Eliot, you always put a lot of care into your photos - lighting, composition, exposure.  Two thumbs up.  And I like your Socony Vacuum subsidiary - Munozgas.

One from a past layout: Dallas, PA. 1982-1989.  Station still inservice on current home layout.  All trains except Chicago & Alton also still in service. Union Pacific and Blue Comet have been upgraded to TMCC.  Hogate & Reynolds C&NW bi-level coach was just sold at York in April.

Bill......I've seen that picture before....a Greenberg book perhaps?

My picture for today is also from the past. In the late 1980's on the Dallas, PA layout. A 675 steams along.

Peter: On the previous photo of the station area, a similar one was in a Greenberg Book, taken by their photographer. This is one I took while the lights and backdrop were available.

Just up the street from the Twin Bridges...(here's a reference shot again)...

...is this small-town neighborhood favorite spot...

New to me K-line LIRR set.

Two color variations of American Flyer's Dixie Queen

Here is a shot of my old layout. I didn't transition to O gauge until after my second son was born, and then it was a slow process. Here, I was still trying to combine HO and O in the same space. I didn't even remember adding the Christmas buildings to it.

The Munoz Lines

Beautiful, Eliot, every bit of it, and I enjoyed being reminded of the Rose poster.

Thanks, Frank. We miss you . . . 

Twin Bridges neighborhood...closer view...

And P.S. :  Thank you, Eliot, for posting what you did, just above. It is much appreciated. Much appreciated.

I really enjoy seeing your American Flyer and Prewar trains here in the forum. Thank you for posting, it's always a treat!

Nice, I've always liked that BNSF paint scheme. I wonder if that's a Illinois Terminal covered hopper behind that flat car. Also, who is that against the wall back there, she looks pretty good, too. 

I took these along the Columia River gorge yesterday.

That would be Katey Sagal as Gemma Teller from "Sons of Anarchy"

Nice! Good taste in trains and women!

Yes, Y6B getting ready for a possible Journey?

That certainly is an interesting and judicious use of the available space, something anybody in our hobby or not would find exciting and most enjoyable to experience. Putting a tall cityscape right up close to the front edge of the layout is a very creative approach and totally successful. Congratulations! Really, really clever.

I also think it looks great! I've got a few hours waiting on my other train .. I think I'll take a walk and check out downtown! Hey, I see a brewery! 

Since today is his 14th birthday: My youngest, Logan, helping set up the Christmas tree train several years ago.

For today, Monday June 5, another from the past in Dallas, PA. 

"You know you are getting old when..." you see a train in an old photo that you do not remember having. For me, it is the yellow UP ALCOs. Don't remember having them or where they went.  Hmm....you don't think they might be in some old forgotten box in the crawl space, do you?
