Weekend Photo Fun 5-3-13-??

My Williams GP30 having a run on the club layout.

As part of my ongoing renovation project, the Newport Bridge finally got the lights that really show it off. Today I am adding blinking red lights for the top of the two towers.

Brian very nice shot over the top of yout Rounghouse. You really are making wonderful progress.

Longfellow PA, summer 1966, PA route 103 in the background.  The twilight of the Pennsy.

Single car garage

the simplicity combined with details captures Central Pa like no other modeler, great work Neal. Reminds me of all those trips on rte15 before it became a highway

The BR&P passenger train is waiting for a clear signal to depart the depot. The PS&N freight will follow.

Charlie, what is the foot print of this little jewel?

Neal

Absolutely great, and well composed, scene.  As it aptly shows, the key to realistic modeling is not only knowing what to put in, but what to leave out.  Is the house in the background O Scale, or did you force the perspective?

John

Nice photos all, great work on the garage!

Love those Big Mac's,

Yeh the burgers are nice but the trucks are great. Picked up a couple of more will fit nicely on the layout, Mac D in front of the MTH early MacDonald's. Found these at a diecast shop. Some 1/50 scale classics by Corgi, nice grader by 1st gear and the trailer is similar to the one that Atlas now has advertised. 1/43 model is one of the cheap plastic toys you can find at some toy shops.

Also was at a model rail convention and saw these great looking 1/48 scale scratch built models on display. Wow he won a # of awards with them and some really great final detail and weathering.

Aging my Y6b...

That's a spectacular shot in every aspect, including the photography.

A 2012 Christmas layout memory

Word on the street is that Jim P's police force chased all of the Homies away.  They found a new hangout apparently.

Happy Friday... next area of Work in Progress!!

Next up….

Have a great weekend everyone!

kj365, really nice attention to detail on these flats.

The Mack McDonald's tractor/trailer is neat!  The Mack 6X's series tractors are perfect for late 50's.  I have a pair of these "Matchbox" creations plus, a Texaco tanker and commercial dump truck by Franklin Mint and other Mack 60's they just fit!

Good Ole' Brooklyn!

Running some PRR on the club layout earlier this week.

Lionel K4, Wms AB FAs, and RK passenger cars

The warm weather of May brings out the carnival guests.

Gave the AEM7 a coat of dull spray to get rid of the chrome shine.

I just bought this atlas chessie 6 bay cyl. hopper off of forum member today 

Great photo's everyone

Great picture's everyone. Alex i like your C&O passenger cars.  

Alex,  your whole harbor scene is really terrific!

Spent the day railfanning in the High Falls Gorge area in D&H country.

Lots of wildlife in the area, too.

All too soon light began to fade and photography became difficult.

Jim

I usually post early but have been in classes all day and just got home.  Anyway, hope all of you have a great weekend!

Making O27 track look more realistic. 

I really like that garage, were the hinges included?  I have a good friend that works for AMB.

Since there is no Santa Fe so far, one of my reworked Lionel Santa Fe F units.

yes. hinges were included with the kit.

Great photos everyone!

Nice work Jim.....as always. I am planning an area somewhat like this...hope mine is half as good.

Sorry ,bout that, but I was posting from my iPhone, and I couldn't post my pictures, so I had to upload them to my PC. Our train club had our open house (O guage pics only shown) and we went to the Pittsburgh amtrak station.

A sad day in the Richmond VA metro are for us train guys!

This went up last Saturday.

I congratulate Adrian on his retirement......but an institution for us locals is going to be gone!

Scott, great look.
