Good morning and welcome to WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!!
This past week we had to take down the Jurassic World layout;
Now it's time for our Halloween/Nightmare before Christmas layout. This is still a work in progress.
Let's see your pictures.

This is a re-post from late last Sunday regarding my series of posts about the attack of Godzilla in Central PA on last week's edition of Weekend Photo Fun. It kinda wrapped things up, but I figured it got posted too late for most people to see:
Thank you to all of those who responded to my posts of Godzilla on the attack in central PA. Not the kind of thing I normally post, that's for sure! He is in fact my daughter Caroline's bearded dragon who is actually named Godzilla. See the photo below. We often joked about posing him on the layout attacking a building and the railroad. We finally got around to doing it this weekend! In reality, he is completely docile, and she has him well trained to eat out of her hand which he would not do when she first got him. He is sitting on my desk in front of me as I type this.
Peter, thanks for the offer of the tanks BTW.
Since this is the end of the weekend, and probably won't be seen, I'll re-post this next week.
Here's some pictures from the Behind the Steam tour at Disney World.
I added lights I thought it gave it a nice touch. Should of came with them.
Happy Friday!!
Working on the wiring this week so not much to show as far as progress. I did get all the track activated accessories hooked up though. Working on the other accessories this week & then moving on to scenery.
Often overlooked 1654 steamer leads set 1401 from 1946 on the inside loop. This little engine is solid & pulls extremely well.
Set 1430WS from 1947 on the main line
2025 leads set 1430WS out of a prewar 919L tunnel 
Lorenzo operating some trains - 
Giovanna loves the trains as well - 
Shades of OWL - In a scene out of the 1950's, N&W 611 arrives into Barber Junction w/ a late night Powhatan Arrow. NCTM did a night photo shoot w/ 611 over Labor Day weekend that I was lucky enough to attend 
Took Lucia & Giovanna to see 611 on Labor Day. The pic below is Giovanna's reaction after hearing 611's whistle in person for the first time - 
NS ES44DC 7533 shoves on the rear of 18M as it attacks Elkhorn grade on the Pokey
NS ES44AC 8106 leads eastbound 6K4 through Hummelstown, PA on the Harrisburg Line
NS SD60E 6992 (ex NS SD60 6650) rolls through Spencer, NC with southbound 191 on the NS Piedmont Division
Happy Weekend Everyone.

Yep Cheerios to set them up on the track and get them running.
Wine to call Lionel and get an RA number if something is wrong

So Cool! Waiting to see this year's memories in the making Walt!!
Seen while walking around Manassas VA. Check out the nut in the cab.
My latest custom project that I designed with Lionel. Santa Fe Warbonnet SD40-2. 2 Legacy powered and 1 nonpowered. All 3 units have different rooftop details as per the prototype (the road numbers are prototypical).

Back in the days of steam...a westbound passenger train blasts by Mifflin tower on its way to Altoona, Pittsburgh, and points west:
Here's my contribution to fun photos of the weekend!
Just picked these up last weekend. Ever since I was a kid I wanted Superliners. The HO guys had them, but in ogauge in the ‘80’s I was stuck with Lionel short postwar cars in Amtrak paint. Checked the box!!!
P.S. ignore the junk pile in the back ground. Construction project is under way!!
I’ve pasted this Caboose for 20yrs or more and never stop to take some pics. Well last week I did. Happy Friday
By sheer dumb luck, look what I came across. A prototype photo of the model scene (looking in the opposite direction) that I posted above...
Putnam Division, how come I can't find trains like that in my Cherrios boxes? LOL Guess I'll try Crackerjacks!

Here’s a few pictures of my Legacy Great Northern F3 ABA that just came in. It looks and sounds great!
One of the items to share that is not strictly tinplate.
