Weekend Photo Fun 3-30-12-??

New station for the Jumijo.

Jim,

The Jumijo station came out really nice.  Love the platform.  Where would one by the paper while waiting for the train?  Inside?

Scott Thanks for getting this thread started each week.

The ice dropped in our lake last week over a month ahead of when this usually occurs. So here is a water view for this week's Forum.

Beautiful job on this station Jumijo. Now it is time for the passengers on the platform.

Love the water scene Brian!!

Here are a few pictures "early morning on the railroad..."

Have a great weekend everyone....Alan

My father in-law (who is retired) was bored and asked if I needed anything he could make in his wood shop for my train room. My reply was sure I need a simple box with shelves with grooves to hold extra trains. I gave him the dimensions for the space it needed to go and off he went. He comes back saying it is finished so I go to the shop to check it out. All I can say is WOW so much for a simple box I get back a piece of furniture almost hate to hide it in train room you will notice I said almost.

Jim- nice station!

The pretty little Russian River town of Healdsburg will be one of the stops on the new SMART light rail transit coming late 2014.  Healdsburg’s historic Northwestern Pacific depot will be renovated for commuter use.  Built in 1873 using large redwood beams, this modest passenger station survived the 1906 earthquake.  Tourists vacationing in San Francisco, and who have allowed themselves enough time (about an hour train ride) to visit Wine Country, can sip fine local vino while listening to cool jazz coming from a new gazebo in the Healdsburg town plaza.  Move over pokey cable car, here comes SMART!

Chris,

It's always nice to see Postwar trundling around, particularly in nice scenery!

Here is a kit build I did last year.

Another 2011 Christmas layout memory

Last week for the seasonal shots of the Spring section of the layout:

Visitors come from far and wide:

The kids visit the Easter Bunny to get their baskets loaded with goodies

1st photo shows members from left Ed, Sam, Harold, and Jerry.

You will notice that the ladies are very interested in trains as well. One told my wife that when she was a girl they all wanted trains and used to look forward to new ones from 'Santa'!

The RK Ten-Wheeler attracted a lot of attention with its heavy smoking - they all liked it!

One side of my elevated trolley line is finally done.  Now I can put it in place.

Great pics so far!!!!!

THANKS SCOTT FOR STARTING THIS EVERY WEEK

THANKS TO ALL, ALEX

I am getting around to working on my Elevated Trolley.  It has been something I have been very unsure of how to build.  I changed the design in mid stream.  So the side girders are drywall shims with girders I printed on my inkjet printer then cut out and attached with spray adhesive.  I am not sure if I will decorate the supports or just try and weather them.

My wife and I will be visiting there on our way to Florida in late May.

Who made the Electroliner above???  I know 3rd Rail made one...did MTH???  If so, which one is the CAT'S PAJAMAS???  Thanks, Ron!!!

I'm pretty sure MTH made one too.

Looks great Keith! I like the switch tower.

Caught my favorite steamer out for a run..

Nothing new, so a shot from the vaults.

TMACK...the printed girders look great!!  That really makes a difference!

Thanks Alex...I enjoyed your engine/roundhouse project.

Ron....MTH and 3rd Rail produced the Electroliner.  As far as which one is best...well, I will leave that up to those that own them.  I personally prefered the MTH model because of the PS-2 capabilities...AND...looking at both models, they seem to be really close as far as details go.

Keith...your Lionel orange and blue theme is coming along nicely.  The switch tower is really something...is that one of your creations?

Alan

This is my version of the Redneck Motel

Teddy (sporting new Converse All-Stars) sells papers at the station. Paper Mistah?

Latest Scratchbuilt transformer's

Railking FP45

Dusty...I love it! Only thing missing is a swimming hole!

Thanks, I thought about that. I am thinking of making an above ground pool

I just need to decide how to make one`

On the Bellevue and Schenectady RR now arriving at Rotterdam Junction-The Aerotrain!!

Spring has sprung, and it's a classic story of girl meeting boy... not exactly at the crossroads.  

What we are looking at are the Lionel Girls Train reissue from 1991 and the Lionel Boys Train issued in 2002.  While about 5 Boys sets exist from 1958 (?) I went with the one that was more available to me.

Nice pastel colors that are ideal for this time of year.

With number 8014, the Girls Train was following MPC practice of issuing new numbers to locomotives, even re-issues.  But with the Boys Train, under Lionel LLC management, why not bring back the number 2018?

I like ending off with cabooses.  A powder blue PRR N5c on the Girls train and mint green for the Boys.
