Weekend Photo Fun 7/31/15 HONG

I purchased this nice reefer recently at a great price, the only problem is I found out I already have the same one. Oh well nothing wrong with having at least two of the same (or more).

My N scale PRR passenger set with an Arnold GG1 and five passenger cars. The next to last photo shows two vintage Atlas cars purchased by me in the late 1960's. They are some of the very few train items I still have from my youth.

Wow Glenn, that's quite a collection you have.

I need to get out there and take more pictures. I spent some major time on re-ballasting. Mother nature remind me how much it takes to run a RR! I did take a break and look at converting my USA Dockside to command. Too many engines on deck at one time!

Good photos everybody!

BT: Wow!  That's the same packaging my Tyco Santa Fe GP20 came in back in the early 60s!  IF I ever find a Santa Fe in the box like those UP's, I'll be all over it.

A blast from my HO past, a converted AHM B&O 2-10-2 in the prehistoric year of 1976 at the Oak Park club:

Great picture's everyone!

Rusty:

Are those vintage pics, or just a vintage engine? What did you do to "convert" it?  Looks mighty nice in the pics.

Both of the above.

Here's a pic of the original from the HO Scale Resource:

An NKP Berk tender, Cal-Scale, wire and a little body work removing some of the cast-on detail and making the four sand domes into two. The innocence of youth and the lack of fear attacking what was a a moderately expensive ($49.95 at the time) locomotive

This is one of the few AHM reworks I kept.  Here's a more recent picture:

Rusty:

Thanks for elaborating on what'cha did. Even by today's standards, it looks great!

Okay... time to post a pic!

Here's my latest acquisition. It arrived this past Friday.

Now, why in the world would I want a Tennessee Central engine on my KC Lines layout that has a Kansas City theme??

Well, the answer to THAT silliness is over here in THIS thread...

A couple of pictures from my HOn3 San Juan Scenic RR...

Here is Bachmann's N scale 44 tonner....a very nice model of a small prototype in N scale.

A little late to the party this weekend, but since I'm still on vacation, it is still the weekend. 

Northern Pacific 1984, a Class W-5 mikado, drifts into the arrival tracks at Worley Yard on the Spokane Southern. 

Model is a Key Limited import from 1984 if I recall correctly.  I have a couple of more of these to paint, and this guy needs a trip to the spray booth for weathering.  Before I do that I want to install a Soundtraxx Tsunami sound decoder in her.  

One of the problems with building a large home railroad is I get hung up on the layout building, and don't spend time building / painting / weathering motive power and equipment.  As soon as I get the main line back in operation, and start op sessions again, that has got to change.

Hi Jerry!

Nice model!

You've got some cool stuff in your HO collection.

Hint of the week: Your YouTube channel only has 3-rail videos... don't fergit yer HO layout!

Here is a video i did last night of my new atlas csx gp40-2. 

Nice video chessie1971. Love the N scale. 

Thanks Dave!
