pittsburghrailran,
I need to make the trip to Venetia someday when there is an open house. I see by Google Maps it is 63 miles and 1 1/4 hours from my home. Thanks for the nice photos!!

Another shot of my son as we chased the 1225 on the 14th. He had such a great time and talks about when we can do it again. He informed me that we need to go see the 765 next!

Don,
That's a really nice suspended layout you have outdoors! I like the through truss bridges!
Love the out door trains

Thanks Mark. You cna see the photos showing the construction on the TCA_MG forum I tried posting the link here, but it only works for members. My youngest son Mark helped me with the bridges.

Thank you, Don. I'm a member so I will take a look. That will be great!
Recent action on the D&RGW switching sub. Layout is progressing slowly, but surely.

Nice photos everyone. Thank you all for sharing.
Yesterday I caught the usually nocturnal Buffalo and Pittsburgh PW-1 local at an unusual mid-day Saturday time in Mars, PA. Here it is heading back to Butler, PA.

Anthony,
I know the place. Marshall Crossing, just outside of Mars on the Mars-Evans City Road. My old stomping grounds. I grew up a half mile from that line over in Valencia. Of course it was the B&O then! Now for the next coincidence. I live about a half mile from the B&P in Butler, my wife's hometown. I hear that train a-coming, rolling round the bend...No I'm not in Follsom Prison. the opening line just came to my head.
So where do you live?
oh, in my excitement, I forgot to say, GREAT PHOTO!
I purchased them at YORK in the Orange Hall at the ARTISA booth. I think the cloths line with cloths and the stands were $7.50. The wooden cloths line prop that lots o people still use in the coal region came from my back yard, free.

Love the boys playing baseball. Those were the good old days long before all those electronic games.
Wow! Now that's a beautiful railroad!
4 generations of Amtrak power ready for the call:
Who else is ready for their GGD El Capitan to Arrive? While these need quite a bit of detail work, they'll do the job in the meantime. 
Finally and most importantly, my youngest asked me yesterday afternoon if she could run some trains. How could I say no?

The texture you've achieved in the pink foam is really interesting - looks very much like eroded fill dirt. Great effect should look terrific when painted!

That was my first thought as well.
