Here are a few from the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum. Thanks for the tip envfocus!

Here’s a shot of my new friend Mark! As soon I walked up he asked which engine he could bring out for me. We spent 1-1/2 hours talking about trains, trying not to lose/bore the FIL.

One for Doug:

One for Buckeye:

Here’s my 624 pulling a train over the track I laid cork under last weekend:

Hopefully today I’ll have the rest of the cork stained so I can do the other loop too.

Thought I would put up some pictures of train heralds that I put up this past week in my train room.

Thought this particular herald would be of interest to one indivdual in particular.

Overall, I think a lot of these are a real artform, so far when someone comes into the room I usually get 2 responses;

  • “I didn’t realize there were so many different train lines”

  • "Is there one from … RR in …?

I downloaded most of these off the web and then printed them on an adhesive vinyl, then cut and posted.

Napa Valley Wine Train…

Since last friday was the 4th of July and mmy normal run day at the museum we brought the celebration with us:

1. The R.I. GP-7 in the lead followed by the [bday] billboard

2. Next comes all the goodies

As always, great pics everyone. Here is the last pic of my current layout. Starting on July 11 it will be wiped clean and I hope to be finished by July 18.

Good shots Buckeye. Don B, I see one great RR in that photo of close ups of RR herolds. So I will post some of its showings in Roanoke VA.

Being built for Saudi Araba [the car shops are now leased by a company]

Hoppers being built for NS.

Paint shop

Main greating to NS shops.

Original N&W passenger cars

Now with NS on them.

Wow, if the rest of the layout looks as good as that shot, it’s almost a shame to wipe the slate clean.

Fifey, these are some of the stops we can make if we do a Roanoke VA gathering.

The Clinchfield Mikado is a K-Line undecorated locomotive that I had to do a little work to the front. After I took these pictures I realized that I forgot to put a new bell on the engine:

This is a Lionel Mogul (NYC originally).
