Great photos everyone and happy Saturday morning! I hope everyone has a great day!

You do the same Mike thanks

Wow @trumpettrain , Patrick that is really a wowonderful scene, your level of detail is just great.  I spend several minutes just admiring the detail in the background, the pile of tires for example, just really well done.  Thank you for posting.

Lee...well what can be said about your observation...seems like there is a place in St. Louis requiring a visit should I ever get there!! 

Best wishes everyone

Here’s today’s pic. Believe it or not this is a bar and grill on Manchester rd in St. Louis. I took this pic while delivering in this area.

Lee:

When I first saw the photo, I assumed it was a model train shop. We should suggest to Alan Arnold that we all gather there of an OGR Forum convocation.

Good idea I’ll get a better pick of the whole building I think quite a few people could fit in there when I first seen it I also thought it was a hobby shop.

Patrick, you are the master scenery guy...I hope the forklift driver has his 3 year OSHA certification card with him

Don. I read the reviews on line and it’s says it’s a really good place to eat. Look them up.

Here’s today’s pic. I wish I would have addressed that Mold Mark on the back of Trucker Joe.

Paul - I really appreciate your kind words!  Thank you.  Yes Lenny, the forklift driver, is a true professional and always keeps his OSHA and other local certifications current.

Lee - had you not mentioned the "Mold Mark" I wouldn't have noticed.  To me it looked like part of the fabric of the Trucker Joe's shirt ... as if it were a design embroidered into the shirt.  GREAT PHOTO btw!!!!!

For today:   A study in contrast .... "Enjoy the big city juxtaposed with the quiet seclusion of a cabin in the woods."  so reads the advertising of  The Fallen Timber Bed and Breakfast in Patsburg owned and run by Slim and Buzzie.

Patrick very convincing nice pic and I have never seen fresh cut timber on a layout before you maybe the first

This is a busy evening on the Great Northeastern Railway. A streamlined passenger train glides by on track number 1 as a freight train passes on the High Line with the city of Christopolis and the harbor in the background. Just over the harbor, the head lamp of another passenger train can be seen on its way out of Union Station, Christopolis.

Randy...really liked your modeling of the waterfront scene...would you consider posting some additional pictures of your layout?  Thanks

Coal drag going up the canyon

Lee, I had the same problem with his brother. I had him take off his shirt, and sand it down!🤓

Great shots everyone!

Great photos everyone! Lee Patrick is correct, if I were you I might even think about putting a UP LOGO on the back! LOL

Patrick, I would like to say I would love to got the the Bed and Breakfast in the woods, but I wake up there every morning and it seams like a lot of work! LOL

Great, harbor scene and I love your little city area! Very cool!

Mark, sure is nice to see your coal train working its way up hill! Sure is a heavy load with 3 engines!

Thank you, Mike!!  I'm glad you like it!

Mark - what a great looking scene!!  Two engines on the point and one pushing on the rear ... WOW!!!  I really like you backdrop too   It really brings a deep flavor of rugged mountain railroading.  Is this a Western Maryland coal train?
