Sooner or later NS going to get tired of you shrinking their engines and putting them on your layout.

Tuesday tested and pick up this engine at local toy train dealer.

A thanks to fellow forum member Mark Boyce for pointing me to it.

Normally I test for a couple of hours but was hurting a little so cut it to one-hour.  Everything worked perfectly.  Start-up/shutdown, forward/reverse, front and rear couplers, horn/bell, speed control.  Only tested to 60-SMPH because of shorten time.  Did not see how slow it would go but did run it around the loop at 2-SMPH with no hesitations.

I agree about the Manual  But there is nothing anybody can do about it.  But one thing we here can all agree on is the BL face is something only a mother could love. 

SO much FANTASTIC stuff this week!!!!! Almost to much!!!

Chris your layout looks better every week!!!! Great inspiration!! And as I have nothing new I'll steal one of your photos......

The last tall building on the left......my office was in that building for a number of years.  I don't miss Charlotte but enjoy your photos. Thx

As usual great pics and a nice way to start the weekend. The story tellers (Frank, Gandydancer1950), and Patrick always enjoy seeing your layouts, Walt don't forget to grab some ice cream for the rest of us. The Wienermoble, That thing seems to shows up everywhere, now I cant get the tune out of my head . So here is mine contribution, my latest CB&Q waycar addition.

Some detailing to a MTH station. Painted the windows, added mortar to the bricks, window shades.

Paper recycling, #1341 ................

today, I'm tell'n ya....

we just ain't gonna fit....and I ain't pushing us out when you get us stuck in there.....

Some real fantastic photos  thank you all for posting

This week we went to Weston WV and visited the historic Insane Asylum there.  Way to large to model but a smaller cut sandstone structure would be cool. And to make this train related.....directly behind me WAS the B&O trackage that my great grandfather left from every other day on his way to Richwood, WV. Tracks are all gone today...now a parking lot. But we still traced the roadbed for a while.
