WEEKEND PHOTO FUN York Edition 4/25/14-??

Me four.  Marker, I really like the headlight shield on your 13L.  Very nice-looking locomotive.  Makes me want to run out and buy war bonds.

Great pics everyone.  Thanks for sharing!

Really nice pictures guys.

 

I finished weathering 2 buildings for my hobo diorama. I have 2 more buildings & a outhouse to go. Also ordered a campfire and harmonica sound board for it. The hobo jug band will soon be on stage.

 

 

 

These items are truly exceptional.....

 

Great work, Al.

Now, with those very nice pictures, one can begin to see what 'York' is all about!!

 

It looks like a train hobbyists Heaven.

 

Thanks for posting the pictures you guys.

Thanks Tom.  I've always been mesmerized by Jack Delano's photo of the Super Chief at Albuquerque during WWII.  Now all I need is the T W TrainWorx Albuquerque station and I could somewhat model the scene. 

 

 

 

In the last month I found a photo of this post card.  Notice the class lights also have the shield.  I wonder if that existed or just an artist's conception.

 

Just back from York and put my two newest arrivals on the track along with a new passenger set.

 

Found a "Lion" in my Lionel box from York. LOL. 

OH MY!!!  Scott caught violating the new rules of "Photos only, no movies"!!!  "Shame, shame, shame" as Gomer would say.

 

Just a ribbing Scott, you know!

If you're still in the are for the York meet, steam has once again returned to the Northern Central "Steam Into History" train. This was today Saturday 4-26-2014.

 

 

 

Peter, Scott, Brian, Eddie, thanks for the York layout photos, and what was purchased at York.  I have a better idea of what I have been missing out on.

 

Ralph, Thanks for posting the photos of the NCRR 4-4-0.  It is really impressive.

Dave B,

 

I love your new accessory layout.  Do you have any other pictures or information that you can share?   I am thinking of doing something similar.  

 

Thanks, 

 

Chris

I want to point out there is a great photo thread with lots of hall pictures started on the York Forum Board. So if you want a good idea what this event is like take a look.

 This is from the National Capital Trackers set up in Black Hall. I really like this Civil War Module

 Wow! I wish I was able to be at York again. Its been 5 years now and the photos and videos sure bring back memories of being a kid in a never ending train store.

  Thanx to those who took the time to post their pics and those who contribute what they have been doing. Very Cool.

   Today, I was able to take home a Lionel N&W Powhattan Arrow set(Scale set for 2004?#612 +7 cars) and a set of Lionel Century Club PRR Sharknose Diesels ABA, from one of our local train shops.

    Didnt think to take pics....oooops! Al

A contribution of mine from York. Lots of steam on the National Capital Trackers layout in the black hall, 4/26.

 

 

Bill,

That looks like we were on a hill looking down on a real yard during the steam era.. The National Capital Trackers sure have a nice thing going.

 

To all who posted today,

Thank you very much!!

Dave O'Connor and Jack "The Apprentice" Kemph were busy today working on the Narrow Gauge lumber and mine section. The track is Peco On30. The area will be a series of switchbacks going from the floor of the valley to meet an interchange with the mainline at the upper level. The narrow gauge section will operate under DCC. 

 

 

 

The track work so far is very smooth and kink free as illustrated by this free-rolling skeleton log car.

 

 

I took this photo back in 2010 when the 765 was visiting Michigan and running trips for the Steam Railroading Institute.  The 1225 was just starting its rebuild at the time.   She will be back in Michigan this summer for Trainexpo 2014 and several other trips.  

 

 

A superb choice!  Can't get much better than this.........except one

Thank you very much Peter. We had an awesome time at York and really enjoyed seeing so many of our OGR forum friends stopping by our booth to see all our newest innovations. The Ruby Tuesdays OGR event was incredible with the numbers of people that attended. The Lionel Legacy User group breakfast was a lot of fun too..Thank you Marty E and Chris.  I think this had to be one of my favorite York's to date. 

 

Great pictures guys! I like that were able to show everyone what this "exclusive" Train club looks like.

 

Here are some additional pictures on our facebook page that I posted...
