Beautiful engine house, Peter!  Is that something scratchbuilt or is it commercially available like that?

"Small layout...Big dreams"

Its a beautiful morning here in the western NC mountains and the new arrival pulled in last evening - our first Legacy steamer!

As much as we anguished over liquidating our K-Line Hudson, the proceeds enabled the purchase of this handsome LIONEL PRR K4.

It will bring the A.T.& S.F. into the 'modern era' in electronics and sounds.

Scott - Your low level shots over the water look really great, especially the light reflections!

Our current project of a Grain Silo Complex has made more progress as Alan Graziano's pictures show below.

Mike.....that's an old IHC engine house kit......I believe Altas O markets it now.

"Late afternoon on the Electroliner"......

Have a great weekend everyone!

Rare model in O –

Such a common car on real railroads, you would think everyone would have produced them in O.

I really don’t understand MRR marketers?

50’ Single Door 

Here's a few of my very tiny layout. I got pushed into the smallest room in the house so it was a challenge to get 2 trains running.

All of these were taken at the smithsonian national museum of american history

TGIF, Thank God It's Friday photo fun. I really look forward to these photos every weekend. Thanks all for posting.

Another 2011 Christmas layout memory.

The summer section of my 4-seasons plateau.

Twilight settles over the park:

My current project is re-lettering stack cars and repainting containers.  The containers will be lettered for my road and for O gauge manufactures.

I also needed to adjust clearances for the Husky stack cars to run on my layout.

After modifying the base of the pedestrian stairs, I had just enough room to allow the cars with containers to pass beneath...

My replica of the Newport Bridge.

Along the Lehigh Line in NJ -

Strasburg Railroad This Past Weekend -

Playing with what's left of the layout -

My new Williams B&O NW2 -

MTH Swiss Freight Cars....

Brian, Very nice picture of your bridge. Thanks for sharing.

Because an All-American town like Liberty needs an All-American hero, we've enlisted the services of Captain America...

And here is a shot of my new C&O GP-7

And here is an older shot in black and white I found while going through my photo file. I don't know what it is about boxcars, but I love them.

Custom-painted 3RS DT&I GP20 with a new angled EMD cab, a la ICG Paducah-built GP11

Seen around Ogden UT Today

In the beginning!

The GG-1 will live forever.

Adding some color to my layout:

Michael, I like your style.  Please post more when you can.

Now Marty, if you would just slide No 4911 to the left a tad, you could, in all likelihood squeeze another one into the front row!

Taking a spin around the layout this morning in observance of Natl. Train Day enjoying the comfort of B&O Observation 'MERCURY'. The new PRR No 1361 provides the motive power to our excursion and performs quite nicely.

Oh waiter - We'd like a tall gin & tonic and a sweet tea for the lady.

I'm glad to see that other people like it. I guess now I will have to post more

Some sample shots for the magazine:

Just finished lettering a pair of Weaver 2-bay hoppers.  Here they are on there maiden voyage.  I purchased them from a forum member along with the MTH 10 wheeler in the lead.

A new acquisition...
