Happy Mothers Day

yes…HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

How Hard is it to catch the Joker ?

Great pictures everyone !! Hope all the Moms have a nice Mothers Day too !!

Here’s an engine that came into our yard the other day on the way to The Newburgh & Southshore RR, somewhere west of Cleveland.

Here’s the other side !

Thanks, John

Spankybird : it must be pretty hard to catch “That Joker” !! I looked up a minute ago & there went by Batman highrailing it with a whole bunch of crime fighting materials !! [(-D]

Thanks, John

No time for any layout progress this week:

Frank53 - is that 0-8-0 of raymans a tribute to you…?

csxt30 - that GP9 (or GP10?) appears to be in good shape. Any idea of its lineage?

SPANK - if they can get the JOKER to turn into that MCDONALDS drive-thru line, they’ll nab him for sure![(-D]

Connolly - NICE WORK…and [#welcome]

Fife : no I really don’t know the lineage of that Geep, other than it was sold to that Newburgh & Southshore RR . It got set out at our shop for a bad wheel but then we Ok’d it to go. It is in real good shape though !

Thanks, John

That’s a honey of a shot right there:

csxt30 - I think that bell bracket on top would be a good clue. Which fallen flag used to mount their bells in that location…?

I went to the old B&O roundhouse in Cleveland yesterday. Here are a couple of pics I took. They are having a public open house today and next Saturday from 1 to 5.

Greeting, Happy Mothers Day !

In celebration of Mothers Day, cleaned the train room

  1. Finished the upper shelf, train runs, with Camera, Smoke, & Sound. Trying to decide if the heralds are too busy or do they add to the look. (Adds some color, over overcrowds?)

  1. Chris’s Libation Station

wow great pics everyone…wonderful layouts…the detail is wonderful…

had a quetion about this one…the caboose is very nice… lovely red…

what happened to the round house

Amtrak F40PH diesel by K-Line.

Pulling out from Jasper’s Rock

The guys working trackside have quite a view:

Really nicely detailed with working ditch lights & strobes.

I always liked these. At least there was some sort of effort at the old “cab unit” look.
With 3000 hp under the hood and a top speed of over 100mph they were quite capable locomotives.
A single unit F40PH handling an average train by itself was a common sight.

Photo from Norteast Railfan:

Everything works and she runs well.

Yet another reason to miss K-Line.

amazing …i really like the amtrak stuff… they will definatly make an apperance on my layout…down the road sometime…very nice…the detail is very cool…

Great pictures, Guys. I enjoyed them.

**Don…**The Heralds look good. Add a nice touch to Train Room.
