Weekend Photo Fun Black Friday Weekend 2014

GREAT PHOTO'S AND VIDEOS THIS WEEK!!!

Moving along slowly. Wired up a few feet of track and started a train today. Filling the room with the smell of train smoke was great. With luck, I'll have the bench work finished by next weekend.

 

W're assembling a layout at my real estate office on Main Street in town. Was able to get the trains running today but need to replace the aging VW transformer.

Redistributed some power on both of my freights, and snapped a quick video. 

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

 

My wife put together this nice Creche a few years ago. 

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  Here is a shot I took last night of my new Polar Express at our setup at Kennywood Holiday Lights:

 

 

 

It has been running like a champ for the last two nights.

 

The rest of my pix and videos from this event can be seen over on this thread.

Was trying to decide what to take down to the club yesterday and decided to bring this little critter along. Ended up running it most of the day. It's great putting along at 15smph. I'm figuring the prototype probably couldn't exceed 25. Finally got the parts to modify the pilots to support Kadee couplers. Trying to work up the nerve to start cutting.

 

 

New "Train Room" finally taking shape. The layout shelf is due to be installed next week. The GN/BNSF Rock Island, WA. bridge main span over the Columbia is a bit further off.

Hello guys I just got in from a trip to Walmart and a trip to see if there wear any trains. Well I got lucky this time because their was one just sitting. These wear taken today.

Sam,

Very creative on putting Creche on flat car!

It always nice when the young ones are here over the holidays.  Grand-daughters Hannah and Olivia.

       
Hope that's a good thing! The model is of the Tunkhannock Viaduct in Nicholson, Pa. I've never seen the real bridge, in person. (despite owning property in Cortland, NY)
I worked from this picture.

Here is a Weaver Chessie ACF 4 Bay Hopper I bought today. 

I believe that's the very place. Though I've never seen the viaduct from the air, as your photo presents, the names seem right, I can see the Lackawanna RR name on one of the arches in my photo is shown in yours, and the footing and everything else seems the same. You certainly have gifted hands and wondrous powers of observation. It would be a real pleasure to see how you use the structure eventually.

Rich, I've always been a fan of your and it's easy to see why.
