@leapinlarry, welcome back! I was beginning to wonder why you weren't posting.

Great scenes Paul. 

I'm still in awe with those figures you have . If you can't tell me where you get them......then I am going to have to make a visit to your train when no one is around.

Always fun seeing  '  your action figures  '  sir.

Dallas, thanks for your response...the forklift guy and the fellow taking a sip of Sasparella are Arttista...the guy in the yellow hat and the RR guy are Preiser 1/43.  Ted has the best figures I've seen here.  I've tried to hand-paint figures without much success....!

The "Chief" is ready for boarding at the North Main Street station...

FOR TODAY:  Engine 75 is stopped at the plug to take on water.  Fireman Bernie Evans and brakeman Feets Stover are on the tender's deck.  Once the spout is inserted in the cistern, Feets will place one of his size 14 shoes firmly on the spout to keep it in place as water pours in the cistern.  Meanwhile engineer Chubs Bromley sits in the fireman's seat and reminices about his days as a fireman as he says under his breath " Comin over here and sitting in this seat always reminds me of how grateful I am not to have to shovel coal and stand back there on the tender deck in all kinds of weather. "  ... just another day on the railroad!\
