Weekend Photo Fun 7-10-15-??

Some shots from Monroeville Greenberg day 1:

 

Some Bessemer steam:

 

Lots of Weaver represented today:

 

And some cars with custom loads:

 

Although the smoke was turned down when I took the above AFT shot, I had it turned up to the max for a little while, and it was a show-stopper.   It would make it a whole two times around the layout before the smoke needed re-filled.

Andy great photo's!!

Here is picture's of USPS 1:43 scale truck. I bought this at CVS and paid 5.99 for it. 

We ran our new PRR S-2 at the club again today...

 

 

...and this afternoon, we tried our hand at hand-drawing graffiti with paint pens.  Here is the result for my first-ever attempt:

 

 

 

...and here is how it came out for my daughter (age 5).  I was impressed with her art skills!  Kind of impressionist

A few photos from the North Penn O Gaugers Open House today. A big thank you to Harry Henning, GunnerRunnerJohn, Bill P. and the rest of the crew for a great day!





My grandson Harry taking his first lap around the layout.

Awesome picture's Lionelgrandpa!

Dustin i like your roadrunner cars LOL! 

That hurts, Dustin. Good job, but seeing that on a CNW car hurts.

 

On another note, photographed the Zito yellow cars mentioned in an earlier post outdoors. No wonder James Zito liked that color for better visibility. It's loud.

 

Lionel Chessie System cars made in the 1990's.

Out of all your really nice views, I find this motel vista to be exceptional and wonderfully executed. We can tell when somebody has modeled what they have seen as a prototype in real life because the truth of it is present. Really nice.

Happy Sunday Funday!

 

 

 

 

Matt,

 

Well, if it makes you feel any better:

 

(1) This particular CNW hopper has multiple issues (broken steps, missing brake wheel, snapped detail parts, scuffs, plastic trucks) and required intensive care from Dr. Elmers to even get in run-able condition. ...so it was a good candidate for some practice weathering.

(2) This is the only  CNW piece of rolling stock in our fleet, so we don't have any others to desecrate 

(3) I'll let you know when we run it at the club, so you can avert your eyes

 

Oh, and those zito yellow hoppers look really nice!  Good find!

 

 

 

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!  The drawings came out much better than I had any right to expect!

love the road runner and Wyle cars. been a fan of them forever, and having a road runner in the garage helps.

 

Matt,

 

    Yes, I remember when I saw C&NW caboose with Zito yellow, I said "Whoa! that darn so bright!"

My building's interior is finished.  Now maybe some sidewalks, street lights, and a few people out front and its ready for the layout!  

 

I picked up my Long Island Railroad N5C caboose today, a perfect companion to my Long Island 2-8-2 Mikado and freight train and I expect it will also be a perfect companion to my on order MTH Premier Long Island 44 ton switcher. I also expect it find a place on my Long Island RR passenger train occasionally. 

Passing through Butler, PA on Saturday, the B&P had quite a bit of power at the shop as you can see from the sidewalk on the PA Rt 68 bridge.

First we have the B&P 3063 and 462 with the grey WCOR 6072.

 

A pair of B&P GP38s- 2000 and ex-Con 7822 parked next to the idling red R&S 3807/807 slug set and B&P 874.  LTEX GP15s in yellow and blue are in the background.

A better-lit shot of the 6072, 3063, and 462 with the 2003 and genset 1401 in the background

Great picture's Andy!!

Modified Lemax St Patrick's Church.  Placed copper steeples on both sides and weathered with 3 parts red wine vinegar and one part Miracle Grow. 

Lots of good stuff everyone!

 

I have never seen anyone do a welcome sign that had the local clubs and organizations on it in o-scale.  I love that detail!
