The Circus comes to Roger’s Corners
Got close to wrapping up two projects this week:
Marczi Brothers Brewing is made from a Walthers (I think) building front, repainted with a dock, signage and lighting added:

The mail transfer station is built to cover a post war switch:
Thought I would post a photo of the shell of my 248 that I am preparing to reassemble. I stripped the shell using Simple Green. I found that the old brass could be reused if I clean it with a solution of salt and lemon juice. All the tarnish came right off. I will polish the brass with Brasso and reassemble. Mitch
Mitch, email me and I will send you the code that made the photo appear.
Mitch received your email. Your CTT email address might need to be checked, because it keeps bouncing back when I reply.
Good Morning everyone,
Trolley set I purchased off of Ebay. It’s in the Lionel catalog in 2000.
Booker and the trolley
Tom,
Great shots of your outing. Where did you find all those “Scale” itmes? [:D]I have been to several rail museums with pleny of photos to just add to my frustrations as I try to duplicate scenery on my layout. Thanks for the photos and keep 'em coming.

Thought I would try to post a couple of pictures of the speeder that I upgraded with TMCC. It isn’t the most cost effective scenerio, but it sure has had a tremendous amount of fun value. The upgrade was more expensive than the speeder. I also upgraded the two beeps, they are doing duty as yard switchers. Have remote couplers on them as well.
is this photo on your layout?:
what are you using for streets?
Nice bunch of pictures guys.
Buckeye, Nice garden layout, like the daylillies.
A couple of pics of the long running stockyard project.
Future location of stockyard.
On my neat workbench.
In place on the layout temporarily.
I’m begining to think it’s different strokes for different folks. Copy & paste doesn’t work for me but the old img & /img works just fine. Guess I’ll just use what works.
I posted pics for the first time today - it didn’t work until I copied and pasted from shutterfly (Spankys suggestion). It won’t work if you try to copy and paste directly from a program on your computer like IE [?]. Like Spanky says, you need a web hosted program that shares your photos. I think that’s right, but I just did what he said to do and it worked.

Dan,
The photos that I posted are hosted on dotphoto.com. I tried to use them with the copy & paste and they showed up in the preview but not when I posted? Not sure what the problem is but I won’t fight it, just do what works. Other guys say the old img &/img won’t work for them now.
Frank, No not my layout. It is the club I attend. Angels Gate HiRailers, in San Pedro Ca. The layout is in an old Army barracks located on Fort McArthur.
The stockyard is really great!
I just finished up reassembling the pre-War 248. I think it turned out OK for a first effort at restoration.
Now I need to repaint the 629 and 630 coaches as the shade of paint I used does not match what is on the coaches. The coaches and engine had been hand-painted with a paint brush at some time in the past. They are a mess.

OK, what are they using for streets? [:D]
