Weekend Photo Fun starts now.
Last weekend the Roanoke Valley Model Railroad Club held our open house.
The video below is a quick walk-through of all the layouts of the Roanoke Valley Model Railroad Club, in the basement of the Virginia Museum of Transportation.
Let's see your pictures.

Plastic tree is up and the train loop set-up around the tree. I'm currently without a layout. So this is it. On this loop is my early 70's MPC Cannonball set. Where the love for O gauge started for me, all those years ago!
Next is the G scale layout at my local mall.
Rest in Peace Mr President.
We will be running this engine at the TMB open house this weekend first on point for a Desert Storm military consist and them pulling a string of Yellow UP passengers cars for Bush's Funeral train. Check out my video of this train posted earlier this week on the forum
Heres some fun for this weekend.
Back end of the parking garage.
Scott, is that the multi-gauge layout at the museum? I don't know why I thought it was in the basement but I see windows.
Quick video on the Lionel subway opening doors
That is pretty cool Alex! 👍
Have a great weekend!
A not to be remembered 2017 Christmas layout memory 
After having the layout up and running and fully scenicked I started getting derailment UNDER my plateau WAY IN THE BACK, of course. I investigate and find the below shown issue. Start dismantling things to get to it. In the overall image below, the area is right below were the red engine on top of the plateau is sitting.
What remains as a mystery is how it possibly could have happened. It's not like someone could have moved the homasote that the track is screwed down to.

Happy Friday!!
Work on the layout is on hold until the holidays are over. Just not enough free time. There is TIME however, to run some trains!
1666 leading set 1409W from 1946 - 
Recently acquired 211 Texas Special FA-2s roll through town w/ some late postwar freight in tow - 
Picked up this nicely restored 2560 crane car this week - 
Pinch hitting for the 2025, Lionel's first MPC era GG1 reissue is seen leading set 1430WS over Cowan Creek -

Norfolk & Western & Southern EMD diesels idle the night away as they wait for their next assignment.

Just after sunrise, NS Dash-9 9716 crosses the Conemaugh River as it rolls through Johnstown, PA with a westbound manifest

That is the multi-gauge layout I have been building with my son Joshua and Tim Pierce. It is in the basement. The entrance is in the back of the museum. The windows are on ground level.
The Club meets on Tuesday nights 6:30 to 8:30. We have an open house anytime the museum, has a special event. Yes, we would love to have new members! This past weekend was the Candy Cane Express weekend at the museum.

Not part of the kit.

Now I wish I had one of those diesels. Very good yesterday watching that train run thru Texas.
KCS 616 was painted this way to correspond to the winning drawing in a Louisiana grade school coloring contest to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of the USA. The KCS Lines were always very family-oriented and had a big ceremony to announce the winner. They also later painted a second unit in the same scheme, the 642, an SD40-2.
a lot more great photo's here : https://trainspo.com/photo/53179/

Carol Fare is one of about 30 volunteers on the Kansas City Northern Miniature Railroad. She drove a train load of visitors on Train Day
Finally getting some benchwork up, starting in the corner, my layout plan is still unknown, I have saved a few from Ken-O-scale designs. I am utilizing some of my framing from my old layout. What I have in place is not set yet. Nick T.
One more video from last week.

Being a N&W fan, my UP rolling stock is non-existent. Fortunately, I have the UP 4141. The consist was borrowed from another RC3R member (thanks, Bob!). Regardless, this was a hit this evening at the GBGH.
I bought this solely because of the cool paint job. Today, I'm grateful to have it. Rest in peace, Mr. President.
Going through my files and found this old map.
I have that map too, Bill!
