This is a photo of Lionel's B&O F3 from their 2004 Catalog. It is one of their best sets of F3s ever produced.

Here is the HellGate Bridge being constructed. When I was on FDNY, I worked in Astoria. Occasionally we use to take the truck down to Astoria park to eat lunch and get some air. We use to park right under the bridge. It really is awesome!

 

I haven't posted in quite sometime.  Progress Slowwwwwwww!!!!!!  Many projects started, none completed.   Have a good weekend! 

Great job on the grain elevators.  I particulary like the weathering and lighting.

Beautiful engine.  I have always loved the B & O paint job, very elegant looking in my opinion.

An interesting way to deliver food. Food prep in middle G Scale train running around the edge slowly;  they put each dish they make on the flat cars on the train, folks are on bar stools around and just grab what ever plate they would like as the train goes by! Chef refills the most popular dishes. In downtown Banff.

 

Some displays Spiral tunnels west of Lake Louise N scale Diorama.

 

Rogers pass then and now.

    a pencil to create the mortar lines

 

Haven't made much progress on the layout this summer.  The intermodal/multi use yard has two new cranes.
