Very nice Joe! Was that a kit or your own creation?

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

Great work Jim, glad to see some of your residents stay behind the railings!

Some rookie put in these two. 
I was paid what I consider the ultimate compliment, though -- several people took photos and several asked questions. They were surprised that I can run these on 3-rail track.
Matt,
Nice work, maybe they think we are electrically and flange challenged
The 2 rail wheel sets work OK thru the switches at the club?

They seem to do alright on the #5 (11-degree) Ross turnouts. The C-truck diesels and my Hudson don't care for the O-72's that much (they'll go through them slowly but sometimes bump/derail) but the B-truck diesels (U25's, GP38's, GP35's) don't seem to have issues with them. The only O-72 turnouts are in low-speed areas so they're taken at about 15 SMPH.
The real problem is uneven track where one of the running rails has a rise or depression that lets the small flanges walk out of the rails. Here again, the B-truck diesels pretty much take it in stride, but the C-truck diesels will find those bad spots. They work well with FasTrack curves, though, provided they're 36" radius (O-72) or larger without any reverse-curves.

Added some heavyweight 6 wheel truck HO passenger cars to a layout from just 4 wheel truck streamliners. Those 6 wheel trucks found every darn place with track issues and derailed!! We spent an entire day shimming the track, and some places twice when a later correction made the earlier one bad again...
Prr Joe:
Beautiful job on the new train station.

Anyway, I told Jerry that I wanted to post these pictures on the forum's Weekend Photo fun. I hope you all enjoy them.
Very nice. Do you know what the diameter of the track loop with the auto racks is?
It's an 072 Lionel hi-rail track.
Thanks, Pete.
That scene is one of my favorites.
