Weekend Photo Fun 4-18-13-??

Had something interesting happen this afternoon. We were shutting down at the club and a couple dropped by and gave us a Marx train set. Well, despite some of us being 3-rail would-be rivet-counters, we have a weakness for dead/dying post-war. We've literally dropped what we're doing to take a crack at fixing post-war engines. Go figure.

So, while the couple was looking over the layout, Jack field-stripped the locomotive and he and Dave O'Connor removed a bunch of caked on tar-like grease mixed with dead bugs, lint, and dirt and got the mechanism running. Here are a few photos.

The cleaned out mechanism.

Jack's putting the patient's innards back together.

Here it is zipping along the staging yard.

Regarding the York Hot Dog Fest, up at Angels Gate High Railers, members host a hot dog barby-q for open house.   Just a few pictures for weekend photo fun.

It's a good thing the wife didn't see these photos...

...especially this one:

OMG, Matt!!! That's SO embarrassing.  Putting your foot disrespectively on a toy train box.

Mike Slater: as a former Girls, Money and Overtime (GM&O) employee, let me say that,

though I have never heard the phrase (yours?), back in the 70's, it was so. 

Some freight action.  Matt

Alan,

I am glad you post pictures of that refinery every once in a while. I always enjoy looking at it. I have said it before " you captured the feeling of a refinery"

VERY Nice pictures THIS WEEKEND. Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was the ketchup on a hot dog. 

Matt, please tell us that was actually sausage and peppers with tomato sauce.

Close. They were hot links, where the meat is there to hold the spices together. The mustard was applied first. Everyone knows you don't put ketchup on a hot dog -- it's a criminal offense in some parts of the country.

As for the foot on the box, it was a balancing act. No freight cars were endangered or harmed in the posing of the photograph.
