Weekend Photo Fun 8-14-15-??

Activity around the Ice House and Ice Dock

Beautiful night shots, Roger!!

Andre.

One of the two PATH railcars that survived the WTC collapse on 9/11 was donated to the Shore Line Trolley Museum on 8/6/15. Here it is on the flatbed trailer where it sat during the acceptance ceremonies taking place on the other side:

 

 

Video I shot of the unloading process afterwards can be seen on this thread.

 

 

Above photo was shot with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I think it has HDR capability, although I'm not sure if it was engaged on this shot. It's just unusually clear and colorful.

Here's a "grab shot" from my cell phone of the rural hamlet of Longfellow, PA.  These Lionel SD-70MAC's from the recently released Hi=Cube set are my son's new favorite.  He recently started posting on here, and you may have seen some of his posts.

 

 

Just acquired last Saturday.

 

 

Got some decals on tonight.

Really difficult and took for ever to do the nose stripes over the old Atlas shell with the high molded details etc.

 

 

Seems like the girls are calling the engineers over.??

Happy Saturday!

 

Note the house is a "LittleGlitterHouses.com" house, I love it!

Ditto!!  

Finally picked up a N6B Cabin car...

Made a title for my theatre marquee.  

Two days ago I went to the 4H Fair in Bridgewater, NJ. A group of kids called the Somerset County 4H Trainmasters had their modular layout set up there.

I thought this first pic was really cool. It was powered by a small HO locomotive running on HO track that is laid inside the Ferris wheel.

Walt,

Pool table are available for interior separately.

 

 

 

Joe,

The structure is available.

I didn't post because I was making some improvement to make it easier to assemble, but now the kit is completed.

If are you interested please send me an email.

thank you 

Minecraft module! Like it!!

This is a new load I made the other day, it represents a shredded metal load. I used the shavings from one of the band saws we have at work. 

If chessie1971 see's this, he will say you left me off the table.

Did you rust it naturally?

AG. 

Andre, is the coal dump and the coal office all inclusive or are they separate? I looked in your "Resource file" and saw the instructions for the coal dump but not the coal office.
Ray.

Andre, 

I'm not sure if you were replying to my scrap load, but I didn't weather the shavings. This is how they came out of the band saw. It's going to be interesting to see if the steel weathers, or if the adhesive seals out any oxidation. Some of the darker material may or may not be rusted pieces, as the material has been in the trough for a very long time.

Where you at 8 Ball ROFLOL!

Water and vinegar for few days ans voila!

Seal well after that with a dull cote IMO will work.

AG.

So I posted this awhile back. The guys in the club said it needed lights.  I guess it is more eye catching now.

AG.

It's already sealed as part of the manufacturing process. I really didn't want to weather it, as I see shredded steel being loaded into hoppers that is not rusted. 

As to the water and vinegar, I now keep a container on hand, as per your previous suggestion, in the shop for other scrap loads. I added some salt to the mixture as well.

Don

Ray,

I am working on it.

the Concrete Coal Dump is a set kit means, include the office and the dump, but both are sold separably too.

Andre.

Yesterday, it didn't look so hot.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, we got to work.....

 

 

Max is not much of a scenery person......he tells me that he prefers electrical and mechanical projects....

 

Now, it's baking in the 90 degree oven....and looks much better.....

Passing through Silver Springs NY

This is how you made a weed sprayer Maui style. Don

That's a handsome rig, Don.

Jon, think MTH or Lionel will make one? Don

I think this one deserves to be done in brass, that puts it in Scott's wheelhouse. I would bet this little honey gets pressed into duties other than weed spraying, Miller Time being one of them.  

 

Mill City, I know you don't mean Miller Time. It's Bikini Blonde Lager Time. Don

I'd buy that shirt!

This has REALLY EVOLVED into something great over the years...

What do you do when you have the flu?

Break out the hot box reefer!!

Yes, Don, when in Rome. Next visit to Maui will definitely be Bikini Blonde Lager Time. After all, what's not to like about either blondes or bekinis?  Granted, Miller Time is more of a state of mind than a brand. I can't remember my last Miller anything, but have enjoyed plenty of these...
