Weekend Photo Fun April York Edition 2012

A great bunch of photos' everyone, thanks for taking the time to post them.

Almost done, only missing sidewalks, paving, line painting, peope, cars, lights telephone poles, fire hydrants, building details, grass, trees, buses.....oh, never mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mike,

Great track plan and track work! Thanks for responding and posting!

Stopped at the Railroad Museum of PA on the way home.....saw NKP Berks 765's brother 757.  Its condition is not so hot....one of the side rods is off.

Hi everyone.  I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge one other group.  This was the table way in the background, in the corner.  For some reason, they didn't get included in the photos....probably because we may have been the least photogenic of the bunch ( which, if you've seen these pictures, is saying a lot!! 

 

But they were gracious enough to allow me to join them and were a real treat to hang out with and talk trains!  I'm sad to say that I am terrible with names.   (I think there may have been a "Harold" in there??!)  I do remember that, from left to right, they hailed from Dallas, NJ and Maryland. 

 

Anyway, we had a lot of fun comparing York notes and just shooting the breeze.  If anyone can identify them, maybe you could shoot me an e-mail and let me know.  Otherwise, thanks guys, it was fun!

Thank you Brian!  Your Texas Special looks great on your beautiful layout..you and Tex are going to make me get a TS set one day.

Just posted a number of photos of the custom painted engines by Jeff Sohn in a different thread.  Here are some of my favorites:

 

Those L&Ns are certainly handsome Mike - was just looking at all the ones you posted in the other.

Also, There is a nice AA pair of E6s in the same scheme in another thread (scale 2 rail) by Steve DeLoach. Love those slope-nosed cabs!

One of my favorites

Finished off a weekend project of my own, re lettering a Railking 0-8-0 to my own rail road.

 

Here is my Michigan & Great Lakes 0-8-0 switcher moving some hoppers to the elevator to be filled.

I finally put one of my K-Lineville building kits together, with (2) "add a floor" additions.

Yesterday, I gave my Menard's WC set a chance to stretch it's legs.
