Trumptrain, The picture above, the B&O lighted railroad bridge is beautiful. I also liked your comments, you work a lot of hours.....Thank You. I pre-sume your a musician, probably play the trumpet, and when I was in high school, back in the early 60’s, I played 3Rd Horn. I should have auditioned for Lawrence Welk. A little humor. Either way, although there are many Wonderful Layouts, they come from individuals of all ages, and many different walks in Life. This amazing Hobby, brings us all together. Model Railroading, or love of trains....

Took these on Christmas day (only Amtrak was running; the grain train in the second shot was tied down on the main for the day), as it might be the only trains in the snow shots I can get this winter:

Milk.  It does a body good!

Playing with a 400E blue comet on the steps of the town depot doesn't hurt either! 

Here's 3 for Wednesday.  " R -16 Decked out for the holidays!"  " J Cab Nocturnal", " Railroad workers "

                   Patrick, think I caught the same train coming thru town last night...

Which company made the smoke units for those toys? They would set off every smoke detector in a mansion.

You might consider having a micro drone on your layout. Those future visitors, who will likely be able to travel at the speed of light or close to it, are not going to want to sit in one place on your layout for very long!

Outstanding weathering!

Started ballasting my yard.  I have the two classification tracks, arrival track, and departure tracks done.  I painted and weathered the Lionel yard lights and the coaling tower.  I took out 13 Atlas switch machines and put Caboose Industry ground throws on the turnouts I could reach.  The 3 I can't are controlled by SC-2.  I also weathered my first car; the CNW box car in the photos.  It is cool to actually start doing some detailing.  I still have some track to put down and wiring to do, but I'm totally sick of doing that for now.  

          nice, a better picture...

         Bill, very nice engine !!   like it !    can you post some more pictures of it, thanks...
