a picture a day....

FOR TODAY:  A flashback to March 2020.  A precious commodity train arrives in Patsburg!

Has to to be a lot of fun having your little helper John.

After watching your layout for sometime now I get the impression that you must really have the electrical system well in hand sir.   Nice

@farmerjohnn, your layout is coming to fruition, it’s simply Amazing. Beautiful pictures of a model railroad like no other. Your scenery makes the characters (the trains) really look fantastic. I’m working on my turntable and no pictures yet. Happy Railroading Everyone…

Great photos everyone!

@farmerjohn John what a great scene and I can see that your Granddaughters have and eye for detail just like their Grandpa! Keep them involved!

Thanks Dallas and Larry.  Trains are so much fun when others enjoy them also. It takes me back to my childhood which was so much fun here is a few more pics of my passenger station. Ohio

Really nice scenes, John!  I like a layout to take me back to childhood too!

Thanks Mike and Mark for the comments. When I say I really enjoy the trains also I really mean it . So much fun . Here in our area we have several guys that are so involved  in the hobby.

Scott - Glad you enjoyed the humor!  I have a video somewhere .. perhaps on my I pad?  I'll see if I can find it and share on SWSAT.

FOR TODAY:  "Well Chester it's almost time to call it a day.  Where' should we go to wet our whistles after we tie this old teapot up for he night?" " You know Cranford I was thinking the same dang thing just before you asked.  The wife's at a meeting tonight so I have to fend for supper myself.  How bout we stop on over to Carmichaels Grubb and Pub for a bite and a pint or two?"  Yep that sounds perfect Chester!  Let me climb back up on the engine and notcher out for the roundhouse.  You wait here as I ease the caboose on up so you can hop on.  We'll be eaten some fine food and drinking some good brew tonight!"  As Chester grabs hold of the ladder leading to the cab, Cranford calls out " Be sure to ask our new fireman Biff if he would like to tag along!"  Chester gives an approving smile and a nod as he swings himself upward. .... just another day on the railroad.

John, the Disney "Cars" are a great touch! Reminds us that our railroad modeling is for fun and enjoyment! Great layout, always enjoy your photos! Happy Friday!

Here’s today’s I’m glad to get this back on the layout after working all week on and off  on it the Top chain sprocket broke its the cheap one that comes with this engine I had a extra one that was a lot better and it runs smoothly now.

Lately I see lots of posts for selling items.. Not too much modeling'. .I found these pics when I first started scratch building structures for my 1/24th car collection.  All paper, using Evans Design, Model Builder Software program... I soon switched to 1/48 as the 1/24 was taking up too much real estate'...

These builds go back to 2010'...

Good you are on the right side of the grass Ted..................my problem now is trying to figure out when to tell Judy the time to lime and feed for the green stuff.    ( Judy likes her grass nice and green. )
