a picture a day....

Ron.

The buildings on both ends of my little town street are woodland scenics. I bought them from Menards when the handled them several years ago. The big thing with them I had to put my own lights in them. I've added lights to all the buildings and put floors in them and even separate rooms for lighting effects. A lot of fun but a lot of time also.The lights make a town and really bring a layout to life. Thanks for asking. Farmerjohn.

FOR TODAY:  The industrial area of town on Thursday morning.

Not my photo of course but I'd love to recreate this someday in O scale.

This is the covered bridge across the Doe River just outside of Hampton, TN, probably taken in the fall of 1940.

Yesterday, at Evaline, WA:

FOR TODAY:  Friday morning play time!  

Hey Patrick,

Great photo!

Maybe you could record yourself playing "Struttin with some Barbecue" and add it to a video which strolls around all of your great little suburban scenes!  That would be really cool.

Hauling some expensive lumber through Bozeman, MT...worth its weight in gold today...

FOR TODAY:  There's that kid Chucky on his bicycle again hanging out at his favorite place ... the railroad tracks.   He's checking out the Ma & Pa milk train on the far track.  

Chucky wants to know what is in that big crate!

Good point, Paul!!  It reminds me of my red bicycle growing up.  It did not have a headlight or one of those flat trays over the rear fender to carry things on however.  Gee, maybe it doesn't remind me of mine so much!    At least they both were red!

I think the name on the crate reads " Pandora ".  LOL!

Seen that also! We were there 2 weeks ago!

Caught a light power move at Napavine:

And this train comes through every day sometimes with nothing but SD40-2s on point and I decided to try make this look more like a shot from several years ago:

While we're on the Bozeman theme, Mike, did u c this one when you were there??
