a picture a day....

Another mother and baby photo.

While 95% of my trains are from the steam/diesel transition era, I do have a soft spot for some Chessie equipment, having seen them in my late teens and 20s. I actually couldn't resist buying it.  

Here's my photo for this day July 8, 2017 and 6 more for this past week, for I've been away all week and not able to post.  Click on photos at bottom of post for captions.

Great scenery !

Today was work on the turntable day...re-programming the lead and whisker tracks....PTC 3 by NYRS...(programmable turntable controller)...

Here is my contribution for today July 9, 2017.  " Sunday afternoon at the lake "

hello, what kind of track is that with grey ties, thanks

I have been planning on buying and modifying parts in order to have a replacement floor for my Atlas reefer that suffered from Zinc Pest. Since I have no idea when a replacement from Atlas will be available, I thought of and planned what I would do to solve the problem myself and not have to worry about zinc pest again or when I could expect a replacement. I saw a very good price on replacement floor boards that were made of plastic and were close to the original dimensions and look of the original floor. The picture below is the replacement I installed and for me it is a great solution to the problem I had. I even added weight inside the car to make up for the difference in weight between the diecast and plastic parts.

New street lights...

Briansilvermustang, The track is Atlas O with concrete ties. They are actually more of a flat white.
