Here is a photo of my best friend Mitch offering a salute to America's GREAT STANDARD RAILROAD during a visit to my home over the holidays a few weeks ago...

Beautiful pictures and trains, Peter, which i guess is from a train club you belong to.
What really struck me is the attractive pleated green skirt to hide what is beneath the tables and the wood holding the skirt in place. I did my usual Rube Goldberg approach (short cut) many years ago when I bought a lot of green fabric and used thumb tacks to hold it in place.
You have inspired me to improve the skirt around my layout which will greatly improve its overall appearance. Thanks.

We are visiting the Valley of the Sun area for a few months to get away from all of the cold weather. Suppose to be 75 here today, far cry from what it is to be in Missouri. So I brought a few projects with me that I have been putting off. These photos show me populating my Texas Special passenger cars. Hope you enjoy them.
I've had this MTH Santa Fe aluminum passenger car set from the mid 90s for several years. The observation car came with a blank, generic, rear door. I discovered Lionel had a "Super Chief" drumhead rear door available. Last week I placed an order for said door and it arrived yesterday. Now the rear of the 6 car set has it's proper name.
Picked up one of Lionel's new Santa Fe SD40s! Love it! Here she is helping Lionel's mighty #6431 pull a mixed freight:

Arnold.......thank you for the kind words.....as you can see, we use the "simple" thumb tack approach for the inside of the modules.
Will I meet you in person at TrainStock tomorrow?

Happy Friday Everyone!
Still working on putting up the new layout, so no new shots. Should have something up by the end of the month.
Here's some old ones -
NS ES44DC 7658 is leading 201 through Christiansburg, VA
Dirty SD70ACU 7267 (ex UP SD90MAC 8039/UP 3526) leads a southbound grain train on the CNO&TP Third District in Chattanooga, TN
NS ES44DC 7698 is leading an MOW train through Arcadia, VA
An Amtrak Keystone service train bound for Harrisburg passes a local NJT heading into NY at Elizabeth, NJ
NS Dash-9 9037 leads 52Z through Kumis on the ex Virginian mainline
Here are some shots and a video from our setup at last weekend's World's Greatest Hobby on Tour show in Monroeville, PA. The video, while a little long, features DOC's complete American Freedom Train and has a lot of "ride-behind" video from my homemade camera car.
Zombies!!!!!
Guardians of the Galaxy!
We were also proud to be a small part of a Make-A-Wish kid's special day, which was made possible by Lionel, Al Kolis and the LCCA:
And the video:

Great improvement!
