The Pullman travellers are sound asleep as they take advantage of the ‘early occupancy’ option. Meanwhile the train they will be coupled to is miles away and this sleeper won’t be tied on until 2 am this morning:

Here’s my 20 Car Amtrak Rainbow era train running at the Amherst Railway Society’s Railroad Hobby Show in W. Springfield, MA back in January on the Northeast T trak layout! Its seen at left led by a pair of Kato SDP40Fs, and was about 9’ long if my memory serves me!

Show me more passenger trains please!

Amtrak is busy here in Metroliner territory. The private car Hickory Creek is out and about, too!

Kind of a passenger scene, but with giant Campbells soup can sculptures in the background! Must be some kind of tourist attraction.

Show me more passenger scenes, please.

It’s been two days, time for a bump.

I have three Rapido Hudsons and wish I had got 2860. 2816, 2850 and 2860 are the big three, oh well maybe someday.

Show me another Rapido product, please.

Not sure if he paid for it, but this Plasticville garage was gifted to me from a friend who doesn’t model in HO scale. I tore it apart, painted it, added glass (some joker has already broken a pane), rebuilt it, weathered it, and planted it.

Show me something else dilapidated.

Howsabout an H32 covered hopper living out its end of days with PC Patches in cement service? One of my favorite really heavy weathering jobs.

Show me more dilapidation, on or off the rails please!
