new forum!

These photos are entitled "I hate building benchwork".  After years of no progress on the “mountain area” of my layout, I finally set myself to get this benchwork moving and went from a flat table to a forest of L girders and four levels of track.  I had this plan in mind for years but never could get over the inertia to get it started until a few sleepless days ago.   Still need to finish securing the plywood base, then add homosote (grr) everywhere.  Then maybe I’ll finally have a full circuit of trains…

Christopher,

Lucia is a doll! You are blessed.

Now that posting photos doesn't take an hour and a half for me...

 

Some work done on the LCN&J lines

Here is the most recent acquisition obtained in an equipment trade. This nice RK 10-Wheeler is the first modern era locomotive of its type I've owned. Used to have a nice Lionel No 1872 General years ago but this new one really shines.  ...and Smokes!

 

Thank you  She had a really difficult birth, but is doing great now.  I really am blessed to have her

 

 

 

Here are a couple of pictures from around my layout.

       Wow this is really great!  This is the first time I have posted pictures to the forum. Here are a few pics of my 10x10 layout. Thanks to all for a great inprovement.

I will give it a try with a PRR  commuter baggage car.

We're also running the beautiful Atlas GM&O F3 cab unit powered by a pair of RK Rs3's. Please indulge me here as you may have seen some of these before. We are gradually building up our 'regional' RR System of different lines around the SOUTHERN. Hadn't planned it this way but with the GM&O, B&O, and C&O among them; Ohio seems to be the common denominator! My Dad was born & raised there (Cincinnati) so I have this as a memory of him.

Nice photos.

 

But here is another complaint I have about the new forum... The photos are smaller!

 

Why fix what ain't broken?

Mr. Nabisco,

The photos are actually much larger.

Click the photo icon and it enlarges.

We are also benefitting from larger upload capacity and resolution.

You'll get used to it.

With the new forum format it is so easy to post photos now.  It only makes sense to participate in Weekend Photo Fun!  Here is a new to me item I got right before Christmas.  It is a Lionel Southern Crescent PS-4 pacific with TMCC, Odyssey and Railsounds.  This is an incredible engine and it will run on O-31 track. 

 

Next up are Lionel Canadian Pacific F3's and 8 aluminum streamliners acquired from forum member c.sam.  I was impressed that a powered unit with 2 pullmor motors would pull all the cars.

A couple of shots from my layout.  Posting photos is so much easier now!!!!

Ryan,

Glad to see you enjoy that Lionel Southern Ps-4!!

It just happen to be one of my favorite locomotive in my collection.

All kids that visited found this to be their favorite train!  Many adults too

DId anyone else notice that some pictures that are getting resized by the new software are showing distorted vertically, like mine above???  THere are several in this thread, like the ones that Scott posted, that are like this.  Some are fine though. 

 

If I click on the little version of mine and it shows up properly.

Here's me and my sister back in December on Christmas day 1982 with my 1st Lionel Layout.

 

Just wanted to try this, nice!

 

We have just dodged a bullet here in Wine Country.  The effort to try and force an election to repeal the sales tax that funds our light-rail project, failed.  The Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) can now start construction.  A $103.3 million contract to rebuild the rail line as far north as Santa Rosa has been awarded.  SMART is now back on track---modern green and white commuter trains should be running late 2014.

The new forum is great, even I can post stuff now! Some scenes from my work in progress.
