Action on the Seattle & Yakima RR

My 9700 series boxcar and 9800 series alcohol car collection.

A couple of odds and ends.

It's sooo cold out there in the garage.  Time to take a picture or two and that's about it!

The boneyard behind Ethyl's Gas is coming along nicely.

The logging spur is getting closer to looking like I tried to make it look decent!  

H10 #500 arrival

Thanks to Alex Malliae, this Shell storage tank makes a nice addition to the refinery area. When it cam time to pick a product name, has to go with Shell Oil as yellow is my favorite color.

Some more of the winter scene area - given that here in the Northeast it is still definitely winter!

For Perspective purposes:

Have a Great Weekend!

Tis Friday and this will be a good  weekend to work on the layout!

2 ft of snow and high of 20 degrees!

Got to run a Cab forward and a vision line challenger on the layout last weekend... great engines.

DK's M1a's...

Hi Scott,

I enjoy looking at your steam powered NYC F Unit. I didn't know that any of these were made. Hot digity dog, I gotta get me one.

Great effect!!  Very prototypical!!

A 3-unit ES44AC tank train traverses the main line:

Some of photos from my friend's, Vernon Hart, layout. I think he is a master at this.

I am very fortunate to have him has a train buddy. Hope you feel the same about your friends.

Received my new New Haven snow plow today from Aurora Rails and Hobbies. Just in time for the next storm.

16 Tons and what do you get....

A B&O peddler freight passing LP Tower.

High Depot in curve replaced by low Depot to enable unobstructed view of structure behind:

That's a nice station!

Pictures of my brothers former std gauge layout

Weathering efforts continue.  Here is a short string of some old Weaver 2 bay hoppers.  I did the airbrushing/weathering, and my son Steven scratch built the coal loads.  I'm gonna take a break from the weathering for a while, and work on some scenery for a bit.

Walt---you're pics are very appropriate with the recent weather!  I actually watched the last half of Deck The Halls on HBO last night.

Here are some Lionel GP9s pulling freight on the main -

After much back & forth, I really wasn't feeling this current setup, so I pulled it down during the week. Decided that the postwar display layout worked best for the space & it really had 'something' that made it special, so in a twist of irony, I am using my own CTT article to rebuild it pretty much exactly how it was. This should be fun - never had to compete w/ myself, lol. I must say, my wife was very understanding. This gives me a chance to correct some issues I had w/ the original one Live & learn

My goal - get back to this -

A few more pics from my recent PA trips -

NS GP40-2 3011 ( ex CR 3294) leads Lewistown bound local C42 through Huntingdon, PA - 11/22/14

NS SD70ACe 1100 leads 10N past HUNT Tower on the Pittsburgh Line- 11/22/14

Norfolk Southern's newest SD60E rebuild (at the time) leads eastbound 12G around the sweeping S curve in Tyrone, PA on the Pittsburgh Line. NS 6987 was rebuilt from the infamous NS SD60 6666 - 11/22/14 -

NS 37A rounds the S curve at Tyrone, PA w/ NS 8-40C 8313 (ex CR 6048) leading - 11/22/14 -

Before leaving, wanted to get a few more shots at Mid-Grade on CONUS Lines.

1.  Upon arrival a Bakken oil shale train of MT tank cars was rolling downgrade as an eastbound double stack, partially obscured on the far track, worked upgrade.

2.  The caboose of the westbound oil train (all CONUS Line trains, regardless of era, run with cabooses) was just clearing as the Distributed Power Unit appeared on the far track.

3.  Patience rewarded!  Got the shot I was looking for, NS Heritage (PRR) ES44AC #8102 serving as the DPU on an eastbound stack train.  I packed the camera gear in the car, and headed west.

Chris,

I really enjoy your shots of the former Middle Division of the "Standard Railroad of the World!"

This is the only thing i got new some mth railking 16 piece road signs. 

It's blurry, but it's what I did while snowed in a couple of days ago.....

Fabulous pics, everyone!
