a picture a day....

very nice engine collection, like the glass display cases.

Continuing with photos of my past Dallas PA layout, 1982-1989.

I went to make a dump run today and as always go by the old CSX closed down RR yard.

I took some picture to share of all the old cars with graffiti painted on them. There was so many I couldn't see the end. The yard has been cleaned up quiet a bit . I guess it's still used to send older cars because as I understand it the yard was used to repair and refurbish cars.

Sad here in Old Clinchfield Town.

Here is a sad one. My Christmas tree layout, the way it looks for 10 months of the year.

getting the morning mail....

Local moments...different angles....

The entire hobby is such fun.

Thank you, Frank!  And thank you to all who have posted great photos!

Theater time.

This week my picture of the day has featured my past Dallas, PA layout, 1982-1989. Here's another. I did sell that C&NW FM after stripping the plastic gear trying to pull too many cars. However, I missed it so much I bought another that had metal gears, and had the late Boxcar Bill add sound and TMCC.  So, it has many years of service ahead. Second photo is the replacement.

Station platforms are full.... maybe someday the construction crews will get station area completed.  They also still need to dump some ballast and repaint the middle three 156 platform roofs..

Every square inch, the truth. I think we have all seen such a place and recognize it in your modeling. Cool.

Dennis, nice collection of 156 station platforms. This is my favorite platform as that was the one I had as a kid.

Here's mine for today and yesterday ( which I skipped due to having a mega work load )

Christmas, 2014. I was rushing to get the trains running in time for Christmas that year. Not much on here yet, I hadn't even cut out the doorway to the storage area underneath yet.

Gone fishing on the Solid Rock Railroad, please forgive the poor photography:

Here is my contribution for today June 9.    "Old junker and a GG 1"

Last picture of the week of my former layout in Dallas, PA.  1982-1989. The D&H units are long gone, but the UP 2-8-4 and Wabash GP7 are still around. I had them both for sale at the last York, but there were no takers.

W&W/Craig, WOW! Never knew that existed! Thanks!

Another favorite neighborhood spot...

A project I much enjoyed creating, after visiting such roadside places in Pennsylvania.

WOW! That made me look twice, at first glance I thought it was real. Great shot!

Your Depot Street looks great. I can just about hear all the action. You've crafted a scene so true to life it has its own built-in sound effects!
