"Big Tinplate": Here is a picture of my coal burner next to the lead mine. I had it fired up a couple of weeks ago and took a few photos...
Thanks to your help, Cary Tearose, I am able to post a black and white photo to the Black and White Wednesday thread. This is a shot of my 1930's era Super Streets trolley layout. As you can see, it's incomplete (gotta lot of paving to do), and wire to string. I use both 3-rail tinplate trolleys and (when the wire is up) 12-volt scale models. The smaller flanges on the scale stuff work well on the Super Streets track. Structures are a mix of kits and scratch-built, including some I built from Frank Ellison's plans in the old Model Builder magazine. It's small, but I have fun with it.

First time to fire it up this year... and it's in September. I'm beginning to think that if I am too busy to run the steamer, then I am probably just too busy...
Here's one entitled "Which train should I take?

Hi Chris - Love the idea of a tiered setup for under the tree! Is the elevated track O or Standard Gauge? And what are you using as supports for the elevated?
Thanks,

It is a McCoy Chief Cle Elum. Picture and text in this picture is from the McCoy's catalog from 1982-1983. Great looking and running engine!
Took an inventory of my 500 series cars, now up to 36. Also a photo of my #9 trolley that can run off the third rail or off my live catenary. I need to add some people in it and a trailing red light. My parts list is growing for York !!
Lionel 'Thoroughbreds' - Berkshires 736, 726RR, & 726. I added some 'grain' to give it an old fashioned look.
Here's some shots from 40 years ago of the Wyomissing PA Mall layout. We ran four trains on the two other loops. Two street cars in the area aside the Roundhouses. A coal train in the wiggly mountain loop next to the Power house. A commuter train around 921 Scenic Park. There was a non operating Lionel race set next to the commuter line. Plus an operating Lionel airplane flying about. It was up for the month of January 1977. By the way all the trains and accessories were original, no repaints.
