Weekend Photo Fun 6-7-13-??

This was parked on a siding behind the plant where I work. It is MOW equipment belonging to the Canadian Pacific.

 

It would make an interesting piece to model!

 

Something from a few years ago.

"Small layout...Big dreams"

The replacement power truck for my Amtrak/DOT Turbo Train arrived Monday afternoon. Greased it up and re-installed it in the locomotive. Now it's back on track (pun intended) and runs great. Can't wait for its stablemate to arrive later this year.

 

 

It seemed well suited for the mountain branch which runs in a loop-to-loop arrangement. The nice thing about this trainset is that you don't have to turn it around.

Rocks, rocks, rocks rock!

Newly arrived Red Comet set (PS3) from LCT.

 

 

 

Here's my latest, once satisfied on arrangement I will start landscaping around it.

 

Jim...you are certainly "rockin"!!

Neil,

I always enjoyed your work and throught highly of it.....but after my visit to Harrisburg to ride 765 I like your work even better!! It was my first rail fan visit to the area so I now have a better understanding of the area you model. Great work...

Recent addition of the Black 400e to go with Milw Rd State Cars.

 

 

 

Finally got some sunny warm weather to work on outside track layout 

 

was able to finish  placing the rocky  bordering river bed  between my two tables.

 

Last three photos taken before I had to tarp things up once more and get out of the rain 

On a rainy Friday night, I was going through a box of track I picked up recently. Though you might enjoy this.

 

GREAT work and photos everyone!!! Neil: scenery is fantastic! SIRT: congratulations !! Jim: You ROCK! Mike CT: Any chance of drawing of your track plan? I really like the crossings!!

I have some old Marx track like that too that my father bought for me when I was a kid in the early 1960's!

Went to Strasburg with my family and rode the train. Had a great time. David

SIRT,

My grand kids are the reasons I went deeper into toy trains. The kids love to run trains on my layout. Start thinking about a starter set for your grandchild. Santa brought sets for my grandchildren when they were 2 years old.

Thursday, June 6 was my 29th Birthday. My Friend's brother had wanted to take a trip to the Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn. So the 3 of us went down to the famous "EX" Court Street Station

 

Some new model shots from my last trip to Arizona..

 

Transit Museum! Are you a Dashing Commuter?!

Have a great weekend everyone! Getting ready for a dinner party tonight. I just set the table with some mood lighting & citronella all in one. My two trusty railroad lanterns do a great job keeping the bugs away. 

 

 

 

Great photos everyone!

I'm old enough that I remember Dad taking me to the HUGE Sears in downtown LA and buying Marx USED track with the black roadbed for TEN cents each!  Good times!!!   THX

 

Gary, I second that!  Exceptional Patrick!  Bo

Had a few people over to run trains yesterday

 

 

 

 

 

 

switching the plastics factory

After a marathon work session, I finally have my Auto-Train consist upgrade to LED lighting:

The last two cars are from the second run of Superliners (with the black-painted window frames). These had a tan-colored insert rather than the gray of the earlier run, hence the different color.

 

I actually have four more MTH Superliners, plus four each of K-Line and Lionel versions, but they aren't going to be part of this train, and thus are a lower priority (but will eventually get upgraded too).

 

Now all I have to do is install the motorizing kit in the dummy Genesis unit, and put the Evans LED's in the lead unit. 

...

(and clean up the living room--it's been a year since I took the test track out of service in order to stage the cars for this project)

Here's a few shots of a Pennsy boxcar I got in trade from a fellow forum member this week.

Fantastic looking as always!  Thx for sharing!

 

Awesome shot!

At Fair Park, Dallas, Tx.  The Big Boy didn't make the trip to Frisco today, as there was an unrelated derailment along the route.  A new date is in the works.  #49 was used to push/pull 4018 through some motions today.
