a picture a day....

JLC GG1 I purchased several years ago and just opened last evening at the club. Beautiful locomotive! Great sounds (RS5.0) too.

ET&WNC Number 12 slows for the Hunter, TN water tower with a train of coal hoppers before heading toward Elizabethton, while an Army staff car and the Ensor boys wait patiently for the train to pass.

It looks like everyone is enjoying working on their layouts and the progress looks fantastic. So many super nice scenes, beautiful Locomotives, people in action, new structures popping up everywhere, Amazing.  Somewhere in the mix of things it looks like a mans taking the load off while catching up on the news. Have a great week, stay safe, stay healthy, pray continually. Happy Railroading 

Leapnlarry. Great pictures. Love that super long girder bridge. Did you make that?  Liked the radio tower as well and that looks like a commercial product but by whom?  I see a hint of the Rico station in front. I also built one of these from a Lionel kit I believe. Really liked it but never had space for it on my layout!! Thanks for posting

Don McErlean, Thank You for the compliments, and the girder looking bridge effect was scratch built by myself, the radio station is the WiFi model by a Lionel, the Rico Station is an aluminum model purchased many years ago.. The radio station allows me to listen to the 1950’s music via Spotify while I work on the layout. Everyone seems to be having fun today. Happy Railroading 

For today: " The P5a modified" 

For today: " Wagon tops of the B&O kind on this morning's local freight.... Wally, the head end brakeman, waits for a signal from Jake, the second brakeman who is standing at the end of the blue wagon top ."

I thought you'd get a chuckle out of this. Christmas 1974, I had just turned 5 a month before. My first train set!

I still have that locomotive...

Its been awhile and it took me a little to get up to speed on all the photos here! But I will tell you it sure is fun seeing all the great photos you are all putting up! Makes me want to get back to the train room as soon as I can! Thanks for posting all the great photos, it sure puts a smile on my face!

I hope you all are having a great week and even a better weekend!

Mike g, your right about all the fine work being posted over the last 4 to 8 weeks, simply amazing. Time to work on our layouts has been diverted to house work, yard work, painting, plumbing, You name it, it takes us away from our model railroads. This pandemic has created a lot of issues and I pray everyone is staying safe, staying healthy, praying continually. Here’s a few pictures for review.
