WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 4/11/14-??

A busy day at Woodside Station

We have a nice trestle almost completed by club member Jon who has been primarily an HO modeler. It should be installed this weekend for our monthly open house tomorrow

Here is a pair of Geeps we call "The Daily Double" sitting atop a trestle near town. They make the run back and forth from a paper mill to a branch facility several time daily

RogerC, that is a MTH model of C&O's M-1 coal fired steam turbine electric.  Three were built and run for a short.

Here is a pic of three different coal fired steam turbines.

Bobby, that is one nice photo. Sam, that new trestle is just beautifully done. You have to keep this member into strictly O-Gauge.

I have one of the C&O Turbines too.....my first scale loco in O. And yes it looks a little silly on O-72 but it's such a great loco I had to have one. Mine will run on O-90 so it looks a little better.

I had to have it as the real train ran near my house....when I am in the area I envision this monster running here so many years ago. Great photo PRR!

Another hunt comes to an end.

WOW!  That thing is a beast!  I googled some images, absolutely massive.

Here are some more pix from the PIHR's last run on PatrickH's layout (3/26/14):

J Daddy who makes this gas station?  It looks just like the Little Tavern burger place I used to frequent.

Andy, great photo's.  What does Patrick have for a control panel for the layout?  I've seen other photo's of the layout but not the control area.  Thanks for posting.

Steve, Lady and Tex

Passenger Train Collector, I appreciate your comment. Thanks.

Chris, these CR camp cars are terrific!  Thanks for sharing the pics.

He really didn't have a "control panel" per se.  He had a single ZW-L, Legacy base, DCS and the controller(s) for the switches.  He had a separate control for his turntable.

I never took a picture of this area because there really wasn't much to see beyond the ZW-L.

MR.  KJ356,  THIS PIC IS FROM 2012, AND I would like to know if the wall is

Jumped out of the truck, just in time to catch Lionel's weathered B&O RF-16's #855 & #857 exiting the South Mountain tunnel with a string of hoppers.  Photo courtesy of Mid Atlantic Railway System    Bo

Andy,

Those pictures are just great. I love the picture of the tank car going across the switch.

Alan Graziano

Wallace & the gang out for a run in the spring sun.

Matt:

Love the photo of the SPs.

Bo:

That is an outstanding photo. Very nice composition.

I thought I'd post a few pics before I tear down my layout.

Doug

Doug N,

Very good looking layout.

Joe B.

Spring has finally arrived at the club. A few hundred new trees are growing on the mountain. I think it will need close to 1000 to cover both sides.

IS that a railroad man standing there?  Or maybe o poor college student dissapointed that the others are riding the Congressional while he is waiting for the hole in the floor, grinding MP-54's ....

Its an American Model Builders laser cut kit. Easy to build and they come out great...

Pictures of cottage as requested. Hope this is what is needed.James

Attn: Alibatwomble...

James...thank you for the images of the cottage...just what I needed...my version will be similar...but in a winter/snow version...

My very best regards...Howard...

Thought I'd take my 3751 to Rail Days in San Bernardino yesterday.

That Western Maryland is mine. He does great work.

Nice pics.  Where were these taken at?

Top of the post says San Bernardino yesterday .... If you're not familiar with that, it's Southern California (about 60 miles east of LA), in front of the Depot.  

Forgot that was this weekend. An O Scale 3751 sitting on 3751 certainly puts the size in perspective. Nice photos, Doug.

Perspective for sure.... and I always thought the 3751 was so big, but spending so much time near the 4014 recently...... Well, the 3751 looks tiny now.

Thanks Joe B.  It will be a bummer when I start to take it down.

Hello Andy, The B&O Pacific, is it a scale engine? Who made it? I love to get one, I have seen it by Lionel but it was not scale , more traditional.

Thanks

John

Doug,

Your layout does look great!  Sorry to hear you're taking it down, but thank you for sharing the pictures!

Chris,

Those camp train vans are incredible!  I didn't even know those kits existed, and the assembly work appears top notch!

 Now, that's a real man's brake valve.

Good photos, Doug.  Memories are boiling over.

What is the ruling grade on that connecting rod?

Nice pics! (And as Mr. Baron would say, "Holy Cow:-)

What is the overhang on that thing front and rear? O72 correct? Always wanted one.
