SCOTT

Steve

Working the yard...

 

 

 

More from the boy detective Tin-Tin range of transport.

 

It is interesting to see British and/or European Items on the board. Even boy detective Tin Tin unit.

Happy Weekend to all!

 

 

Newest Postwar pickup -

 

Running some late '50s stuff on the layout -

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend everyone!!......Alan

 

"early morning at the station shed...."

 

 

 

 

 

 Here are some shots from around the layout 

An RS1 pulls through the edge of the yard

 

Fall has arrived in the mountains but a couple of folks are still on the water

Right-click these to see the details.

There is a sunbather on the rocks to the right as well as the boat at the head of the falls...  (Not to worry - the boat is tethered)

 

Talking over a (case of) coke

 

Most colorful "Cab Car" out there.

 

 

The morning train arriving from Niagara Falls.

 

Pacific 5603 is one of the few that did not have vestibule cab.

It is a repaint of a K-Line semi-scale Pacific.

 

One of this years offerings from Menards

 

Earlier this week I posted a photo of my great York find...a Lehigh Valley non-powered C-420 unit to add to my consist of 3 powered LV ALCo C-420's.  Here are a few more views of the same consist.  I'm a Pennsy guy, but these bright red units sure stand out from the dark green backdrop a lot better than the brunswick green PRR units!

 

Here is a new MTH Premier B&O GP35 Engine With PS3 Sounds. I got this engine yesterday very nice engine. 

I decided to splurge to try and make this an interesting harvest photograph--I bought the pumpkins and sunflowers from Scenic Express.  The Arttista figurines should be of little boys, the original Boo Brothers, but I don’t own any and didn’t want to get carried away.  Happy Halloween everyone.

 

Starting on creating 2013 Christmas layout memories

 

I spend the first 2 weeks putting 95% of the wiring in place since I will land up covering it up with the Homasote.  Takes a lot of planning but it works. 

 

That 'missing' square will eventually have the underlaying blueboard and Homasote but I left it open since I was doing a lot of kneeling there and many wires run thru it.

Thanks,

Was able to get 8099 this past Monday leading 337 - just enough light left to squeeze off a shot -

att: walt rapp... are you setting up display for tinplate this year?

 

$oo

Neal,
Along the fence line you have high grass or weeds.  What are you using, matte or static grass?  If wheeling45 is reading this, the same question on your W&LE.  What an incredible effect!  Thanks in advance.

I may not be going to York but did actually do a short run time on my very small 5x7 board I do not use the word layout since it will be part of one someday. Houses and cars on it just for fun and it was only for 15 mins since I have not been home for a month well it was Bangor and Aroostook day, I bought a new never opened 1976 Bangor and Aroostook GP and hack set off ebay a few weeks ago to give my  Williams BL2 some company. I did also run my LIRR Railking RS-1 and K-line hack. To bad the K-line Plymouth pic did not come out love that lil engine.  Sorry about the iphone picture quality.

My Mighty Casey engine is finally restored so my brother's grandson can ride it next weekend.

Now this shot is amazing. It relaxes the mind yet portrays a "buzzy" station element. Thanks Leaving Tracks.

Reminds me of the time I was at the St. Louis train station / mall, simply astonishing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I have not posted on in a while ... how about these:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks J Daddy for the compliment!!  The train shed at St. Louis is my favorite so your statement above means a lot to me!

 

Alan

Beautiful pictures everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Have a great weekend

 

My Lionel GP35 with MTH coal cars

 

 

 

 heres a Larry i built from brass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though Dragon Cement is still under construction, it is able to produce product and requires car loads in and empties out (at least in my imagination). A pair of Atlas MEC SW's handles today's chores.

 

 

I'm building my 2013 Christmas layout as I would have done for any other year when I ran my 9 Railking trains.  Same everything except that there will be only 2 trains and they will be tin-plate.

 

thanks for asking

My weekend photo fun was over at the Great Scale Train show, Timonium, MD Fairgrounds. Several nice O-gauge display layouts in operation. This Canadian Pacific passenger train was especially nice.

 

 

We need some Thursday at Friday's pics! 

Last week we visited the Railroad Museum at Savannah, GA.

 

 

Rail King Conrail C30-7

  

 

 

Atlas Santa Fe GP-60s.  The Texas Special E-7s and Soo F-7 are both from Williams.

"Small layout...Big dreams"

Walt - In time you will have many more Tinplate Trains on your layout.

Patrick-  Looks Super.

Neal - was the gray and yellow unit a Lionel model?..... we had that scheme in HO but not since we moved up to O..... Thanks
