Morning guys, wonderful photos that you all have shared!
Artie, I really like the huey but I am thinking more of a police helicopter .
@Capetrainman, Paul great looking scene and I am sure glad that the Morrison Door Co. has let them park there for the rally's most of the summer! Sure is nice to see Atrie and Ted show up, as for the VW van 10 to 1 says it belongs to Lee D. He kinda looks like he could have been a free loving hippie from the past!
FOR TODAY: Two trains and a trolley! The photographer caught a Pennsy PA2 poking out of the tunnel and a Pennsy A5 on the bridge as a trolley exits a tunnel. What are the chances of that happening? 
I have not posted on this thread for at least a month, so I thought I'd catch up with pics of 31 close up scenes from around Warrenville.
Check them out in my latest post here: www.WarrenvilleRailroad.com

I had added an LED so the hobos could see better:
Stangtrain,
WHERE are the Hooterville girls?

Patrick, that looks great! I like all the different views of your layout! To me it sure looks like a wonderful place to live!
Lee, that’s a beautiful photograph!

Great sight standing on the bank by the PA2 looking up through the scenery to the far away mountains and sky Patrick.
I've seen the bridge that the A5 is on but never grouped this way. Nice.
As far as the chances of this sight happening.........the PA2 should be traveling at anout 75 mph....The trolley about 35 mph .......the A5 about 35 .....the distance the trolley only had to travel , times the relative humidity , plus the wind velocity , the difference in altitude of the three machines........
........honestly Patrick , I haven't a clue😖
Is there going to be a " question and answer " segment in THAT BOOK of yours ? 😉
Five way over-under meet.

That candy train looks delicious.

Beautiful bright and colorful photo. What type of lighting do you have it really makes everything pop?
@Up & Down the Monon posted:That candy train looks delicious.
Thanks, but when we have kids over, I don’t tease them with that train. Instead, I run one that tastes delicious. Menards M&M cars with loaded hoppers.
Time to buy a new boat. These two guys can't decide which one they want, but junior has his favorite. But wait theres new inventory coming in on the boat loader.
Keep those trains running!
Jeff
Thanks Mike g. and Dallas thank you both for your kind works regarding my most recent post. I took that photo yesterday afternoon using a combination of natural and artificial light.
FOR TODAY: Bambi searches for food. 
Pat, now I see Bambi in the photograph of the two trains and a trolley! Excellent!
It the annual "Spring Lake Halloween Costume Party". Hope no one falls off the observation deck, things could get crazy. The "Peter Witt Streetcar" will get everyone home safely.
Happy Halloween!
Keep those trains running!
Jeff
@Mark Boyce posted:Lee, that’s a beautiful photograph!
Thanks, Mark. In color, it was "meh," but some photos work well with the 'old speed graphic photo' treatment.
Morning guys, sorry I have been away for a couple days, but what wonderful photos!
@trumptrain, Wonderful photo of Bambi, you must have used a game camera to catch that shot!
@p51, Lee outstanding B&W photo! Reminds me of photos that my grandfather use to show me.
@Jeffery Boat, great looking boat shop, My grandmother use to have a Chris*Craft 36'boat. I love the Halloween party going on there!
I hope you all have a great Monday!

Thanks. I have track lighting. I started with CFL bulbs, but when they burn out, I use LED bulbs. That spot still has a CFL.
FOR TODAY: Yesterday afternoon ... passengers wait on the platform for the N&W J class and its' train to return. The J got them here on Friday night and now it's time to return home. These passengers, all tourists, have spent the weekend here in town enjoying the fall scenery, hiking trails, craft ale, good food, and music. 
This morning as the sun began to rise this logging train is on its' way to the mill. It will pick up loaded cars along the the way. Just another day on the railroad.

Nice warm tones for that first photo Patrick. It certainly brings home the feel of autumn.
The upper left hand light backlight source makes the second scene a really special one.
Nice. 😉
Patrick, even without trains in your photos, the story of the folks waiting for the train to get back home is inspiring! With all the fall colors and people waiting at the station is just Outstanding!
I can really relate to the logging train as there were a lot of that around here where I live. Next time I get to town I will take a photo of the one in the middle of town for visitors to see! Now they use some of the old track for tourist rides on seated hand cars. You go out 3 miles and then back 3 miles!
Thank so much Mike g and Dallas for your kind words! Wow!! 3 miles out on a hand car and back is certainly a great workout! LOL!
The logging train shot is one I took using natural light. The back light in the upper left corner, which you refer to Dallas, is actually natural light peering in through the east window in my train room. I love the way the light captures the telephone/graph/electric lines and the train itself.
FOR TODAY: The fellas over on team track one are gitner done on this overcast and somewhat drizzly morning. I'm sure when coffee break comes round they will all scurry over to Elsies Diner for some hot coffee! 
They will deserve a coffee break, Pat.
Here's a couple of photos of Southern Pacific 9010 Krauss Maffei Locomotive in Niles Canyon, Fremont, CA in 2013. It is not under it's own power, but the Krauss Maffei was controlling SP 5472 SD9 just behind. In the next photo you'll understand why.
Power unit preparing for install. I thought this was a cool photo with the engine dangling in front of the locomotive it belongs too. Last I heard it still was not fully operational, I'm trying find out what's up. May 24, 2021
It's in!
@trumptrain, I would think the guys are working really hard as they are not dressed for a cold overcast wet morning! I sure hope they get more then coffee!
@WesternPacific2217, great photos, sure would be nice to see that rolling threw my area up here in Wa.
FOR TODAY: It's 1955 as Lionel postwar steam locomotive 2065 takes center stage on track number 2 at Patsburg's Commuter Station. In tow is a short passenger train ( not shown ). In my view Postwar Lionel still looks great!!
As I've said before this locomotive was my very first that came with my Lionel set back in 1957. 
@Denny T posted:THE OTHER CONRAIL.
A.T.S.F. work train hauls prisoner chain gang to the rock pile for a day of work. Prison guard does not seem concerned that convict # 6944 just clubbed convict # 4972 to death as work goes on.
Nice rockpile scene Denny. 👍
A little on the gruesome side though . 😨 ( are you having a rough day ? 😖 )

Looks like a 16 cylinder cat, or Volvo engine'... Fascinating post'... very cool'...👍😉

Yes, that's it!!!
@trumptrain, Patrick, great scene! I see a lot of military folks there, I hope they are heading home on leave!
@Denny T, outstanding scene, Nothing like having the bad guys make big rocks into little one! LOL

Ha Ha Dallas Joseph. Since I turned 80 I do not have rough days any more......at least that I can remember.

Denny , " at least that I can remember " ....... I got it....................they ? say though........worry about the past conjures up depression and worrying about the future brings anxiety . 🤔
No rough days any more at 80 by living in the present has got to be a huge plus. 😉
Maybe the situation between 6944 and 4972 isn't what I think it might be and the guard surely has a better understanding of what is going on that what I do.
@Quarter Gauger 48 posted:Looks like a 16 cylinder cat, or Volvo engine'... Fascinating post'... very cool'...👍😉
hi Quarter Gauger 48, The Krauss Maffei has two Maybach MD870 V16 4 stroke diesel engines designed and manufactured by MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH in Germany. The engines send power through an automatic fluid driven transmission and then through drive shafts to power the axles on the trucks. A very complex design that was difficult to maintain. In the photos was the rear engine is being installed and is running.
