Another week has gone by and now once again it is time for Weekend Photo Fun!
Last week we finished getting the track replaced on the upper level of the VMT layout.
Last week I was also able to get a great deal on this dummy engine. I have the Proto3 on preorder.
Let's see your pictures.

Last night, during the monthly business meeting, the National Capital Trackers took delivery of their long awaited 25th Anniversary Caboose, specially done for us by MTH. This is the second custom car MTH has done for us, the first being a Premier 40' Boxcar. This is a beautiful car and I was excited to open mine this morning.
Next custom MTH car will be a Premier Husky Stack car for 2015 and the 2016 club car will be a 8,000 gallon modern tank car. Discussion regarding other cars and possibly an engine is on going. Also distributed were special club lapel pins.
CAT fever this week.
Christopher: I saw your layout in that other magazine, and I think you've had much better shots here on the forum 
Beautiful pictures this week, Alan. Are these K-lines?
Congratulations, this is a stunning 25th Anniversary Car.
Have a great weekend Everyone!

SJC; very nice looking car.
Hope everyone has a fun weekend and is able to run some trains.
Great work and image.
Nice pictures from everyone.
Scott, is your kneeling protector on the tracks?
Some really nice pictures everyone! I need to get to work on the scenery, however some of you are light years ahead. I'm always in awe.
But first, my next project is to 2 rail this Atlas Fairbanks Morse Erie Built. Although Santa Fe wasn't thrilled with their purchase, I am. This model was an early masterpiece of excellent engineering which allowed 3 rail, 3RS, and 2 rail operation. It was an unrecognized standard. I should post a review as to why I've come to that conclusion. I probably will in a few weeks.
Have a great weekend!
Brian....thanks! Yes, those are the 21" K-Line Southern Pacific Daylight pasenger cars.

Great pictures everyone! Christopher, enjoyed the recent article on your fantastic layout.
I took some pictures of the King Street station in Seattle this week, I take the Sounder Train to Seattle from Tacoma on a regular basis. I also recently acquired the K-Line Sounder passenger cars.
Thanks for the response Alan, they sure look like K-Lines to me so I am not surprised. One of my projects today is to put 10 of these same beauties on the layout. No Cab Forward yet to go with them, but is is coming.
Dave, your Sounders look terrific. Hope you find the engine to go with them real soon.
Howard, this is one beautiful engine. I just love the Erie Built locomotives.
A few more oldies...
American Flyers have landed! They've begun invading my little ol' southern fried Marxist layout! LOL
Fortunately, my customized Marx 898 has taken control of the situation! LOL
Picked up a couple of Weaver PS-2 hoppers cheap this week. One was ready to go -- had scale wheels and Kadees in place; I have to assemble the other one. I decided to do a test run to check it out Wednesday night at the club.
A Reading I-8sb camelback passes a derailed boxcar on the club layout. The fact that these cars wouldn't exist until many years after the 2-8-0 was razor blades means someone has appeared to examine the time paradox.
Weekend Photo Fun on the Detroit & Mackinac Railway
This Detroit & Mackinac Railway Steam Locomotive is moving out an Old • Detroit Beer Boxcar to get ready for all the parties in the Motor City, this weekend.
Have a great weekend.

The guys in the city are working hard today fixing the pipes after a water main break.
Congratulations, this is a stunning 25th Anniversary Car.
Thank you Brian for the kind words. It is a beautiful car and I think those that ordered it are glad they did. Tracker Mike Fistere headed the project and is also working on the other upcoming club cars. He did a fantastic job.

I'd like to see more pictures of that Reading 2-8-0.
