The title of this hit song, and it's extremely catchy melody, rhythm and lyrics, popped into my head in relation to our model railroad photos and videos. Specifically, this occurred to me when brousing through my gallery of photos on my smart phone, and seeing a picture of my layout that I particularly liked.

We can have a lot of fun with this.

So, I am now going to to hit you with my best shot, and fire away:

At the moment, this is my best shot because I love the 10 wheeler Lionel TMCC steam locomotive, and the scene with the train station, Arttista figures and other figures that were unpainted that I painted.

Now, it's your turn: hit me with your best shot, fire away, and explain why it is your best shot, at least for the moment.

LOL, Arnold

Another wonderfully interesting thread idea Arnold!   I can't say that this is my "best shot" but it is a favorite shot of my postwar Lionel locomotives and Lionel aircraft beacon capturing  the 3 decades of the postwar era ....  and incorporates the Bollman bridge and Mt. Randolph ( Named after my good friend and fellow forumite Randy Harrison who helped with building my layout. ) as a backdrop.  In addition to the Lionel Trains dimension, this photo captures a realistic postwar flavor of the co-existence of both steam and diesel locomotives, armed forces personnel on the platform waiting for a train to perhaps go home or travel to another military assignment, and milk cans waiting to be picked up by a milk train.  IMG_4653

Good one Rick. Videos definitely qualify as best shots.

Here is a video of mine that I made today that is my best shot at the moment:

So, now it your turn to post a photo or video, and sing the chorus with me: Hit me with you best shot, why don't you hit me with your best shot, hit me with your best shot, fire a-wa-ay!

LOL, Arnold

E4EEB5A0-E1F4-479C-840F-12CC5D7B107DHere is my best shot of the first locomotive that I rewheeled.  Circa 1927, Lionel 251E that I recently rewired and installed new wheels, with matching cars that are rubber stamped New York Central Lines.  I actually got the wheels on correctly and it does not wobble down the track!  LOL  This is previously posted in another section of the forum.  😎

Whoa.  Is that a sandlot and a stadium on your layout!?

@PRRronbh - nice shot!  any recollection of who makes that white barn and where you may have gotten it?

Hi Brad,  Off hand cannot recall the maker.  But will try to find out next time I am at the store.  This layout is the one that the O-Gauge specialist and I rebuilt around 2005.  But this barn was added just a few years ago.  As I recall there was the white one and a red one. And they were packaged in large clear plastic "bubble" packages.  

It will be probably a week or two before I get back to the shop.
