Several weeks ago, someone asked about pick-up trucks, so here they are! [8D]

and now for a train or two.

Here is GregM with his Lionel K-4

Nice pictures Tom !! I didn’t see your Harley truck in there though !![(-D]

Here’s mine !

I finally painted my oil tank silver in this picture !

This is my Lionel yard tower area I’ve been working on !! The Dynamic duo are checking it out !!

Here is also a not too good video I was working on all day yesterday. Very hard for me to control the trains & hold the camera too !!

ZWBob - Your layout looks fantastic. I like the shelves in the background too. I’ll get there someday hopefully.

Perry,

Great layout. Makes me think of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyworld. Amazing level of detail.

Great pics guys and love the videos. David, I checked out your other 2 videos as well, what’s up with the guy pushing the ore car? It looks really cool! Did I miss a post about that?

Hey John,

I really like the way you did your road surface. Care to give me the scoop on how you did those?

This week I purchased my first ATLAS Industrial Rail Car.

The trucks are die cast. I am still trying to learn how to remove the lumber load. I would like to add simulated tie down strapping. Good quality for a reasonable price.

As promised a few more pics of the Blue Comet.

BTW, I see Lionel has a Blue Comet in American Flyer in the new catalog. Don’t know if it new or not as I don’t normally follow American Flyer, just happened to notice it.

And a pic of the rubber ducky antenna on the CAB1. It seems to work just fine.

I enjoyed everyone elses pictures today.

Laz, Nice ballast job, really improves the layout.

Perry, I always enjoy pictures of your layout.

JOHN JELECTRIC, nice pics of Blue Comet. Like the cat system.

Where did you get the rubber ducky? does it improve reception?
