It's time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!!!
Here's a photo from last year when I changed my layout to winter.
Several years ago I bought 5 of MTH's Premier 4-4-0's. These have to be some of the most fun trains I have ever purchased. I wish I had 3 more to repaint/reletter.
Let's see your pictures.

I still have some pieces of PW Lionel I received for Christmas in the '50s. It is amazing that anything survived 7 boys in the family.
Anyhoo...The Plasticville station was missing a few pieces so I crafted a replacement building side and platform, painted up a bit. Ok.
Added people and some other items to the platform area - better.
Found some small lights at a GB show in VA Beach -- much better!

Last weekend the club set up at the 12th annual Asheville Train Show. This has matured into a very good show for this area and well-worth visiting.
200 vendor tables and 10 operating layouts. Quite a bit of 3 rail offered too.
Great facility across from the Asheville Regional Airport.
Steve,
That is a nice little station. It has aged very well.

Passenger train collector: Love those brooklin cars, so nice!
Paul S: I never get tired of seeing your layout.
I haven't posted in a long while. Here some favorite pics from the layout.
As always, thanks for looking.

OMGosh, When you look at that cityscape, it is so cool. In just this shot alone, everything looks and feels exactly right - the spacing; configuration; tones and colors. It doesn't look forced into the space utilized; instead, it feels well planned and realistic. There is a whole lot of talent expressed via that shot, and I applaud every bit of it. Congratulations, NickB, on such a successful effort.

That's a beautiful station complex Nick
Murph, c.sam, thank you very much. It has a ways to go yet.

I finally got tired of all the shiney new cars on the layout and took care of one of them! More will follow! I think it looks a lot better than before.
Love what you did here. I have a Matchbox Collector series PRR maint. truck that I did the same thing to but even went one step further. I replaced the plastic roof flasher with an LED one from Evans Designs. I need to go back and make more of my vehicles more dull to hang around!

Peter,
The new website looks great.
Nick B - I don't post very often anymore, but I just had to compliment you on your photos and layout. You have the awesome ability to create a big city look in a reasonable amount of space. Like Moonson says it just looks right, which we all know is not easy to do. Moonson is another great modeler that creates extremely realistic scenes.
I have seen so many layouts recently that have that "all track" look or every square inch has something in it. Yours looks realistic to me. Great job!

Teriffic photos 
Last photo with two K4's - is that a WEAVER in the forground and a Williams in the background?
NickB:
Two thumps up for your pictures and your layout. I agree, everything is in a proper perspective.
Gentlemen, Thank you for all the kind words. Let me just say that good photography angles and lighting hide a multitude of sins. 
Charlie, you are correct. That is the Weaver K4 in front and the Williams just behind it.
Thanks again,
nick
Let me just say that good photography angles and lighting hide a multitude of sins.
It also, helps, as in your case, if you don't have that many sins to hide to begin with
I did the other side of the Train Station Platform yesterday.
I don't post very often anymore,

Why? I look forward to and greatly enjoy every picture and video you post.
Found some very unique trains recently :-)
I also did some work on a small section of town.
Passenger Train Collector:
Nice '55 Chrysler C300. I've got one in 1:18.
Photo of NYC RS11 #8010 switching out some cars at Williamsport. Williamsport is named for my son. Although kind of an "oldie, but goldie" in that it was produced I believe in 2001, the Lionel RS11 is one of my favorite locomotives.
Have a great weekend! Bo

Televue, nice job with the station! I like how you brought the platform right up to the tracks at track level. Looks great! Bo
Great photos everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Richard,
I've been looking for some smallish engine facility structures like what's in your photo. Could you identify them (manufacturer) for me please?
