New on the property: Amtrak Lion Chief FT. Poses here after its first run, with a more seasoned Legacy unit. The Lion Chief engineer clearly needs more work with the new control system, as can be seen over on Weekend at the Movies.

Love the Chas. Freihofer Baking Co. building. Can't get enough of their chocolate chips and Corn Toasties when we are upstate.

Here's a nice photo from an old friend of mine who is not 'into trains' particularly but sent this to me recently. Don't know where it was taken (Rockies in the background?) but it's a favorite of mine. He enjoys working an image to suit him. Click on it to enlarge so you can appreciate the surface textures and subtle color shifts.

A few weeks ago, I posted some images of a highway bridge I was building which carried Pennsylvania state route 35 over the Pennsy at Mifflin PA, circa 1966. I had to repaint the backdrop in this area as I ended up constructing the bridge about 6 inches to the left of where I had originally anticipated it would be placed. (The backdrop was painted over 10 years ago!).
So here are a few shots showing the bridge as it looks now with the revised backdrop. Though there is a bit of work to be done on the superstructure, in this view, it's pretty much finished aside from placement of the railings. They are a precise copy of a type of railing used by the PA Department of highways between around 1963-68 and the stanchions were built by my son Steven using a 3D printer. To avoid damaging them, they won't be installed until all of the scenery around the bridge is completed.

Great eye candy so far. Sneaking this in before I have to get off the computer again, the fun of being a parent.

C.Sam, that looks like a Frisco number plate on the front. Someone on the forum ought to know where Frisco 1351 resides.

I just love your pics and videos every week! I love your track level shots and videos, the realistic snow scenes and what you do with color and lighting.
Keep up the great work!

It's been a busy week in Plasticville.
Transferring freight from my Valley Railway, across the aisle, to his Sassafras Creek Railroad.
No post is complete without a bit of Chessie.
Love it!

Made a lot of progress on that back corner last weekend! Nice to take some pics & have actual scenery
Started working on the road into town & the passenger platform area as well. This week, I plan to get the rest of the hillside finished along the back & do some ballasting
Early postwar looks very realistic if placed in the right setting -
NS ES44DC 7544 leads 213 westbound through Wernersville, PA on the Reading line
The Conrail heritage unit sits outside the engine shop in Bluefield yard
NS SD70M 2588 (1 of only 10 non flared radiator SD70Ms on NS) leads an eastbound manifest through Shawsville, VA on the Christiansburg District
NS 188 heads eastbound at Coopers, WV with Dash-9 9417 leading & the Interstate heritage unit trailing
N&W 611 heads northbound through Jamestown, NC on the Piedmont Mainline
A shot you can no longer get now - NS 12G ducks under the not long for this world PRR signal bridge at CP PORT w/ Dash-9 9393 leadingChristopher
Fantastic work, Christopher......and, in such a short time!

Great Job guys, terrific pictures. You gave me some good ideas, I'm starting to rearrange my work room so I can build an around the walls layout. My biggest problem will be figuring out rather to put in a lift out where the door is or a lift-up or drop down. Happy weekend.
