WOW, Jackie, that's a great scene!
If you removed the upper background and put it in BW, you could fool someone into thinking that's a real location.
Trumptrain. Wow. Such great scenes . It all about the heroes of our Nation so let us never forget. Thanks for those scenes its what we need.
OK jackiejr - streets are what? what kind of people - I have never seen anything close, and the cars are really hard to find as well - who is the manufacturer? Nice job of modeling a street scene.
THX - Jeff
Thanks MikeG and Farmerjohn!
MikeG ... your words are extremely encouraging!
If only there were many many many more who felt as you do, I would probably muster the mojo to begin writing that book with photos. It would be a fun project, I assure you!
For today: Its Tuesday morning down at the team track ... " After a long Memorial Day weekend it's time to get back to business as usual with a little 'Fresh Up with 7 Up'." Forman Dave, wearing hard hat, wonders how long it will take to load this trailer as he simultaneously stairs at the groundhogs roaming the junk pile in the foreground. Andy gives truck driver a hand signal to stop. Mack, dragging the pallet, gets ready to open the boxcar door. Another day another dollar!

Pat, that’s another great working railroad photograph. So there is grass in the junk yard for the ground hogs. The tractor driver had his work cut out for him not to scrape the bottom of the trailer on the track!
Thank's guys for the nice comments on the "street scene". I had placed my camera on the street, could not really see the view finder, set the timer on, and got this view of the layout that would not be seen walking around the layout. Simple idea; opens up all kinds of possible photos from a different perspective. Jeff the street/sidewalk is a rubber sheet material you can cut to fit. Bought some many years ago. Do not remember the manufacturer; do not believe they are still in business. Figures are Arttista. Vehicles; just shopped around on the net. Here is another obscured view I took while playing in the train room.

Setting the camera on the layout is a good idea, Jackie. You got a good eye level view and a stable base
Pat:
I am with Mike G, write the book! I would buy one and recommend it to all of my model train junky friends.
Here’s a comparison from the family album.

Patrick, he looks a little to friendly to be a yard supervisor! LOL I am guessing he also has some binoculars to see what the girls are doing over at Bang! Bing!
I see you have a Military train being put together in the background! It all looks great!

As Mike pointed out, you have a MB/GPW on one flat at what looks like a M4A3 "easy eight" 76MM-gunned Sherman on flatcars.
Great shot as always, and I love how most of your photos really tell a story!
Mike, Ted is a very nice guy' and as a former Military man, he is keeping a close on that US Army consist'.... If it isn't put together correctly, you'll see just how nice a guy he really is'....👺

I could see how things could change in a heart beat! LOL
For today: " Lots of heavy lifting today at the team track. Large gears have been shipped via boxcar. A rubber tire loader has been brought in to do the heavy lifting in getting the gears transferred to the flatbed truck. " 
Joe and Moe help guide the loader operator lower his bucket. 
The load has been transferred to the truck.
