Weekend Photo Fun 3-16-12-??

Random shots around the layout; a lot of new scenery has been added by Tom & George.  A RK RDG SW1500, and Dick's Premier Decapod are in the first few pictures. The sharp eyed will note 2 Lionel sets, PRR FARR 5, and Feather River, are highlighted in several pix, w/ MTH lokes & cabooses replacing Lionel's original items.  The FARR train has 2 Rugged Rails PRR 3-bay Hoppers mixed in.  We're still looking for new members, so please get in touch for a visit, if in the tri-state area.

Mark V. can you take a close up of the arch briges in the background of your layout please?

Track realignment project begins ... replacing 096 turnout with a #4 and relaying the rail to new alignment to eliminate "kinky curve".

I had a chance to do some railfanning while on a business trip to Krakow, Poland

The modern 397 coal loader works a lot better than the original IMO.

The platform and fueling hoses (made of wire and straight pins) 

were made by me in 1970.

Rediscovered in my mother's basement about 5 years ago.

After all these years I don't think I will change them now...

Here are the pair of DD35a units 70 and 72, both powered, running under Legacy in an MU consist. These are really great engines and they ran all day a my friend's layout up and down the grades at low speeds and never varied in speed or stalled all day.

Safety first!!!

great photo's this week

Here's a new to me set of 6400 passenger cars I picked up last week, they are in rough shape but they still look GREAT behind my old 2025!

Kerrigan,

What are you using for your roadbed?

Thanks,

On the girder benchwork I have risers holding up 5/8" A-C plywood with 1/2" Homaboard 440 glued on top of it.  Then I paint it with recycled grey laytex paint.  The Gargraves is screwed into the Homasote but not the plywood, which makes it fairly quiet.
