 If I didn't love overhead wire so much, my layout would have nothing but daylight and Black Widow paint. Don

Nice photo, Don! Every time I see that paint scheme, for some reason I think of Spencer Tracy. I don't know why. 

Since its the first weekend of astronomical summer, here's a couple of photos of a baseball scene a friend had on his layout. I never asked him who did the figures or fences.

John, is this why? Don

Always love this thread and this seems like a better than usual one! And they're always great! Thanks guys!

It certainly is! Great actor; great movie!

Got Geeps. New and old NYC Lionel Legacy units.

Here are three from the club today. This first one is a re-worked Walthers Movie theater with a Miller Marquee. This was done by Dave O'Connor aka AGHR_Dave.

This next one is a junkyard being worked on by Chuck Sees

Chuck also put together the stake truck unloading at the Breen building next to the Junkyard.

Bought my 1st CNJ DOT Atlas 3rail car..if anyone has the coaches for sale i'm looking for them

No layout action this weekend.  I did stop by HC for a little while to see a few trains.

Here's some more from the Freestate Junction Railway. The bottom 3 photos shows two cars that I weathered ... Reading hopper & B&O bobber caboose.  Have a great weekend everyone!!

Productive day........we got the raffle layout ready for the Fall. Here's Tom (Gilly@N@W) building the layout module.

Matt,

Actually, David did the theater.  I wish I could take credit for that one, though!

Oops! I stand corrected.

Here's a different shot of the revitalized AGHR harbor area.  We're starting to see a shift away from run-down industrial buildings, and toward a vibrant downtown with lodging, entertainment and dining opportuities:

This corner building was just re-added back to the layout last week after some work:

ATSF 3759 passing behind the harbor area:

...and after playing trains today, I found time to preventative tubing upgrades on my smoke fluid loader.

Very cool Dave!  The tinplate Guy's would love this on the weekend tinplate photo thread.  

Last night Christine and I set out the track in the front room we don't have a lot of things and just before going to Church the sunshine came into the front room so here's the SANTA FE that is not running to good

Thats a nice little MPC engine, If it's got a pullmor motor in it, probably just needs a tune up/ lube and it'll run good again....

I think I struck gold, I tell ya!

These trains are mine!

All Mine! Mine, Mine, Mine!

Great picture guys!!

One more Southern Pacific engine hard at work on a cold morning. Don

I'm adding a small extension to my layout, which will allow another train and maybe eventually another trolley. I'm planning a double crossover here with at least one siding. I will be using 027 curves for budget and I also have a ton sitting around. Will be good for my Postwar and smaller locos. 

Lots of things waiting for the new section to be ready for assembly. Tomorrow, hopefully, the last of the track will be here from Gargraves and Ross.

The new section will also allow a bit more room for the College Park Airport. The National Capital Trackers set up a display at College Park each Labor Day weekend and Christmas. College Park is the oldest continuously operating air field in the world. The Wright Bros taught the Army to fly here, first machine guns fired from an aircraft here, first helicopter flown here, etc. I have a Plasticville hangar, which closely resembles the present 1919 specimen still standing at College Park, where the Air Mail service once was based out of. 

At my LHS, Engine House Hobbies, the owner, Ken, suggested a few Smithsonian kits. I purchased two. Terrible instructions but once things are going, they are nice pieces.  

Ken also had on consignment a few Menard's boxcars. I wasn't interested in the boxcars but when I mentioned that I wanted some of their Military vehicles, he mentioned a few also came with the boxcars. Granted these are modern but they are "good enough" for me and promptly went into my "pile" on the counter!

I also grabbed this N&W Husky Stack, an MTH Railking piece that was an estate collection sample. It has hardly been run. One minor scuff for less than half of a new one!

I hope everyone is staying dry. We are washing away here in S.W. Virginia. If your stuck inside the good news is that Weekend Photo Fun is here to help you pass the time.

 

 

 

 

 

Geez! And here in NJ we are burning up......literally.

Joe what was the cause of the fire?

They are not really sure. One person believes the mulch auto ignited, which I have seen happen, but I'm not really sure at this point. That fire was hot though. This is what the side of the house looks like. 

 

So what your saying is that using coal for mulch is not a good idea.

Great Photos everyone..    I got smart today and used my kids finger instead of mine.  His hurts, mine is fine, for now.   Hope everybody in Virginia is ok. So I guess todays public safety tip today is : Don't use coal for mulch. Just ask NJCJOE.    Here's my contribution

When I asked an old CNW, etc, buddy of mine, "How's the Mrs.?" he replied, "We're praying for spontaneous combustion."

Here are some pictures of my new Pennsy K4 Torpedo.
