Since I am stuck in a hotel room off of Route 30 in Pennsylvania, I'll start Weekend Photo Fun early.
This past week I added a 3 foot addition to the tinplate layout. As its stood I was unable to run my Hiawatha on that level. Adding the additional length allowed me to remove the tunnel that was causing the issues.
Let's see your pictures.

Last weekend for the NYO&W on the layout(s) for a while......March 29 is the 64th anniversary of its demise.
Have a great and safe weekend folks.....

I have video that the New York Central 1297 4-6-6T ended up on the West Shore......well, at least on my railroad 
.
We see a NYO&W train out of Weehawken bound for the Catskills while the NYC suburban 1297 does a commuter run.......

Here’s a grab shot I took last night for a friend showing a US postal truck passing under the PRR railroad mainline at the old US 11/15 underpass at Duncannon, Pa.
Slurpy, anyone?

I really wish Miller would re-release that version of the Westinghouse sign again!
Another week showing the temp 7'x8' Easter layout that I set up out of boredom being stuck inside. A secondary reason is that I have so much nice layout stuff for Easter that I could never use it all on my 11'x14' Christmas layout and I dislike having to pick and choose which items to use for the years that I have an Easter section on it. So I wanted a chance to see all of the items used.
Here's a reminder of what it looks like to give perspective to the closeups below:
I've been accumulating these Easter themed ceramic buildings and now have found 10. They have an opening in the bottom to insert a light which is a nice bonus.

I like it because, if you remember, he was originally going to cancel making it for lack of info. I went to the history center in the strip and dug up info and sent it to him. he then decided to make it. He gave me one as a thank you gift.
I did have issues with it though and have had to have it replaced - TWICE. He said that the sign was causing issues so he didn't want to keep making it.

Happy Weekend To Everyone.
ATSF Cabs finished. I really enjoy this thread every week!
Looked through my files and found a photo of the prototype of the bridge picture I posted above taken of the other side of the bridge a few years ago...

Stuck in a garage....somewhere near the swamps of Jersey.
Patrick,
GP20's are my favorite diesel engines and those look wonderful. May I ask about your yard lamps...scratch built or prefabricated?

Wallace White has Fairbanks-Morse H16-44 2807 wide open as the Third District Local ascends the 1.5% climb up off of the rolling plains onto the caprock.

Dave,
Thanks. They are from Atlas O, made in Germany. I have 9 on my layout.

Great weekend stuff guys. I've been forgetting to get my behind in here to have a look the past couple of weeks. Good that I got a look today though. I will have to go back and look at the past couple of weeks to see what I've been missing.
