Let's get Weekend Photo Fun started.
Last Sunday the WB&A Chapter of the TCA visited the Virginia Museum of Transportation. The layout was made available to them to run their trains.
I have almost finished the Halloween layout at the museum.
Let's see your pictures.

Well, Technically it's O-gauge as its for 32 mm track
But it's 16mm scale live steam. I have just prepared it for tomorrows run on the clubs portable layout. The NYC boxcar is just for reference.
And yes I have tried it on my O-gauge layout. Was it a Success ? No! A live steam loco leaks oil and leaves the track rather messy and doesn't like O31 curves. But a combined circuit in the garden using Gargraves stainless steel track is in the planning.

Just my luck, these 1986 TCA convention cars will be valuable some day.
Too late to turn back now. The damage is done

I love yellow (Sunoco) and orange (PFE) on a southwest red-rock country layout. I know the Sunoco tanks aren't prototypical for the area, but what the heck. PFE is.
Found this the other day, in a closet. Forgot that I had it. ETS kind of flopped when it first arrived, and I got this from Micro-Mark(?) for 75.00 back in the early 2000's. I missed out on part of the sale - they had the little 0-4-4-0 for $125.00. Sold out. Blast.
Anyway, except around the smokebox and steam delivery pipes coming from it, it doesn't look specifically "Euro" - in fact, it has a bit too much Disney in the look, but that can be changed; basically it's a little tank loco to which a tender has been added - something done in the real world often back in the day. A little work on the smokebox/steam pipes and a toning-down of the circus paint job - or a re-paint to black-ish - and it;s a nice little short-line Mogul. The pilot is pretty cheesy. ETS used K-line metal trucks on the tender.
It has a 2-position e-unit and sound(!).
As it has no prototype so far as I'm concerned, the 1:45 "scale" is irrelevant. It probably won't stay a wood-burner.

Glad you like it.
Yes, it's fresh out of the spray booth yesterday. Picked up some SF decals at the season starter swap meet last weekend. The victim was a past purchase, NIB for $10. It's traditional dimensions didn't warrant doing anything prototypical. I shaved off the moulded in handrails, replaced with new metal ones while adding a few extras. By flipping the frame and slightly modifying the mounting holes, I was able to lower the gap between the body and trucks. I might highlight the brass numerals with background paint to make them stand out more. A brakeman was installed in the cupola. I have an old Railking ABA set of warbonnet F3's that can now be pressed into freight service with this addition to the fleet.
