The mountains MR. New England Yank makes fun of. [Don’t mess with Moter Nature and the Chief. He’s getting a bad Northeasterner for his misbehaving]
And the Brown Mountain Boys are picking and singing. [:D]
I thought the saying was:
a pickin’ and a grinnin’

My grandson the future American Flyer Train fan reading CTT (Jan 07).
In the article he is pointing to a sawmill, here is my sawmill on the layout
Have fun

rain so indoors making toy train flatcar loads; if you see the big squeeze clamp on the right side of last photo, it popped off the tank car and hit me in the jaw, which is sore.
no warning came with the clamp so I think I’ll just go ahead and sue them[:D]
Here are a few pics from the Open House at The Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum.
Classic F3 A-B-A in classic B&O - one of the most (IMHO) handsome paint schemes ever put on a locomotive.

GG1 Crashes
By AP
It started out as a regular day on the Hendersonville subdivision, but little thought it would end like this. At 2 Pm a GG1 locomotive pulling the crack passenger train the Spirit of St Louis, crashed into the rear of the 2:30 freight which was idle at Henderson Staci on, no injury’s have been reported but the damage is wide spread, and the Pennsy Mail Line is blocked. Trains are expected to be running again this afternoon.
More of the trains we grew up with – Lionel Flat Cars . . .
and 6464 Box Cars:
Inside the roundhouse, this is the best pic I have - and it doesn’t do it justice - the architecture is very impressive, and they have a wooden turntable inside too…
GP-40 in B&O Freight:
Ma & Pa Inspection Car - don’t want to ride this down cobblestone streets!
Outside the roundhouse is a nice sized Garden RR, here a CSX freight train heads into a tunnel, with a roundhouse and turntable in the background:
Here a Western Maryland freight train crosses a truss bridge:
Heading over to the Passenger Car repair shop, you pass some pretty impressive livery, here a C&O MOW Ballast Tamper waits for its call to duty:
Across from there is a nicely restored C&O Passenger car, inside is the museum’s HO scale layout:
Across the platform from the passenger car is a Perre Marquette Switcher:
Behind the Switcher is a Reefer, inside is a movie theater - they had a video of a Lionel Layout playing:
Behind that is a B&O Woodsided Caboose, Susan took a rest inside - no pics of that [;)]:
Inside the Repair Shop…

finally got to building the rises and laying the track. i know there is a lot of track on a small space, but i have decided the layout will have more of a “toy” feel to it. still need to decide about the center. some spurs, coal/lumber yard matbe.
GO TRIBE! (Sabathia is making the Sox hitter look silly!)
Downtown at the station.
JON,
Love the tiny dancer in the window at Petes.[;)]

Another good Sunday Photo Fun.
Brent, The CNJ #1000 is supposed to be at the B&O Musuem, did you see it? It is the first Production Diesel/Electric owned by a US railroad. A small 300 hp box cab locomotive. I hope they don’t have it sitting outside like the GG1 rusting away.
BTW, I got an email from the Harrisburg Chapter of NRHS saying that they are hunting a new home/owner for the GG1 (4859) now sitting at the Harrisburg Passenger Station as Amtrak wants to make use of the track it is sitting on.
Who says Lionel diesels don’t smoke [and I am not holding down the smoke button]. Scale SD80’s lashed with Dash 8 in middle. [BTW: don’t tell Jim A that the mountains turned green with sploches of brown]
Right side [also green with sploches of brown]
[BTW: the foggy look at the portal is smoke but they are moving out so you don’t notice it going straight up]
Some old visitors [converted to TMCC and the lead NS was a repaint]
