RED BRICK BUILDING

Moonson (Frank), your layout is delightfully down and dirty, just like most real trains, rights of way and things near them.

JackieJr, love that Lionel PW black AT&SF NW2 lurking in your photo. I have 4 of them, and this one is the bellringing 6220:

I see coal

Hopper:

I see Light Fixtures

How about lights galore

Boxcars:

Crane:

Seeing the Camelback in the foreground made me think of its distinctive Wootten firebox. So here's another firebox of that type, although it's not quite completed yet.

Long pipes

Speaking of long pipes
