Love the photos as usual. Those wood burners really smoke up the place. Cough, cough, cough… [:D]

Is that dad shopping for more trains?


The Lionel Century Club GG1 is held up at the freight plaza.


Kodi the Husky Dog keeps a weary eye on the train crew.

Hey guys how you do post a pic here?[%-)]

My new Hershey 2 Bay Hopper


Dreaming of trains… Like father, like son.

One more for the road!


The crew of the Pennsy T-1 look down the tracks to see what the hold up is. Perhaps Kodi is causing some trouble…nah not Kodi!

You do nice work Marty!!

My progress this week includes:

A loading dock for the big factory:

Finishing up, lighting and weathering the garage/shack for the dead end at Brace Avenue:

it started life as a piece of illustration board folded up:

Received my new (to me) post war passenger cars:

got started on the two corner building at the end of Brace Avenue:

and picked up a couple of new building fronts, including City Litho Company:

I have a different spot picked out for it, and I have to pretty much destroy it to repaint it and weather it. Also need to build a loading dock that will extend out to teh tracks.

From my 2005 Christmas layout:

Overall view for perspective.

Nice to see some picture. Always appreciated the time and effort you put in for your Christmas layout. This years is no exception. Thanks for sharing!

I’ll second that Marty. WIth all the work Walt puts in to creating a new layout every Christmas, and then taking it down, he’s got to be one of teh hardest working guys in the train hobby.

Good afternoon,

Good pictures as usual.

Frank, you certainly make a lot of progress each week. I have one of those City Litho buildings. Modified mine somewhat. Will post when I have the group of three buildings that it is in complete.

Today I am posting the first of the businesses on my layout named for a grandchild.

Kaitlyn’s Styling Salon, It looks like business is pretty good as they have to wait on the porch. At 13 she has her heart set on a Miata, but on my layout set in the 50’s she has to settle for a 1938 Jag SS100.

The rear view has a few customers setting on the porch also. This is where the train lovers set to watch the yard action.

It needs a little landscaping and the interior lighting wired, otherwise this one is finished.

great photos as always guys. Great work on your layouts.

Thanks Spankybird. Good directions.

I’ve been waiting to have something to post. It’s not much, but here we go…

This one even has a shot of the budding control panel with little hands eagerly awaiting the day…

Thomas is waiting too…

Someday…

My most recent Postwar acquisition. #1862 loco with passenger and mail car. Really nice shape too. Really like this one a lot
