FrankM. Very nice hear from You Sir. Thank you so much, but it´s a only phone pic . I can tell, your fabulous work is always my huge inspiration

Well, Johan, if you are going to suggest we are experiencing a mutual-admiration-society, then, I'm just going to have to co-operate and agree that it is nice we find something we like in each other's work. It's all great fun, both the crafting of layout scenes and receiving the approval. And I much enjoy seeing the work of so many other fellow modelers, too, through this forum and OGR magazine,
Add to that getting "Likes" from other fellow-posters on this forum, and the whole experience of posting and attending these pages continues to be a real pleasure.
Thank you, again, for your being so generous about my little scenes.

P.S. And in the spirit of Front End Friday sharing, I wonder if this locomotive in this scene on my layout is a model of the one seen in the posting, just above, shown to us by STEAMER (?)

Great collection, Randy. Pennsy is one of my favorite roads, and I love their steamers... but there is something incredibly appealing about those box cabs. Thanks for sharing.
