It's time for WEEKEND PHOTO FUN!!
We had our open house last weekend at the Roanoke Valley Model Railroad Club;
What are the odds when you cut a hole in the wall for a tunnel that you would find a stud?
How about 3 studs?
Let's see your pictures.

I just got back to the Train Room from Colasanti’s Market in Highland, Michigan. This is a fun store for model train buffs because they have a G-Scale ceiling layout. Check it out.
The locomotive is passing over the deli.

great videos Scott !!
Switching is part of the chores on my layout. Great photos this week---thanks everyone for sharing.
Happy Weekend.
It is late 1949 and a pair of Pennsy Sharks are getting ready to pull out with a coal drag. While all Sharks were delivered with the 5-stripe passenger engine paint scheme, they were bought for freight service. By the late '50s most were repainted with the single stripe of a freight engine.
These are Lionel Century Club II Sharks.
Ron that's a very nice scene and thanks for that info on the stripes
Move over Canadian Pacific Christmas Train.......here comes the Conrail Christmas Train pulled by the Lionel Conrail Legacy F7s........

I've been following your work for years and am never let down, fantastic quality
This is either a continuation of or a correction to my post above on PRR freight Sharks. I said in that post that all Pennsy Sharks were delivered with the 5-stripe passenger paint scheme, which is true. However, I gave the impression that all Sharks were freight Sharks which is wrong. The Pennsy did receive nine ABA sets of BP20 Passenger Sharks, which were considerably longer than the freight Sharks. Below are some photos for comparison. The short engine is Lionel's version of the freight Shark, the long engine is Weaver's version of the passenger Shark.
My Weaver BP20 AB consist has been upgraded with ERR and run great.

Thanks Lee,
I have two layouts in my basement. The newer one with the trestle is 10'-by-5', completed in 2019. These pictures are on the older one, 12'-by-8', completed in 2004.

Great pics, everyone!
A few more vignettes around the layout.....

The Train Masters of Babylon had an open house today and I made the drive to go and check it out. One of, if not the best, layouts I have ever seen.
Great photos from everyone again this week. Here's some from around our tree.
The Christmas O gauge layout set up for a short time in the town hall building at the Vicksburg Historical Society in Vicksburg, Michigan. The railroads in the area were the Grand Rapids & Indiana to the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Grand Trunk Western railroad.

OK, you all know I stole it....from facebook of course. But thought it was very appropriate for this time of year. Can any of you relate???

Johan, I like the electric meter and panel and the Anchor Steam sign.
SIRT, another load of sheetrock for the local lumber yard?
Here is a video of the Grand Trunk Western custom painted LIONEL/MPC GP20 diesel engine loco as a GP38-2 diesel loco and Premier GTW ALCo S-2 diesel switcher pulling a freight train on one track and a Railking Pennsylvania steam locomotive pulling a passenger train on the other track.

As always, thanks Joe for your interest. No, it will soon be headed for another distant destination.
Well there's this...
One of these things is not like the other...

Great stuff this weekend. I wish I felt better but my cold started kicking me more Friday evening after I thought it was exiting. I spent this entire weekend resting and catching sleep. Really messed up my weekend plans to head to the train store. Last thing I'd want to do would be get them sick. I'll be joining in this coming weekend with something.
