Weekend Photo Fun 1-29-2016-??

          Pork -n- Beans, steam era #1089......................

Just finished a River leaf Irish tavern 

Thanks Scott for starting this every week. We all look forward to this thread each week. I was blessed to have of the LCCA Switching Tracks Boxcar visit my layout last year....it was Boxcar #7. Recently I got a phone call from Tim at LCCA telling me that I had won the drawing for the #7 Boxcar and that they would be sending it to me.

Below are several photos of this Boxcar along with the manifest of where the Boxcar had visited. I think that this is a very interesting program and enjoyed to see where this little Boxcar had been. I would encourage all of you to join the LCCA Club and volunteer for this program.

If you right click on a picture and then click "open in new window". you will get a full scene shot that will give a lot more detail. Hope you enjoy and I appreciate you taking your time to look.

here is my contribution for this cloudy Friday here in Florida.

Happy weekend everyone!

New engines on new scenery.

Hmmm.....sneaky Steven.  So that's what you were running downstairs while I was upstairs cleaning up!

Ok, here's a few of my own taken on the nearly (but still not quite yet) completed section 7C.

Penn Central daze....

A 2015 Christmas Layout memory

I wanted to set up a nostalgic scene on the layout for my and my family's enjoyment.  These cardboard houses were bought by our Mom and Dad back in the late forties or early fifties for the Christmas layout that Dad built each year.  The church was also from Mom and Dad.  Why the horses and cowboys????  Well, I remember that I used to randomly place a few of my horses and cowboys on the layout each Christmas as a little kid - Dad didn't do scenery.

I'm going to straighten and filter that second picture, it's really good!

Kids. A lively, joyful presence on any layout...

Maybe so, Frank, but what's up with them two cops?

Well, in my imagination, Pete, the guy on the platform has just come out from the small business to see what's going on in the lot they let the kids play in. However, that guy with the trench coat is a local pedestrian who has just happened by and like most adults is attracted to a ballgame conducted by kids. (At least, I hope that is his intention.) He's probably not a "narc." This is a good neighborhood. But cops? I'd never have thought of that. Are you in law enforcement? So, that's good - I like my little vignettes to be wide-open to personal interpretations and experiences. Yup.

Have a great weekend!

You have to remember Franks layout scenes are bit and pieces of his life. That's the security his parents hired to insure he played nice with the other kids and to keep him out of trouble.    love the photos Frank. ☺

At work, so I'm limited....how about a collage of one of my favorite livery's...

Peter

EP-5 one of my favorite engine.

thank you for sharing!

This morning I was running some conventional for a change. Had 3 Williams Geeps, two powered, middle one dummy, hauling a long freight.  

Big steam leading freight through the yard

I am setting up a carpet central train layout in my living room.

A real treasure, Walt......I had some of those as a child, but they did not survive.

Roger,

Congratulations!  I had car #5 last February, and it was fin to participate.  I am hoping they publish all the car lists, so everyone can see where their car, and all the cars traveled.  I hope they do it again!

 Oh, here is my contribution.  My new to me PWC Texas Special along with the Santa Toymaker Express.

Handsome and just plain cool, RogerW. And I esp. like the detail of the paved driveways - "Moondog Streets" sections?

FrankM.

Hello Frank, Thanks for the comment. The asphalt "street" is a product that I brought about 10 years ago. I don't remember the name for it. It's used under the trackbed and you can sprinkle ballast on it and the ballast would stick to it. You didn't have to use any water or glue to hold the ballast.......Roger

It would have taken a squad  of lurkers. And even they could not have kept up.

Yes,The maroon stripes I added to the Pride Lines engine are vinyl car pin striping tape.It never looked right to me with just a solid orange stripe around the engine.

The bridge itself is a kitbash of two Plasticville signal bridges spliced together. As for the source of the heads, you'd have to ask my dad.

I'll probably be posting pictures throughout the weekend, as my dad's friend Mitch is here and he brought lots of trains with him... CNJ equipment for most part.
