K-Line and Lionel Berkshires. Detail is amazing...

Thanks Scott for the early start!   Here are two night shots I shared earlier on another post. (  Click on image to improved view. )

Just blowing off some steam

Last week I posted photos of the south side of my free-lanced 10’-by-5’ model railroad. Today’s photos show the north side, which also occupies a 5’-by-5’ area. The scenery transitions from a town on the south side to a factory/rural area on the north side. The track crosses a river-valley on two scratch-built bridges (truss and trestle) and enters a tunnel under the north hill. The track exits the south portal of the tunnel onto an abutment and then onto the truss bridge. Even a short train is in the tunnel, on the abutment, and on the bridge all at once. The tunnel and hill are lightweight - made from urethane “stone” walls and carved pink foam - and can easily be lifted off the layout. The track is accessible for cleaning through an opening at the back of the hill. The vertical distance from the riverbank to the top of the hill is 24 inches (96 feet full scale) and creates an impression of size on what is a small O gauge scene. The Chromium Process Company and Bridgeport Tool & Die are scratch-built structures.

Staying with scenes on the right side - dedicated mostly to featuring Halloween "stuff".

Here are some shots of the 11' long Halloween parade - longer if 6one considers that the parade had 2 legs

Here’s some trains running with an overhead view of my layout from this week.

A Lionel "set" I bought my kid back in 1996, a pair of Alco FA units dragging a similarly schemed string of passenger cars:

I've never seen evidence of an all-black passenger scheme for the Reading, so I presume this was a fantasy scheme developed by Lionel's art department. No problem, as it worked well for a kid that was a huge fan of Batman and the Black Ranger, lol.
