There seems to always be interest in the striking PRR T1 and new stories emerge whenever she is mentioned. Yesterday on another thread a member commented that "If the T1 couldn't run at 120 MPH she needed to be worked on". What a locomotive!

Well, PennDOT officially cleaned out the homeless camps under their overpasses here in the 'burgh over the last week. 

Visible here is one of the newly cleaned out areas under the overpass:

The homeless set up a new camp last Photo-fun Friday and welcomed more newcomers this week:

These are really pretty Brian - Are they early (pre 2000) MTH Premiere models?

I am close to finishing a Thomas Yorke kit.  This has been a fun project.

Sam:

I purchased the MTH Premier ABBA combo back in 2002, so you might be correct with the issue date. I run the diesels with the Lionel 15" seven car Texas Special set. This makes a very nice passenger train.

All the way!

Love those SF units, very nice,

PeterA: Good match!

I hope the soon to be released Neil Young Lionel version of the Texas Special looks as good as these.  Nice looking set.  Neil Young set should be arriving next month......I hope.

Finally got some sun time and was able to uncover my  outside set up  and spend a bit of time running my favourite  loads

Beautiful pictures of those very nice Sante Fe F units.

TALL TIMBER TERRITORY

Very nicely done, Charlie!

Great pictures everyone!

lazy summer days: a few reruns

Haven't run anything in awhile

Good morning, it's been awhile since I've posted any photos.  Been busy I guess.  I did finally, wrap up work on my Cronin Oil and Fuel Company and it is now on the railroad taking deliveries.  It actually is the Delores Conoco Plant, a kit produced by Ragg's to Riches that I built because it fit the space I had available so well.  It is the most challenging thing I've ever built.  Hope you like it!

Here PRR F3 AB set #95 can be seen rumbling past the water tower outside Maryville.  The F3's do not get nearly as thirsty as the old steamers.  The benefits of dieselization are being seen even on the MARS.

Guess who got caught because he took pictures of a train my wife didn't know about?

Scott Smith

Scott, maybe it would help if you didn't show the pictures to your wife after you take them.

Rick

This photo was not meant to be a reply to RICKC. My apoligies.  I'm trying to learn how to post pictures correcyly.

Me neither.

Jim

Scot just send it to me and then you can tell her that it is not your train

Looks kinda cramped in there. Maybe time for N gauge

Tex Steve:

I think that I recently read something about an upcoming 18" set of Texas Special passenger cars in the Niel Young series for the upcoming catalogs. Stay tuned.
