Freight cars as seen in Sitka’s photo. Mine are loaded with treats better than ice cream!

From Sitka and pennsyfan...box cars in a freight train...these are the so called "scale" cars by Marx ( S scale but O gauge).  These were developed 1939-1940 and offered first time in 1941.  While the war did not curtail much for the 1941 season, scarcity of supplies affected the 1942 season and although some retailers got these trains in 1942 the large companies did not as production quantity was limited.  They did re-emerge after the war and the peak of production appears to be 1948.  They lasted until about 1957.

@Don McErlean that 657 has a bad order notice (brake whee and shaft); and should be set out. 🥹

@pennsyfan - Re bad order...copy thanks for the warning!    Don

Not sure if we are working Corvettes or tin plate trains or something else, so I took a guess and came up with Corvettes.

Here is a '57 and a '63 that stopped by the station diner for morning coffee this morning.

Here is a '98 that sits in my garage...

Thanks Mark.         Not mowing ,nothing to mow with.

     I tested the coil / magneto on the RER Snapper's  12.5 hp OHV Briggs.    Had to go find a new one and ended up with plugs and new air filter also. 

Today I adjusted the valves and tightened and cleaned wire connectors .   She started up and ran well for a 2009 production machine .........BUT not as well as my MTH and Lionel locos.

   I've walked past the layout a few times thinking how lonely it looked. 😭

Great shot Randy, for a moment i thought that it was 1:1 scale. I had to look twice to see the middle rail.

Definitely a great shot Randy.

I think it's interesting that the white - ish backround works really well with the bright images of the scenery and train. 

( never had a backround for my layout.......after seeing this shot I might have to gather up some cardboard and matte white and really pale matte cobalt blue and have at it. )

From Randy Harrison... another Pennsy steamer ... 0-6-0 tank switcher by Lionel.

Best wishes everyone.

Nice Don! I love that little tank engine.
