a picture a day....

                                               Coffee time at NJ Hirailers.

September 10, 2019 • Train Room Gary rail-fanning at the Michigan Central Depot.  This location has become a popular spot for tourist. I ask a tourist to take my photo and we talked about trains, what ells. He told me he was in downtown Detroit for an electrical engineering convention and he was from Las Angles, California. He does model railroading, the other gauge.

You meet the coolest people out rail-fanning, or was that on a Honda........

Gary

                  There are people still enjoying the boardwalk at NJ Hirailers. 

The Don and The Juan all dressed up with trigger man "Fast Finger Eddie"  who's sending a message as he uses Otto's car as target practice.  Otto is somewhat put off  by what is happening to his car.  

Some pumpkins for the season.

So cool! Thanks for sharing this - put a smile on my face. Where did you get those awesome cars?

I doubt the soldier is gonna give the sailor a ride...

"The Dinner Train"

I need a coach converted into table seating or booths to complete it.

I have seen the bullet-riddled car, that's the Greenlight 1:43 scale "Godfather" 1941 Lincoln Continental with Bullet Hole Damage

I wanted to have one sitting over behind the Army area on my layout but it wouldn't have made sense for anyone in that region to have had a car like that, at the time...

Johan, I really like that WP SW. Great pic taken over the roof of a Tugboat.

I saw that car on sale at the local Toy 'B' Us before it closed and I pondered getting one but never did. They were about $20-ish retail if memory serves. I don't regret it as it wouldn't have made any sense on my layout (the Blue Ridge area of Eastern Tennessee during WW2) but it was a neat looking model.

It'd look great on the back of a flat rack or parked in an alley with a gloss black-painted 'oil spill' pooling up underneath...

That's a beautiful picture, Patrick. It would make a very nice postcard. Arnold
