For many of us the weekend starts today, so let start Weekend Photo Fun early.
On my way back from York there was a bad accident on I-81. Since I wasn't moving I decided to take a detour and go around the mess. I drove right by a friend's street and called him to make a quick stop.
Let's see your pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone........I have 4 days off.........2 of them will be spent with the modular group running trains........more pics later this weekend.....
To start, a few weeks ago I went to Gettysburg PA. Here's a pic of their gorgeous train station:
As an added treat, in the bookstore I ran into Lynly and Brian (Mr & Mrs TrainDiesel)!

Happy Thanksgiving all!
Here's a couple of pics I took back in the Summer. I thought it was quiet appropriate for today.

Earlier this summer I needed to pick up my son at the Harrisburg PA bus station. What I did not realize, is the bus station is also the train station! So while I was waiting for his bus to arrive, I wandered around and took some pictures. I found this O gauge display which operates with a button on the side.
I also wandered outside a got some shots .I knew the NS Erie Heritage unit was in the area, but had no idea where it was going or when. So when it did show up, I was totally out of position. This is the best I could do in a hurry. The station is undergoing renovation and parts are off limits. The train shed is clearly from the Pennsy steam era ! The actual brick structure is not very impressive. More utilitarian.

Silver Lake,
Love the Playmos! We have a house full of them, pretty much the whole civilization.
Just made my daughter's day!
All the best,

Just a quick shot of my Sunset F7s with the correct number of rails under them.
Fast becoming my favorite train An MTH GG1 and Kline passenger cars purchased from my friend Lee on the forum. The REA car was purchased from Vinces trains. Thanks to Marty F. who told me he saw that Vince had it at York.

Frank - Your scenery detail is stunning and what is even more stunning is your ability to bring your scenes to life. Your scenes always convey the energy of life IMHO. Thanks so much for sharing your work. As I've said many times, your artistry inspires me. Hope your Thanksgiving was great!!
A few shots from the Science Museum of VA show......Early, before the big crowds.

When I read what you said here, yesterday, it added to the celebration of the day, and I had to read it to my wife, who thought, as did I, that your words were very gratifying. It's a nice thing to be informed that the work of my hands and imagination appeals to others, too. Thank you very much, Patrick W.

As I mentioned last weekend, I'm fresh out of 'not yet used' pictures of 2014 Christmas layout so I think I'll highlight the main areas for now.
This is the elevated plateau area that was in the rear: 4'x12'

This is the result of Day 1. Doesn't look like much but hauling all of that Homasote (11'x14' worth) and underlying blue board, and laying it down took a lot of energy!

I noticed the photo above of a DART light rail train. Here's a photo I took of our (Pittsburgh's) light rail subway the day the extension under the Allegheny River to the North Shore was dedicated in March of 2012. The original section was opened July 4th, 1985 and I was there too. We are incredibly lucky that rather than street running in downtown, our system operates in a subway. Very unusual for a city our size to have a subway.

aubv: That rock wall is stunning. Which rock-wall paper did you use to create it? Thanks for sharing this great idea.

Hi Walt, Is the layout going to be on the floor?
FrankM.
Here's one of the pics I posted last week. Note the stone foundation and the stone on Abuv's turntable pit walls...its the same material from Noch.

I was there several times in the late '80s and early '90s. Yes it is A great old station.
