Been hunting for these for 3 years now. Finally found them. [:)] Lionel B&O E7 AA!!! Will look great pulling my Williams B&O Streamlined Passenger cars.
I was at one of my LHS yesterday & saw that set. What I noticed more then anything is how long they are.
New development underway on the layout. Lionel tin factory, Marx tin freight terminal and American Flyer passenger station & terminal.

seayak - Interesting flag in the background. What is its history? Gordon fan? Oh, BTW, nice trains too…[:D]

Fifedog, yep a Gordon & Johnson fan.
My Dad was with MacArthurs Expeditionary Forces during WWII. The Japanese signature flag was captured by my Dad during the Battle of Guadalcanal when his company over ran a Japanese artillery position.
seayak - 43,14,5 and now 21 fan. So, the signatures are the GIs that captured that position? Cool artifact.

No, I have been told that the signatures on the flag are the Japanese officers, never had it analyzed so don’t know if that is correct.
Here is another layout that I visited this week. It has 5 mainlines on it and allot of action.
And now for some action with 2 videos
Here’s my photos for this week: Williams 773 Hudson getting ready for a days work

Great photos guys !
Photos from our April Fools Day friday run.
Been very warm in Sandy Eggo of late
But the trains ran anyway, although it was difficult keeping them running forward.
[:o)]
Great photos everyone. Thanks for posting.
That is a great piece of history Seayakbill. There is a show that runs on PBS called History Detective. Your flag would make a great item for them to do a historical search.
Every SPF should have a representation of PreWar tinplate. Here is my offering for this week.

This is the highlight of my Sundays as I always look forward to seeing all the great photo’s When I work like I did today I wait till I get home as for some reason with there settings photobucket will not display at work so I miss about 1/2 the pics if I look there so I know wait till i get home for the glory to see all at once its worth the wait.
as usual Great pics all
Hi. Does anyone post photos from photobucket? If so, can you please explain how it is done? Thanks for your help.
This box will be to the right side of your screen when you have a photo selected. You want to copy the “IMG code” and then you just paste it in with your posting.
easiest way is to open two windows so you can go back and forth open on to here in the reply mode the other in photobucket with the pic you want to post then roll over the pic you want with your mouse you will see a drop down box click the second one down and then come back to ctt post page and click on the window with a world in bottom right corner emblem and it will open to a new window post what you copied in the box there and
click insert and the pic will apear as this one above did
Battleships and Trains on the same forum, what could be better !!
Balidas - sorry missed your post earlier. I actually found these at a store in FL. I found them through a web search, emailed the store, received a response, called later that afternoon to order. They arrived a few days later (fella told me they would be shipping on Wednesday), really happy with the store! Oh heck… it was Discount Trains. Rick was a pleasure to do business with! Very open and honest, great communication. Since I hadn’t done business with them before I was hesitant to post about them till they arrived and I could see them in person and get them on the layout to see how they run.
I couldn’t be more pleased. I’d be running them now, but I have decided to redo the upper level on the layout and that is going to take a bit of time and work. I have the extension built and the lower level rerouted. Now have to build the new upper level on the extension, then remove the rest of the track from the section of the upper level that needs to be moved… hope to work on that over the next few weeks…
Thanks, guys, for the responses. Here’s an attempt at posting a photo.
Hope it works.
Hooray!!!
