WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 3/28/14-??

Great pics, Scott. I was thrilled to hear that you and Joshua won the competition. Looks like I'll have to make it down to one of these North Carolina gatherings.

Keep the pictures coming , everyone......I have a busy office today and the pics will make it go easier!

Here's mine taken from the window of my hotel in downtown Baltimore last week....Camden Station

HERE'S AN OVERVIEW OF IT:

Work continues on "Section &" on the Middle  Division of the PRR:

A pair of RK SCale GM&O RS3's pass along inside the curved viaduct pulling a string of woodside passenger coaches

Work this morning at the loading dock. Have a great weekend everyone.

One of the perks of my job is the annual 8th grade science field trip to the Carnegie Science Center.  Got to spend the day with students and of course I volunteered to chaperone the 2nd level which contained the train village.

Enjoy your weekend and be safe.

Yes sir Peter, just the words that I love to hear when I need to see a Doctor!!!! 

"No Doc, you've already spent enough time with me.  Go and look at more pictures now"

And to TRY to make sure that my intents are clear and non-judgemental I'll post these:

Great pics so far, everyone!

Here's one I found on my phone......clearly a fantasy picture.......no McGinnis livery hold-over engine would look that good in the Penn Central era!

So I see we have photo proof that Ed Boyle made it to the Red Carpet!  Lookin good, Ed.  It looks like it was a great event, Scott.

Bryan, that is a great perk!  I remember visiting the railroad and village when I was in Cub Scouts in the mid '60s when it was at the Buhl Planetarium.  It has been years since we saw it last.

Maybe not, but the benchwork sure looks nice!  

Here's a pic of a new G scale 100 ton hopper that I got at the East Coast Large Scale Train Show at York last week.

And a short slow run-by of my B&O F3 ABA set pulling a freight consist.  This is 2 rail scale even though it is running on 3 rail track.  Only the 2 outside rails are powered.

Rick

that's a good idea, make a train board with red carpet.

New gas station and some new trucks on the layout thanks to Lee from the forum.

progress on my grain elevator model

Here's one of my custom Amtrak Phase V Genesis locos I painted, along with adding some detail to the front pilot (attaching it with filler pieces added) and adding Kadee couplers.

Here's what I got for this week -

Already a Lucia Favorite -

PW Ice car

PW General & MPC Coaches -

Chris, another great posting.  All of your PW items look in great condition.  I always enjoy looking at your PW items and family.....and Texas Special on the back shelf.

Thanks everyone for posting great photo's so far.  Keep them coming.

Steve, Lady and Tex

Mike,

Maybe not, but the benchwork sure looks nice!

That's Mianne pre-fab benchwork, just like mine. Great product!

Thanks. I try to everything clean & nice looking.  I like to be able to pull anything off a shelf & just run it.  Did you see I posted a pic a few weeks back of the Texas Special actually off the shelf & on the layout?

Neal

That section should look pretty good when you are done.  And I like those progress photos. Keep them coming.

Yeah, i know!     I've talked with Peter about Mianne before. (Hence the wink!)   Every time I go to York I stop by Mianne's display and drool over it.  If and when I ever move to a place where I'll have my own larger space I would seriously consider investing in this product.  I love the portability and reusability aspect of Mianne.  Seems like great stuff.  And sure looks better than anything I could build!!  

Some of the 1980's goodies that arrived today new/old stock that had been water damaged but with a little work the rust was removed.Most were made in the US but one in Mexico. Plus donut truck.
