I've been busy designing cars with Lionel.  This Ore Car 6-pack is coming later this year as you can see HERE.

I like that charles chips van.When I was a kid I eat many chips and cookies.I will always remember those tin cans of theirs.

I haven't posted any photographs on this topic for a while.  I don't know why.  Great photographs everyone!  Here is the almost brand new PS2 Premier Western Maryland Shay #6 I bought from a Forum friend recently.  I gave up some fine engines to pay for it, but it was certainly worth it.

Unloading a generator at a new factory last summer. Have a great weekend 

I've had these Sunset/3rd Rail Santa Fe FT's for years and never got to run them. I took them over to a friends recently and he was nice enough to give me some track time. They ran perfectly right out of the box. I still can't figure what they were doing in South Omaha.

Today I'm enjoying Chessie & AMTRAK

MTH Erie Mining RS-11 hauling supplies to the mines.

You shouda taken that left turn at Albuquerque   

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

Picked up one of these Lionel TMCC PRR Inspection Vehicle.  Cute little novelty.  It's smaller and more scale sized than I was expecting, quite nice looking.  Very underpowered though, or it's a lemon 🍋. It runs fine, but barely makes the grades. 

I took a quick video of it: https://youtu.be/KzUud_L0jA4

Historic station in Montpelier VA

I'm working on a couple of paint projects that also include putting interiors and the "little people" in 15" LIONEL passenger cars that didn't have them originally.

So, here is a Santa Fe dome observation car, 6-19113 "Super Chief", with a donor vista dome interior from a UP offset dome car, 6-15372 that I test fit for concept validation--in other words, the passenger cars use the same extrusion so what works in one will more than likely work in any of them, provided they have the requisite opening in the ceiling:

And the same thing worked when installing lower level and upper level interiors in a TCA full dome:

If you look at my posts on this thread with any regularity, you know I have been building a model of the town of Port Royal PA over the past nine months or so. It's still not finished, but with the streets finally getting weathered and the utility poles going in, it's starting to get a finished look. So while it's still not done yet, here are a bunch of photos I snapped off last night with my cell phone, some in black and white.

 

Neal.....your work is unbelievable.......but I believe because I've been fortunate enough to see it!

Wow!
