a picture a day....

May I ask, is that you, Brian?

          I wish I was there, but no, that is not me.....

Here is one for today.  " Fire truck muster "

Well that one, Brian, sure is an OOPS!!

If you build it (a baseball field), they (people) will come (by passenger train)!

Does it seem CSX has been doing this trick a lot.    You have to believe in the physics of gravity, time and space , and the RR principle of keeping the trains on the track.

Is the body of the depicted Boeing-Jet in realistic proportions  or is it scrap  from the Everett assembly plant?

I believe that's the old K-line two pack with a not to scale 707.  I always liked that two pack and now they're hard to find and expensive when you do.  I've thought about making my own.

Looks real. Great job modeling if it's not.

Brian,

I "liked" this photo, but I wish I could "like" it several more times.  I think this is a great shot.  I wish I could have witnessed the action in person.    This is an awesome photograph as it tells a story and requires you to fill in some blanks as to what was happening before and after the shot was memorialized in time.  

Where was this taken?  Is this a spur?  It looks like the CN has several cars behind it to make me think this is a mainline, but the track does not look like mainline trackage.  

Was the CSX loco crossing over to the line in front of the CN or was it traveling the other direction and getting out of the way of the CN.  

Again, great photo.

Thanks

Patrick, it looks like the Smith Bros. took delivery of every Tucker except the one Preston drives.

Coach - Actually Tucker automobile production and sales are booming in 1950s Patsburg!  In my imaginative make believe world Preston Tucker's great ideas live and have expanded into a full blown automotive empire

Patrick,

Great scene.  Love the stake truck.  I bought two of them from diecast direct.  I wish we could get more stake trucks for o scale.  Even these were too much money.  

Merry Christmas one and all!!!
