Night at the underpass

Another picture  for the day

Farmerjohn, Fantastic, and the scenes look so real. Great work. Thanks for posting the upper and lower areas as it brings the passenger station into perspective. A fun to view focal scene. Great detail work. Now, my station scene. Happy Railroading 

Lee (p51) I followed your progress on your trench engine, it needs to be broke in, so, it seems the center cab is your stand-by locomotive, for now?

And, those chevron arrow targets from the MILW are not hard for me to spot. The ICRR then ICG and now the CN still use a solid red arrow target on their mainline switch stands.

Thank you for the link to the museum, I enjoyed checking out the site, I added it to my list of favorites.

The Baldwin is pretty well broken in now, which happened not long after it appeared in the review in OGR earlier this year.

The Whitcomb prerty much only exists as I wanted a Army locomotive that I could switch with at each end. My ten wheelers are no good for switching except for the tender ends as the front couplers swing too wide on curves other than the main line.

Once Bachmann made the class ten trench engine, I then had EXACTLY what I'd wanted all along, a short military steam switcher.

If this had come out first, the Whitcomb wouldn't be on a shelf under the layout at all as I'd never have bought one.

I love your Union Pacific station! Where did you get the concrete/stone railing around the upper level? It is a great way to finish off an elevated urban street!

Bill T. Love those Lionel FA’s 

Larry. Thanks for the complement always liked those Corvairs 

Lee. Great looking vintage pics 

thanks guys for all your likes and complements  

Randy. I bought the railing at York from the guys that make the bridges and buildings I think the name is Cresent. I painted the railings with a stone paint. Here is a picture of a bridge I got from them .

For Today August 13:  " Meeting the train at first crack of daylight."

Yep, the PW Alcos are fun to run. The 210 is a set I received for Christmas many decades ago. The 211 is a new acquisition, seems like I have been on a Postwar kick this past month. Fun to run and don't cost an arm & leg to acquire.
