great pictures of layout and train room!
here are a few of garage area
Spent part of the day Saturday playing with 1:1 trains by being a “volunteer crewman” on the Walkersville Southern Railroad, just outside of Frederick, MD.
My “ride” for the day was this Wabash caboose built in 1949. I was in such a rush to get to the railroad that I forgot my camera so these photos are from another occasion. That gorgeous PRR N5b of my friend John Meise was not along for Saturday’s run even though he was the conductor.
We have to run in reverse on the 2nd half of our trip and the caboose is equipped for this purpose with headlight and horn. The conductor or a senior brakeman rides the platform and provides “eyes” for the engineer.
These are some older photos. Both areas have a lot of new details not shown. Hopefully will have a new camera in a few weeks. The passenger station now features weathered rails in what has been an on going project.
Dave, is that a K-line Berkshire in your last picture?
Great pics all.
raymans - I see you’re level of detail is *starting to look a little relaxed…*let’s get some pin-ups on those garage walls!!!

Frank53,
Excellent pictures as usual, great scenery and structures. Now if you would only replace that tubular track with some Gargraves or Atlas… [:D]
IT RUNS!
Here’s my new pass cars
Yes. I have both the green and black version. Two of my favorite engines. Very smooth runners. Neither one seem to exibit the jerkyness of the more recent K-Line cruise engines I own. Both are weathered. These engines are loaded with detail such as added piping. I think the weathering really makes it jump out at you and notice it more. I found a picture of the black version.
Nice pictures, Guys.
Frank53…Love your tubular track.
Nice guardrails! Did you build them or buy them?

Kurt, Yes they are commercial. You can view them at www.valleymodeltrains.com in the O Scale portion under the heading Crow River. Look for Highway Crossing. The manufacture frequented my once local hobby shop. I was able to buy just the guardrails seperately rather than the entire crossing.
Great pics as always guys. Got my website working again, so here are my Halloween tank car and 4-4-2:
wow absolutley amazing…these are so beautiful…one day i will have some sunday photos to post up here…you guys these are great
Some moldy oldies. I need to take some new photos…
Ahh, trolleys. Nice shots, Frank. Good way to start the week.
Love that camera angle showing off your curves, Jim.
