The modular group needed a smaller layout to bring to small or "one day" venues. Here's our 6X8 small layout under construction.

I have been shopping for cabeese to run with my new Legacy AC-12 Cab Forward. I found this at the Orange Empire Railway Museum this morning, but unfortunately it won't fit in the house.... otherwise, it's a perfect candidate!

After digging out the old On30 stuff, I thought it would be nice to actually use some of it again. Regular Lionel trucks seemed way too big. I found a pair of Marx O-27 3/16" scale trucks and mounted them on one of the boxcars to see if it would work. I think it looks pretty good. I probably will need to rework the bolsters to set it lower. I'll have to see about getting some more Marx trucks for some of my other narrow gauge stuff! On30-27 anyone? LOL
My weekend is with the National Capital Trackers in Kensington, MD. The Annual Train Show continues tomorrow in the Armory, 11AM-5PM. I can't believe I forgot my camera today, but will be sure to bring it tomorrow. Here's an Iphone photo before the show started, as Amtrak 519 was being checked over prior to the days runs. 519 ran well in the afternoon pulling Amfleet cars.

Nice car. You should run this one with a Marx William Crooks steam engine if you have one.
Here are a few pics from construction of my home layout
Congratulations in passing the bar, Tyler. You deserve a treat, and a beauty at that.
Congrats on the Bar exam and the Legacy engine. May you always carve out a few minutes for work to enjoy this hobby.

Congratulations on both the Bar exam and acquiring a new Legacy Engine. Always great to see another Southern Ry fan add to their roster and get underway.
Gee, I should buy an engine every time I pass a bar...CONGRATS!
Gilly, thanks for answering the question. I had a feeling that was Peter's dog. Max is a gem.
Lionel89, a big congratulations on passing the Bar Exam. You did deserve a treat and you picked a good one.
Down by the freight yard early in 1981, see the little pufferbellies standing in a row...
From my 3-rail days.

Can't have too much Southern.

Ron, that Southern engine is a real beauty. Very nice photo.
Ron, you are correct. One can never have too much Southern. BTW who made that locomotive? I might have to purchase one when my train budget recuperates.

They (a B-unit also) were made by MTH about 10-years ago.

Thanks
Hi Peter
That isn't a kit It was purchased assembled from Harry Heike of Everything O scale It has an operating situation board and interior lighting It is made of Resin I think he calls it the Fourth st tower Its great because of the thin footprint Fits between tracks easy

Great modeling both 2&3 rail, very impressed. There was something a little fishy about those flats on page one.

Great job, Peter! It is really looking good so far.
