The Santa Fe Northern, pressed into freight service in the 1950s as passenger traffic declines, rolls along unawares of danger lurking ahead, slithering in its path.
nearby, a massive serpent lurks, waiting to gobble up the Fastmail
But BB the beagle arrives just in time to save the Fastmail. The snake slithers away, leaving just its skin
BB the beagle wrestles the skin, stomping and chewing on it, a definite victory over the slithering menace.
BB the wonder beagle to the rescue again!
Raymans nice diner! Kitbashed?

Thanks, John
The coal yard. Trucks are from Ertl with Berkshire Valley dump bodies added. The coal conveyors are from Model Tech and were just addded to the scene this week. I used the HO versions that seemed to fit better with the size of the trucks. The hopper is an Atlas fishbelly and the engine a Lionel 0-8-0.
WOW…That is a high light tower, John. Flag looks great.

Spankybird, Those city backdrops look interesting. Still looking to fill in spots on my city area. Do you have a source for them ? If they are simply cutouts the look great.
Great photos and modelling,EVERYONE!!![tup][tup]
FJ&G - you obviously don’t have a rodent problem…
Thanks Chuck !! We like to have some fun at work some days !! [(-D]

Our latest acquisition… AC4400
(Needed a pair of Diesels to accomodate some of the modern day freight cars. )
As the AC4400 runs through the AGHR club layout, with the modern cars, it steps back into time.
As the consist left the yard, I noticed it picked up a helper.
The consist head toward the destination… yesterday
After traveling for a significant time, arrival in Rosyvale (not Rosyville). Aw, is that Ms Etta, preparing to open the store? (Rumor has it that a local politician makes weekly moonshine deliveries.)
Passing through the country side, our consist impressed shop shoppers at the Eagleton Amusement Park and Galleria.
Unfortunately, that was the last we have seen of the AC4400’s and its consist, apparently they are lost in time, waiting for a layout to be built.
john --nice pole my freind bery nice
fj-g- very nice the detail is really good, i like the wheels sitting on the side there, and bb to the rescue

Dave, they are like a photo on 1/4" thick board. I will check on them this week and see if there is anythink on the back of them.
David - you better watch BB if you ever have a lawyer over! Nice pics guys, thanks for sharing! John, you be careful climbing up that pole to take the flag down every night - just kidding!
Another week of no progress thanks to a rash of that nasty work stuff.
Here are two new additions I received this week:
A much nicer example of the post war large hopper:
and the elusive green version of the post war NYC gondola:
Finally got to run some trains [late].
Fast piggy back and double stack train passing local freight at tunnel.
I’ve been passed!!!
Man!!! Slow that fast train down. I’m being passed again! [BTW: Haze over engines is smoke]
As it goes by.
Fast piggy back and double stack.
Slow frieght.
