Scott: OUCH

A 2023 Christmas Layout memory

Another mini-scene from the right side:

For perspective. When I use the drive-in scene, I like to keep it near the "town", as small as it is.

At York at the moment….

Here are a few photos from previously that I’ve had on my phone. First, split  entry heaven…

and my model of the same:

And here the Interior of my model of Original Italian Pizza in Mapleton, Pennsylvania, that I am modeling:

That’s it for now. Heading to the blue Hall to look at trains. Enjoy!

Custom painted GP38

Photos and video show Pennsylvania Railroad G-5s Ten-Wheeler #5740, an MTH model (20-3031-1, $699.95, PS1) delivered in March 1999, on my 10’-by-5’ layout with boxcars and cabin car #477879. I’ve been running this engine for 25 years with a BCR.

You do an exquiste job capturing the simple scenes and life that make up central Pennsylvania.

Trainbros89, Is that the Flat Iron Building next to the Chrysler Building?  Not Sure if that's the NYC Building or the Met Life Building and I don't recognize the red tower building at all.

I much as I enjoy my multi-level tinplate layout at the club, I am reminded of the dangers of a layout like this.

1)Tinplate trains tend to stay coupled if they derail.

2) Trains that derail have to stop somewhere.

A tinplate derailment is always a heartbreaker.  Hopefully, no major scratches or dents on that one.

From left to right, it goes: Flatiron, Chrysler, Woolworth and Singer building.

Have a great and safe weekend, folks!

C. Sam those NP colors are gorgeous.

I spent the last week out in San Fransisco for work so I really didn't get to make any progress on the scenery front. I did finish the scene in front of the interlocking tower before I left though.  The NH F3s and 2025 decided to be the first engines to pose for pics in the new scene.

I also found time to run some trains - 1983 GN FARR #3 set, 1975 Spirit of America set and 1985 uncatalogued Wabash GP9 with some woodside reefers.

Chris, you have some beautiful MPC engines. I love them all.

Thank you Jim!  They bring back some great memories of running trains as a kid with my dad & uncle

Running trains at York in the Black Hall with the SGMA…

Brill model 660 doodlebug of PRR 4666 recently acquired for service on my future NY&LB layout.  When in the future?  Great question!

@Craignor - I really enjoy watching your SHORT but interesting videos.  I'm glad that you continue to post them.  I especially like the one this week - that tin-plate set is a beautiful thing to watch
