Our club layout is coming together and we'll have an open house soon (Oct 5). Here is our Legacy C&O Berkshire making a few rounds the other evening along with the Santa Fe Geep units. It dismays me that Lionel can't put electrical components in a $275 dummy unit these days!

OH come on Scott, you are blaming Joshua for you hundred plus powered units!!!

 

That sounds like my Dad when Santa brought me my first Lionel set for Christmas 1947.  It is for Ron, although I (my Dad) never had one.

Alex - Love the interior detail on those R-30's stopped at my favorite spot on your layout.

Brian - I will check out that bridge lighting on the 21st.

Firemanchris - Great looking layout and Boston and Maine loco's.

Christopher -The layout looks super.  Awesome job!!

Popsrr - Great Lighting on the refinery.

Plus all the other super photos that make this thread great each week.

 

Here's some from my layout expansion project.

Oh, man! If she hits the train, that's a big MINUS (-) sign on CONDITION!

Today my beautiful and charming wife, Beverly, and I visited the Northern Central SE of York (www.steamintohistory.com) just in time to see the arrival of a new coach built by the Reader Railroad in Arkansas. Another car (combine) is on its way, and a few other cars after that. They have curved roofs (no clerestory) like Lionel GENERAL cars to complement Civil War era 4-4-0 No. 17 that rolled out of [David] Kloke Locomotive Works, Elgin, IL, in May, 2013!

Unloading, as seen from our window on the 1:00 PM train. The coach rolled down that ramp onto the track

No. 17, the YORK, rolled out of [David] Kloke Locomotive Works, Elgin IL, in May, 2013! Mr. Kloke used plans of his LEVIATHAN (2009) for this beauty, using slightly smaller drivers for the 5-mile 2% southbound grade to New Freedom.

 

FLASH: The LEVIATHAN will run on this railway, beginning on November 10. Go to "Steam Into History" on Facebook for the latest info and photos.

Walking past the open car, I noticed a sign that appealed to my off-the-wall sense of humor. This would be a neat detail on a model.

Nice photos everyone! 

Here are a couple from last weekend's Conrail Historical Society Convention. That group did an excellent job organizing some great tours and clinics, and thanks to the folks at The Youngstown Museum of Industry, Kasgro, and NS for hosting tours.

 

First, here's a shot of the rolling mill and BOF at the O-gauge layout at the Youngstown museum

The CRHS has some serious railfan membership!

At Kasgro, they build several varieties of heavy-duty specialty flat cars, such as this 20-axle monster.IMG_1195

Part of Kasgro's facility.  They have a fleet of cabooses to accompany some of the cars during shipment.IMG_1217

Sorry this photo came out sideways, but the Folks at NS were great hosts.  The brand new Conway Locomotive Shop, just moved in within the last month. NS has spent a lot of money rebuilding the locomotive facility at Conway with the new servicing pad at East Park, new shops, and a new backshop going up. 

IMG_1266

Of course the old, antiquated facilities have to be cleared to make room for the new. Here's what remains of the old wood-frame roundhouse, with the new backshop going up in the background. The turntable will stay.
