WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 2-3-12-??

First try at uploading pictures on the new forum.  If it works, it sure is a lot easier.

Thought I'd give it a try.  Here's a few picts of my 5' x 8.75' layout I made for my grandson (and guess who else) a couple of years ago.  It's still not yet completed....Thanks for looking.....  Wow--I can't believe adding picts was soooo easy.  IF I can do it, anyone can do it.  Tks OGR..

My sister didn't take to the hobby as much as I did but she's developed a slight liking to trains.

No this is a roll of paper that I found  in a store that supplies stuff for teachers,  I have not been able to find it in Montreal,  but when  i went to Ottawa visiting my mother  the mall next door had it  

I have one roll left at my son's place with the name of it still on the wrapping, i will try and get him to send me the information off the label and let you know what it is  if you want    but it is paper    and it tears if you let  kittens run all over your  set up ....  let me tell you  from experience  

MTH/RK C&O AS-616 waits to take the main w/ a cut of Lionel C&O hoppers on the Nassau "O" Gauge Railroad Club's layout

Thought I would try my hand at this, here are some photos of my Christmas layout.  Notice there is no snow, because after almost 40 years of switching box cars in Michigan winters, I told my wife there would be no snow.  Notice too my trainwatching assistant, Basil.

Some Christmas 2011 "leftovers" Taken at sundown on Christmas Eve.

Starring attractions were a Lionel Lines 2037 on the outer track

and K-Line Reading Lines 703 on the local track.

Busy little railroad town.

Thanks for the info. I had an M3 and a B2 that I ran through a Leslie 910. My brother stayed with music as a profession and the B2 and Leslie are at his place. The M3 is with my parents. Miss playing them, but 30+ years of computers pretty much ruined my hands.

Let's try this again

One year later we installed the new MTH Bridge Tender Accessory

Great new forum!! Weekend Photos just keep on coming.

I have to say, photo fun posts have picked up since the new forum went into action.

Nice pictures everybody.

Nice shots everyone!

I have a few contributions this week.

Matte,
Hog Wash. Take it from a guy who spent 40 years beating and banging with his hands,twisting and turning screw drivers so he could get a dern good case of carpel tunnel and arthritis in his fingers.
You just have to loosen them digits up. I've had some pretty rough patches in my life and I probably wouldn't be here today without those 88 keys. Nothing on this planet relaxes me more. Trains are fun but they don't even come close.
I bet if you brought that M3 back home for a while you'd be surprised how much magic is still in those fingers of yours.

There is a lot of action in that 4 x 8 space Miss. Great detail as well. I love the Ted's Root Beer sign. I have to find the o scale version.

Some Strasburg Action:

The Aerotrain was spotted leaving Lionelville Station...

It was later seen arriving at Main Street Station...

Special Texas cars on display today at the Temple, Texas station.  There were long lines of people to view the special cars.

1st time posting photos.

More test photos.

This is a large round of photos, this week.  Yesterday, it took me over a half hour to go through this thread.  I spent another twenty minutes on it today.  Its nice seeing several layouts that haven't been on here before.

Lot's of nice photos everyone

I just have to post this one again.....

OK thank you for the help Robert

Last fall at Jim Thorpe, PA.

My first attempt at posting pictures to OGR!  Pics from the local G&W in Retsof, New York. Plus my Rich Yoder GE44 Ton in Lackawanna Black.

Thanks..

If this helps you, I used styrene from Wal-mart 15"x19" .030" FOR SALE signs  for the body with Evergreen styrene square for inside the body surport. The rear power truck is from a Lionel GP (6-18853) that has the can motors in the trucks.  The slug frame is a old Lionel GP dummy frame. The MU cables are RC airplane 18" servo extensions cut in half with the female end glued under the front of the GP7u slug mother. The MU cables are for the LED lights, the Powered front coupler, the DC can motor and for the center and outside rails for AC power to the slug mother. (9 wires total but only 8 used) I weighted the slug with BB's in the styrene fuel tank but it needs more weight in the body.

Here is my project for this week in honor of brother Ben, bluelinec4.

Hope you all enjoy the Super Bowl.
