The last request from December was for a freight train with signals.

Here, A PRR I1s works upgrade passing under a signal bridge on a foggy night.

Show me another night scene…

One of the first pics I took with my Samsung GS7 to test the night picture quality…

Charles said, “Show me another night scene.”

This photo was taken just after my grandson turned out the lights in the layout room. Impromptu, but I like the effect.

Another night scene please.

Great Photos, Dagne!

I had to do a double-take when I saw the blue sign with the milk bottle in the lower photo. I live near Akron, Ohio and near by is Cuyahoga Falls, home of the Lawson Milk Co.

So I did a bit of research only to find that Lawson’s have continued to operate in Japan as Lawson Station! (Once owned by Mitsubishi?)

Fascinating!

Ed,

Thanks for the link to the Lawson Wikipedia page. I had no idea that the Lawson stores originally came from the States.

The Lawson Station kit is produced by Tomix, if I remember correctly; and, I would be happy to get one for you from my LHS, if you want to put one on your layout[:)]

Here’s another look at the store.

Lawson’s was a significant regional dairy processor in NE Ohio, with a large plant right next to the B&O’s East-West mainline in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I had no idea they still operated in Japan, of all places! Live & learn.

You can still get Lawson’s Original Chip Dip at Circle K

was the last request I believe…

A young couple enjoy a nice August Day sitting on the Dock at the Ice Pond behind Cooley’s Blue Ice:

Show me more water scenes.

A lad fishing in Stoney Creek.

More water scenes, please.

That is very generous, Dagne, as it is, I have shelves full of structures that I’ll never have room for on my layout [:(] Great seeing your photos, though!

More water scenes:
