That is a classic shot.

Alan, did you just install this bridge? I do not remember seeing this one. Looks great.

Some early morning traffic on the AT&SF

Sunrise finds quite a few folks up and at it

Mikado 2480 pulls through with some early woodside passenger cars

The handsome S3 MR 261 makes the turn as well pulling some freight

Both together crossing the causeway

A 2011 Christmas layout memory

Drive-in patrons take in some grub before the movie starts.

Some great shots guys. Here is my Reading T1 with a new LED headlight from Evans Designs. What a hugh difference! Next its off to the weathering table.

Great pictures guys!

Roger...yes, I installed it a few weeks ago and have been doing some adjusting.  There is going to be another bridge at a lower level just in front of this one.  Both will be crossing the isle so I have made the isle way section removable when needed so that a minimum of ducking has to take place.  Also, this area will represent a canal with a sheet of 8 foot Aquatex acrylic that folds up and down for access through the isle.  The bridges and water feature will be up for picture taking and down when access through the isle is needed.

Thanks,

Alan

The before and after pics. of my SW-1 project.

AHHHHHH! The horror!  LOL  Sorry Pennsy fans!

Working the Sullivans Paper warehouse.  WoW there is alot of play value in this little switcher!  Few more industries to  be added to the layout and she will be busy.

Chris

Got the B&M Blues!

Gary Great kit, is it wood,plastic or card?

Today fitted some chains to the 2 Shakespeare locos & double headed them,worked out fine except in reverse.

Also fitted some leds into the station.

James

A couple popular spots around town...

AMCDave,

   I'm almost there!!!  Only a year and a half in the making.   The photos above were taken right after I videoed the train.   I still have a lot of work to do but expect the new video to be released next month.  I will be there at York if I get into Orange hall. Will not know until next week. 

Ws, PennsyK4,

 I will have nice piece about the Ore train.  It is a classic train and one of my favorites.

Here are a few screen shots and the new cover.  Hope to have some info on my website next week.

Do they sell cucumbers at this stand?

Holy crap Rich you have been busy! I cant wait for volume 3. FYI whenever my nephews come over (1 and 3 yoa) I just throw in volume 1 or 2 and they barely move on the couch.

Gary G you have a great layout, I enjoyed your webpage. How about some video?

Great shots everyone.

Jim are the tunnel portal and retaining wall commercial products or did you hand carve them out of foam?

Joe

Where did you get that station? It's beautiful! 

 James----It is a BAR MILLS KIT--laser cut wood.

ZETT----- Too many kits to build, but maybe if this old dog can learn how to do it--

gary g

Thanks Gary.

Liam it`s one of the Disney HO stations with a few bits added & a very little paint,may get a little bold and try a bit more.

James

One of my older yet favorite diesel locomotives.  Released I believe in 1999/2000 Lionel's NYC RS11 Rd#8010 does not have all of the bells and whistles of the newer offerings, but she's one good looking solid locomotive. 

You can visit my website Bo's Trains at http://www.bostrains.com

A new business opened on the railroad this week: Industrial Sales Company. They sell and service heavy construction vehicles and farm equipment. Here the building inspector gives his seal of approval. Overhead on the upper line, a freight rumbles by headed by UP and SP power.

Joe,

They are from Scenic Express. The wall is one of those flexible foam products. All the Scenic Express products have great stone detail. 

Jim

Thanks Rich...looks good...can't wait!

This photo is not of my layout and come courtesy of Lee French of Windermeare Florida. I believe that Lee ran some 60's Lionel space items as a tribute to the passing of Neil Armstrong recently.

Nah, that's down the road. I'll show you his li'l business later. He's just gettin' it set up for the season, with cukes big as watermelons.

Liam....since you liked Jame's station, here is an example of using 8 of the Disney Main Street Station kits bashed together on my layout....

Alan

AWESOME PHOTO'S EVERYONE

ALAN I LOVE THAT STATION WITH THAT LIGHTING AND BACKGROUND

BEAUTIFUL

ALEX

You did a GREAT job - my unopened box sits on my workbench.... very motivating!

Dennis L.,

"a tribute to the passing of John Glen recently."

John Glenn has not passed - I beleive you are referring to Neil Armstrong.
