Yard switching module, (Fort Pitt High Railers). There will be (3) additional (6ft) straight track modules, that add to this switching module. A good bit of the material pictured, including the older Ross 4 way, Ross Double Slip switches, and Gargraves track are recycled.
Well not a train or toy train. But useful in our hobby and our other hobbies.
A face shield that will not fog up or glare.
Wish I would have thought of this along time ago!
B&O Railroad Museum. I managed to squeeze in a quick visit during a business trip. The people here are super friendly and able to share a lot of great information about this amazing collection and beautiful round house building. I had to be careful though because I arrived on pirate day...very dangerous 2-6 year olds roaming around!!! .

Last time I saw the Yellow Belly and the Allegheny they were outside!
good to see them under cover.
My grandson and I decided to run all of the 6464 cars that we have this week, only 7, but couldn't decide which engine looked the best pulling them.
His choice was the Williams 746 J that I installed a Lionel fan driven smoke unit in......
And I chose the Lionel 736 Berkshire.....
But I think he made his decision based on how much it smokes now.....
What do you think?

This trio got dusted off, new tires, fresh lube, a smoke unit rebuid, and a little run time before it hits the market.
Since it is winter, here is some fun in the snow and a collection of snow fighting equipment.

Here are some photos and a video of trains running on the Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers' setup last weekend at the Monroeville Greenberg show:

Here is my post war collection on a wall of Glenn Snyder shelving in my office. As you can see the 027 passenger cars are my favorites along with certain steam engines, etc.
After moving from PA to CA I really needed to downsize my post war collection. Many freight cars went to my two grandsons and they are run regularly on their layouts now.
Found some old pics in an envelope......probably from 92-94.....my birthday June 92.....opening my RailScope TV.
Next.....probably the earliest pics of my attic 93-03 layout, using KLine and Kenner buildings....Scale O Gauge buildings from Buildings Unlimited and Walthers changed things. I really was a fan of Kenner Bridge & TurnPike and Girder & Panel building sets as a kid!

The Kenner Grider & Panel sets are why I enjoy building structures kits and scratchbuilding today. That was a toy that was fun and taught you something. I have two vintage sets today.
This is my newest addition. 2006 Pennsylvania Flyer set. Had never been opened. Complete set and came with a CW-80 !! Just ran it a few minutes. Runs great!

I still have my Kenner bridge & turnpike and girder & panel set from 55 or so years ago. Was amazed by making a cloverleaf; the real ones were just becoming popular around Cleveland then. Of course it was on the train layout.
Lou N
I found a set of switches on the bottom of the cab car in this set. I played with them and noticed some more cool lighting effects!
K-line had some cool stuff.
Ben,
The yellow truck and several others are from Menards. VBG I have the Pepsi one, ones that have white box body, and rack truck with tires. Oh yeah Tractor Trailer that has Menards on its side and 3 box trucks that say Menards. They look pretty good on layout. The white box trucks I want to decal with other names if I can find my micro Scale 1/48 truck decal sets.
Just a quick shot while comparing F's.

Just a few photos from some little piddly project I'm building in the middle of nowhere with only a few trains a day.
Hey look there's still one left in blue!

We will be building a similar cable bridge on our layout. It looks like you got the proportions just right. Would you mind sharing how tall the tower is from the roadbed surface to the top of the tower?
Nice job.
Thanks.

Came across these in the attic a few minutes ago. K-line knew how to create excitement in the hobby. They released those great Mikados and Pacifics in multiple road names plus passenger cars. They made the slight adjustments for each engine (like moving the headlight). Their 2 bay diecast coal hoppers have never been beat. I miss K-Line.

All great photos once again everyone. I have had so much going on, I haven't even opened the Weekend Photo Fun for a few weeks. Here are some photos of my grade testing and time test for running a train one pass on the proposed layout plan. Please take a look at my topic with the link in my signature for information behind the photos.
Last is my brand new Bessemer and Lake Erie Premier PS3 F7 A-B I purchased from Mr Muffin. The only engine I own that I bought brand new.
Greetings from Staten Island of Montana! MTH NYCT GP38-2 No. 2109 plies the rails of the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway, serving Howland Hook Marine Terminal. The paint scheme stinks but that's not Mike's fault. It's a beautiful model and, for obvious reasons, I had to have it...
Ride the Rapid!

Terry,
I am with you on the whiskers. I like that and the fat black strip on early B&LE diesels much better than the solid orange.
I grew up along the B&O in Valencia, so I understand what you mean about in your blood.

John brought his Disney train to the club on Wednesday. This is a big crowd pleaser at our open houses. John has done a fantastic job with his scratch built Disney cars.__________________

Pat, the Disney train is cool, but you lost me on the rest of the post.
Bobby Ogage posted:This is the 27-inch long beast that did a lot of damage to my scenery. The AC12 Cab Forward has a fixed pilot that overhangs more than 2 inches on the 042 curves of my railroad. I am thinking that this Rail King AC12 needs to be traded for a Challenger.
Just remember it was originally a Burlington unit, but any Zephyr is cool by me.

Looks to me your having train withdrawal issues.
Lot of eye candy this weekend and as usual this thread rocks. Finger hurts and barley moves but that ok. I know I missed some but to tell the truth all the contributions are great. Speaking of contribution and now I see eyes rolling. New video with some Eurotrash for a sound track. Ok think of it this way its Saturday night It took some doing but did finally get and Atlas TMCC to lash up with a Lionel Legacy.
We had a running session on the Casey Jones High Railers modular layout today. I took my Lionel TMCC Pennsy M1A recently repaired by Alex M. Here are a couple of videos. Alex brought this engine back from the dead!
I
I also ran my Vision Line Reefer in the train.
Thanks for looking at the videos. Please take a look at our new model railroad website we just finished building for the purpose of showcasing all the model railroad groups along with their activities in the Memphis area.

Have a great weekend,

That is a picture worth a thousand words.

The bridge is 90 inches long. Tower is 32 inches high.
Base is Masonite. Sides are .75 square wood. Towers are .25 square wood. Cables are silver paracord from Hobby Lobby and took 48 feet to do.

Doug,
You do have a very good point! I have been itching for over 20 years for a whole room, even if it is only about 140 sq ft, to call my own for trains! I have to keep things in perspective, get a good plan, finish off the room appropriately, and take my time. Thanks for the comment!!
Great Pictures/video's all. Loved them all.
Don't know what happened to my previous post. Looks like a cut and paste mess up. It was rightly deleted by the forum powers that be. Here is the disney video I posted before.

Pat, John sure did a great job on the Disney train! I'm glad you showed two run bys, because I focused on the "loads" on the flat cars and gondolas the first go round, then I saw the movie names on the sides of the cars the second trip. I'll bet the train grabs visitors' attention!
