Haven’t seen one started yet…
One from a few years ago…
Hi,
Not a whole lot of progress on the Bronx Terminal in the last while, but I did add some roadbed to the top.
The roadbed precisely matches the track I have already built and I can use this as an aid in aligning all the sections when its installed.
I also gave the top, including the roadbed a coat of brown paint to seal it all in. It may be a while until I have the trackwork installed and in the meantime this looks better than bare plywood.
I have a few more shots of the progress on my site below.
Enjoyed the Photos on your site Tim !
Here’s a couple of photos of my new loco
A Rivarossi H-8 with Lok Sound
Terry–
You lied, it’s BRASS, LOL!! Seriously, I think your second run Rivarossi has even MORE detail than my first run. Especially that first shot–by golly, that’s one tall, beautiful lady, isn’t she? Great shots!

What a great looking steamer!
Here’s the last bus for the day pulling in to the stop on my UK layout.

Been extremely busy with re-doing trackwork, I just got my new NCE power-pro, so I want to re-wire the layout, then I decided that my trackwork is not what I really want, so to expand the yard the way I wanted, the town had to be moved, things have gotten crazy.
This is where the town used to be:
Moving the town here:
It is so nice to see all the variety in vision and execution here each weekend. Terry, in spite of our mutual issues with the Allegheny, I hope you are enjoying it. I really like the model very much. It is huge, dwarfing the Y-6b and Challenger.
I return this week to an old favourite, although slightly modified in terms of saturation, and I think I cropped it as well.
Some nice lookin’ locos here this week. [swg]
While this one’s not mine, I did do all of the work on rebuilding it, an old Akane USRA 2-10-2:

The Pioneer Zephyr comes to town.
OOH! the building looks nice in front. I’ve been imagining a similar scene for when the layout gets built. Who made the Zephyr?
The rest of you need to move the engine pics to the Trains forums where they belong.
BN Pacific Pride II GP38 leads BN GP9 and ATSF GP60M pulling an intermodal train under my bed.
The Zephyr is one of the Con-Cor HO models released last year some time.
[:D] I’m going to break my own rule and quote your entire post, pic and all. I love it!!!
“What year is it and what ya got in it”? “58, 283 with 2-4s, 4 sp with Hurst shifter, and 4.11 gears”.
Grampy,
If Super is running 25.9, how much is diesel?? I’m guessing about 8 cents per gallon? If so, I’m on my way with my pickup for a cheap fill up!

GAPPLEG, that’s even prototypical. Unfortunately it goes both ways as towns encroach on railroads.
nice crossing gates with that Pioneer Zephryr must be NJ Imtermational’s they are sure nice signals.The layout is really looking nice.
Really great photos as usual–I LOVE that under-the-bed Intermodal!
Well, working with my old computer this weekend, the new one decided to act like a Prima Donna, and I retired from accompanying them, so I’ll just let it wait out its snit. Unfortunatuely, this older one doesn’t have Adobe Flash installed, so my Photobucket photos can’t be edited. Anyway, here’s some I took today of my new Yellowstone (the ex-Basket Case) on her maiden run with a late-October reefer extra.
Picking up her train from 4-8-2 #1527. Sisters #3903 and #3910 are waiting for their own eastbounds to come in. It’s gonna be a BUSY day around here.
Taking the train up South Yuba Canyon past the Champion Mine
Past Wagon Wheel Gap between the South and Middle Forks of the Yuba
Passing westbound “Royal Gorge” at Twin Bridges on Middle Yuba
Waving from the caboose–all going well.

It sure is cool seeing images of your layout, Tom. Two thumbs way up! [tup] [tup]
Simon and Grampy, really nice work! I enjoyed that. [8D]
