Looking forward to many great photos. Always interesting!

 

Love the new MTH Turbo train, just got it and ran it last night.

 

Plug slot on end of car just above the wheels, next connecting plug end that goes in slot.

Train set up in yard then runs up to upper ceiling loop.

Looks and runs great on mostly 0-120 loops of track ( a few 0-96 curves) great sounds and great looking train.

Lets see some Amtrak Turbo shots?? 

 

Of interest if you look at the 4th photo down you will see what I used for yard tracks. Really really old Gargraves 2 rail with outside 3rd rail track, I got really cheap many years back. See every few ties on left side of track are longer. In old days they spiked on an outside shoe, O scale trains ran with scale wheels and had a pickup shoe on loco on the sides that would ride on the outside 3rd rail to pickup power.

For my yard tracks I spiked in the middle rail for my 3 rail layout!

Wow cool Scott lets see more of that layout, is there a link to a website on the layout??

 

This past weekend was a train show near Seattle. Some nice layouts and lots and lots of O gauge/ scale stuff for sale from all eras.

 

Some photos of a point to point On3 layout and the local 2 rail O scale layout.

The shot with the lights is where the train runs across the main and drops candy down a slot to the kids.

Last week Frank 53 and Mike CT posted their excellent versions of Ameri-Town’s Homestead Furniture. Nice job guys.  Here is a version I built for the Flower City Tinplate Trackers. It honors charter member the late Frank Dziduch (Frank in Steam). I also custom decorated a companion refrigerator car.

 

 

It will be placed on the industrial module that Frank and member Tom Werenski were working on.

Enjoyable thread this week as always.  Nice shots so far everyone.

 

I've been working on this scene at my usual snail's pace for quite some time.  There are still details to add, but i am leaving it for now to move on to other areas of the layout.

 

I started with this area for detailed scenery because it is tucked way back in a corner and access requires contortionist maneuvers.  It was actually physically painful to scenic this area!   There is a removable section in the middle, for which you can see the seams.  

 

I will now be able to work outwards from here.

.. is flat-out AWESOME!  That's some fantastic work, Jeff.


I could not have said it any better than that myself. Only this missing is the typical liter along the side of the road!  Maybe think about a driver in the front vehile. Arm hanging out the side window. Radio on..... I could stit and get lost in this picture for hours! Amazing work. Thank you for posting this picture.

The evening these were shot some of the PRR Power was out on the layout stretching their legs. We follow GG1 No 4936, a BLACK motor w/5 gold stripes leading a Lionel JLC Tuscan beauty No 4912 pulling some PRR mixed baggage & passenger equipment. Heading through the yard is PRR T1 No 5511 awaiting her turn on the mainline
