Usually, I take pictures of my layout or the modular layout.....this picture of me was taken by a friend when I decided to take a short "exercise break" while working on the layout.....

Have a great weekend, my friends.....

Just finished an upgrade on this 3rd rail NYC ESE. Love the super chuffer driver work lights on / off option 

So Peter you're training for your next career, you can Dr. P instead of Dr. J!

Sirt, nice collaboration with Johan and Winchester.  Love the LI Potatoes sign inside the car.

Alex those upgrades a pretty cool.

Running out of not-yet-used ones so thank goodness it's only 11 days until Christmas!

A bit of a broader view from almost the same angle:

Great photos and videos guys!!  Here is my fun for this weekend.

Interesting trestle and bridge just west of us on NC 74

Happy Friday! 

726 Berkshire leading set 2145WS from 1948 


Just back from the L&L shops, freshly restored 6250 Seaboard NW-2 leads a work train past a field of cows.


Found some time to do a little work on the layout this week - Changed up the track on the inside loop so it wouldn't follow the outside loop for the entire run. Also decluttered the town scene a bit. It was bugging me lol! 


Ex N&W SD40-2 6119 is in familiar territory as it works a snowy Radford yard.


NS Dash-9 9916 leads 194 through Narrows, VA on the western end of the Christiansburg District.


Pickens B40-8 5960 (ex CR 5086) is working hard as it leads a long freight through the outskirts of Anderson, SC in the pouring rain. 


NS AC44C6M 4019 (ex NS D9-40C 8811) leads a westbound coal drag through East Conemaugh, PA.


N&W 611 prepares to enter Montgomery tunnel during one of her last excursions on the Christiansburg District.

I like to put together Postwar Sets. Not as easy as just buying one all together but it's fun and can often come out ahead price-wise.

Here's the Lionel 1611 Alaska Set from 1959. All pieces in great shape. Even though not part of the set will likely add a 6464 box car.

REALLY like the evocative nature of this shot! Well done Scott (or whomever) on the scene itself and the photography!

 I do the same exact thing Sometimes I think it would be easier to just get the whole set, but where's the fun in that

Mike, if you have not already done so, you might want to connect with Leroof on the Forum, also from Maine. Leroof and his wife, Susan, who came to the Forum luncheon in White Plains, NY this past Sunday, are lovely people. Arnold

Happy Weekend To Everyone.

Great pictures. I'm the same as far as piecing sets together. The fun is in the hunt! Currently trying to finish this one. Need the State of Main and the wheel car.
