An early start; here is the new to me 785 coaler and the 290 I recently refurbed
Take care
Jim
Well I tried to take some photos in the dark and they came out ok. The engines are a K-line PRR f-3 and a K-line NYC RS-3.
Alex
Jim, nice job on the tower and loco
Alex, great night shots
This poor guy is going to do some trainwatching not by choice. Up above a NYC Mohawk heads a long freight.
My buddies Railking scale GP
Look who’s washing her Vette[:P]
Whats going on in front of the Tiki Lounge?
A picture of my still un-named Depot. Finally wired up the lights.
My 2 3 new acquisitions. (Almost forgot the 57 Chevy.) The Texaco did not have lights - so I put some in. Haven’t done any scenery around them yet. Still too hot to work in the garage much. Maybe November???

After CSXT John twisted my arm here are a few shots of my layout.
(actually a large diarama, not much is running)
And to the Chief’s dismay, my fictious railroad connects with the C & O (now CSX)
Another day of gossip at the “General Store”.
After the Diesel gets it’s fuel, into the “house” for the night.
(the roof on the “house” does leak,they’ve been trying to get it repaired for
quite awhile.)
Little Diesel getting ready to take on fuel.
(and the FRA (and crews) has been all over us to get handrails on the engine.)
(outside braced boxcar just came out of the paint shop, lazy guys couldn’t/wouldn’t put
lettering on it.)
Fire engine going back to quarters after a run.(end of that part of layout)
Chimney Rock. (so named for an old chimney that was covered in the house.)
Fire tower in back ground is a HO building, hopefully it gives an illision of distance.
[apologize for any dust, etc. you see on the overhead wires, I don’t dust as often as I
should, and my house is over over 100 years old. (constant problem)]
Great pics guys and gal! Love those 18th Century tank cars, Tom! AB is always good and that caboose seems strangely inviting and friendly [:O][;)] Jim - I really like that coal tower a lot - is it a PW or a repro?
Great pictures everyone !! Glad Walt posted some of his layout pictures too !! I have a few that my buddy I work with took for me at the Ft. Eustis Va.Transportation Museum, while he was there . He’s actually a trained police officer & now works as a yardmaster weekends in our yard & is an engineer the rest of the time. He became an officer now in the Nat.Gaurd & was down there for his BOC training. A very busy guy !!
Here’s a steam eng. they used to use there & some other rolling stock.
Old Jordon Spreader.
I can’t find the picture he took of an old Army truck that had RR wheels on it. Guess he forgot to download that one !
Thanks, John
Today we are honoring those great plastic men and women who are found on the Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash Railroad.[:)]
Tough day on the river…
Sun sets across the canyon…
Switch light bouncing off the Phantom…
A old American Flyer hard at work.
K-Line C&O pulling into the depot.
Another K-Line coming home
The K-ine train master looks great! Thats a PRR model right?
Alex
Yes PRR with TMCC and Railsounds
Great photos gang. Lisa, great job. Locomutt, sorry we will not let you into the great society of NS. [(-D][:-^]
Great shots everyone!
Love the scenery on some of our newer contributors layouts. Very well done. Lisa, your depot looks great! I am sure you’ll get a name on her soon.
Walt (Locomutt), great scenery, I do think it would look more complete if you added a third rail[;)] Just kidding. All comers here are welcome, we even have some Flyer folks. I am glad you are here. I had read a Railroad Model Craftsman and Scale Model Railroader in which the magazines were scathed by subscribers for having a photo spread of…dare I say it, a 3-rail layout. Hey, we all love trains, and that should be what binds us together.
Please keep contributing. I hope to get to the point to add here too.
Dennis
Everyone,
Great photos, thanks for posting.
Buckeye,
“Today we are honoring those great plastic men and women who are found on the Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash Railroad.” Clever, I liked it.
Locomutt,
Nice diorama. I especially like the lines on the power poles and the cloud to cloud lightning flash in the background.
Oh, I feel so relieved now that Walt won’t be going to the Dark side !! [(-D] Remember Walt, your daughter will unfortunately, sometimes, maybe, have to move some N&S cars, I just hope she doesn’t have to sit in any N&S engines !! [(-D]
Thanks, John
