We decided to try a "night run" after this month's business meeting this week at the club. So we fired up the trains and turned off the lights. It gets pretty dark at Angels Gate Park as there are few lights.

 

It was fun, but somewhat challenging as the only lighting was the buildings on the layout, the signals, and the trains themselves. Jim Caccavo managed to get these shots using prolonged exposure:

 

 

 

I got these using the flash on my cell phone:

 

Happy Friday everyone:

 

 

Very cool, Matt.  I really like the first picture, looks like its lit by the moon

Here is my New Lionel NS Southern Heritage Unit...

 

Looks like it will be a B&O week!

 

 

 

That's my kind of photo Brian, lights low, beautiful lit trains and station.  Oh, I see something "peeking" behind the station.........

 

Steve, Lady and Tex

Enjoy your weekend and be safe.

Here are some layout shots from Awesome Train and Hobby that I visited in Ft. Myers FL. recently.

 

 

A piece at the Whippany Railroad Museum, celebrating the Beatles 50th Anniversary  appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show

I found this 1050's advertisement on the bay with artwork of the Texas Special with Texas Alamo in the background so I thought of this from my layout.

Great Work manship Guy! (Kit manufacturer reimbursing you for the water damage

My son and I started construction on our roundhouse. He decided to set up a few cab units to get a feel of what we can expect at Spencer in May.

 

That is truly a novel idea, Wigville. It makes for a very interesting scene on you layout.

Thanks Sam.

No it's one of mine. It's several layers of 1/2 foam over plywood.

A Southern Pacific Daylight locomotive not seen all that often.  Spring seems a good time to share this older photo.  Hope that you enjoy it.

 

Looking good guys!

BTW I made some extensions to the layout so I had to make a few altercations to the joining restroom... still works... same, same...

 

 

Very cool shot!

I just got a pair in too! I dedicate them to my mentor Scott. Hope good fortune comes your way!

 

Some recent weathering.

Here's a shot of the signal installation completed earlier this week on the MARS.  The locomotive #5584 is a B&O T3 by Sunset Models 3rd Rail.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  Bo

You are now a master at weathering. This is wonderful work. Very realistic.

A few shots around the club layout from a few weeks ago. From top to bottom;

The Goose Creek On30 shops. The roster includes 3 2-6-0s, a Davenport, and a two-truck Shay. A shot of the Montour Interchange Track (M.I.T.) at the Montour JCT yard. A real-life AVR train passing by outside. A screenshot of a picture of a Rio Grande coal train on the layout.

 

Now that's an interesting solution!

Here is a brand new service pit & engine house.
