Gandydancer1950, Thank you for your approval and for the reply.

One day, a certain type of place is inspiration for me to model. Then, different things inspire me so I model something else. There is only so much real estate available, so I change things, sometimes quite a bit, like this place. Here's a closer look at the exact same piece of a few square inches...

...changed...

Fun, right?

My contribution for July 15, 2017.....

NS Harrisburg line, MP-32.  NS 38G yesterday afternoon at the "Pink Moose Cafe," Royersford, Pa.  On a clear day, the tables are at the fence, about 15 feet from the eastbound tracks.   This Dash-9 going 40mph, it's a nice place to eat and watch your table shake as these machines fly by.  

I left from this Royersford station for my Army induction, train fare courtesy of Uncle Sam, among the very last of the draftees.    Got my Selective Service letter from Coatesville two weeks after my 18th birthday, and shortly after the U.S. went all-voluntary.    Passenger service here has since been discontinued, but it was convenient.  There's been talk about reviving it, but I doubt that will happen.  

A couple of Pictures I took of my Big boy from Earlier this morning

This is the repaired Atlas reefer that is now fully usable. The floor board replacement was a complete success and I even have extra floor boards should I ever discover another car with a similar zinc pest issue.
