Here is a follow up picture of the model of the Sciotoville bridge incorporated in a layout at the train show last November
Here is a rough idea of the All Aboard setup I want to use for this coming November train show
The train show from a few years back
Have fun

Nice, I could that Sciotoville bridge on my upper loop. [swg]
Here is the real bridge
With the model weighing 400 pounds it would require some impressive beanchwork!
Jim,
Thanks for the photos of the All Aboard layout. I have a number of the panels that I have collected over the years. I think I have at least two of the 6 panel sets and a variety of other panels. I keep thinking that one of these days I will assemble a layout for a show. Thanks for the inspiration.
My offering this week is a combination of American Flyer O and S and Lionel. The S gauge train shed will work with O too.
Enjoying the World’s Greatest Hobby

Okay I guess I need to get in on the American Flyer kick you all been doing. Now this is a kit bash actually, It has American flyer inners and not sure who exactly made the trolley shell but it’s an interesting piece. Not sure if I have shared these before but here it is again in case I did.
And the bottom so you can see it is a 3 rail American Flyer piece
I think that’s a Modern Toys product. Matsudya.
Nice shot! When the “Shanghai Express” shows up tell Marlene Dietrich Firelock says “Hi!”
Well with a little more searching I found the shell for it, what it originally was before some one put a A.F. motor under it
http://www.binnsroad.co.uk/railways/mitsuhashi/index.html But I’m at a dead end again. Can’t seem to find a company that deals in toys with this name in japan.
I took a look at some of my favorite dealers and there doesn’t seem to be anything in current production that’s similar.
Here’s one that sells antiques that might be able to help: http://www.toysofthepast.com/index.html.
Try Ebay under the category “vintage and antique toys” with the search: (train, locomotive, railroad) which is where I usually have good luck. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_PrefLoc=1&_sacat=717&_nkw=(train%2C+locomotive%2C+railroad)&_sop=1
Works well for finding stuff from sellers who have no idea what they’re selling.
I have a few other dopey photoshops like it that I did one day when I was reeeeely bored! [(-D]
Sturg - I like the BLM Union meeting in that last shot!
Penny - too fun! My son and I built that Meccano loco set quite some years ago. Long gone.
I was wondering if anybody would remember the “other” Erector hudson. [:D]
Here’s another goofy pic:
Sunset on Mars photo from NASA JPL, Lego rover and crazy girl celebrating lunar new year.
I like the avatar change Becky! Great shot!
What kind of mileage do you get on that moon rover?
I figured I’d switch them a round for awhile. As for the rover, I’ll let you know what kind of milage I get when I take it apart and try to sell it out of the garage this summer. [:D]
…apparently you can’t post photos like mine on that “other forum” because I guess the webmaster finds them offensive or something. I think I’ll be happy when he retires.
You mean “Adolf’s” forum?
the webmaster isn’t the only one doing the moderating over there. And at least to me, I think it’s the others that have a heavy hand on the delete button.
I don’t know who it is but I’m getting pretty sick of it. Makes me glad I’m not an ogre subscriber. I’d hate to be paying for the priveledge of censorship.
Yep. Don’t say anything remotely negative by stating the obvious. Like poor quality etc… DELETE!!
