Here are some pics from the last OTTS meeting on the Museum’s layout.

Happy Fathers Day !
Chuck, That is a nice looking CNJ Trainmaster. Lionel or williams?
Don’t know if anyone will find it interesting buy I am building a stock yard for the layout and took a few progress photos.
Drawing.
Constructed over drawing.

John,
That CNJ Trainmaster is a Williams. The first engine that I bought
from them in 1997. Looks and runs great.
I think a stock yard is a great idea. With a lot of stock cars.
Chuck
Chuck, I have a Williams Trainmaster in the other CNJ colors (green and yellow) that I bought on ebay some time ago. It was new and runs great. May convert it to TMCC. I love Tainmasters, have 4 of them.
As for the stockyard, I only have room for two stock cars on the siding were I am going to place the stockyard, but can keep a few in operation also.

About a two weeks ago there was a discussion about pigs flying. Well, here are some photos of the “pigs” flying on my layout.
Buckeye…That is truly an answer to the " Pigs " conversation. Nice looking trailer cars. Did you just get them ??
John I would very much like to see pictures of your
stock yard, when it’s done.
Chuck
I got them last Thanksgiving. You just haven’t seen everything in the closet, yet.
That gives me something to look forward to. For sure.
great work guys.

Got near enough finishing the $5.00 project to post a few photos.
This is a pool hall with a questionable enterprise upstairs. I built it from stuff I had laying around. The goal being to keep the cost of materials under $5.00. Not counting the lights, which I would have to buy for a kit anyway, this is probably under $2.00.
Here’s a thread on teh materials used and how it’s built:

Frank, very creative! I’m gonna study your “how to build it” link later today. Much appreciated; wish everyone would include explanations to help others
Nice photos all with the B&W photos and night scenes; not just better layouts but better photography all the way around!
HOT over the weekend so just poured 2” thick concrete on the other side of the warehouse—my first road!!! I built it like a sidewalk; sand, added rebar and then poured quickcrete; so can walk on it too!
Actually a parking area for trucks loading on the other side (still have to add some delivery doors).
The area is under the deck so it gets shade 23 hours a day so I don’t see a problem with paint fading. I’m leaving my die cast trucks and other vehicles outside all year and spraying WD-40 on the underside to slow rust. Some rust and weathering, however, is highly desireable.
Here’s some photos.
Also earlier in the week I got the warehouse spur in place so ALL trackwork for phase 1 is now in place (but needs adjusting, tamping, sealing etc).
Warehouse spur in place; BB tamps the ballast
Likewise, my toy train friend is making good progress on his layout, as evidenced here…
love the pictures
