WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 2015 Halloween Edition

 

LOL!  These are cute. (Last weeks, too.)

 

How are you creating these?  Clip art? Freehand?

 

 

Was running an older MTH RK RS1 in NH colors. These are really nice scale-sized engines. Was operating in conventional and holding te camera while moving the handle on teh Z4000 so please excuse the jerky takeoff. The startup sounds (and shut down too - 2nd clip) are terrific. Listen up...

 

Some photos and videos of trains at the D.A.R.E. Model Railroad Club. Definetly take a closer look at the 12th photo. 3/4 of the O-gauge DARE club photos I post feature the equipment, structures, or track of Peter Mason, late of Peters Township.  

 

 

And a new Youtube video: 

 

Laming - glad you like them!

Other than using a mouse and some internet fonts they are "free hand" drawn in vector with Adobe Illustrator. No clip art but heavily inspired by cartoons and comics.

Happy Halloween! 

 

Our local high rail group dolled up our Prescott (AZ) mall display for the mall's Halloween festivities this afternoon.  And we spend three hours entertaining and being entertained by what must have been hundreds of delightfully costumed youngsters (and parents)  

 

Here is one of my two display layouts all dolled up for Halloween.

 

Halloween memories

Dummy me - I didn't even notice that it said "halloween weekend".  I didn't do Halloween on my 2014 Christmas layout but did on my 2013 Christmas layout so if it's not too cheesy to use old pictures I can add a few Halloween ones:

Hey Scott,

 

What was the reaction at Church. It appears that everyone was enjoying the trains. Were they surprised you brought them? Was there anyone that wanted to get started in the Hobby after seeing the gorgeous tinplate?

There's no surprise. I have been running trains at church for several years now. I usually run at Halloween, Vacation Bible School and at Christmas.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE !!!

Makes them even more impressive! Quite professional looking in a "cartoon genre" way!

 

Thanks for the reply.

Anyone else had to clean up from mischief night?

These pics were from the Paradise and Pacific O gauge group in McCormick-Stillman Park. To see the impressive lift bridge and read about train related Groups in AZ, (Except Tuscon, and Grand Canyon).

Nothing too spooky here, but here are some recent purchases of mine.  Will open them soon.

Hello, first time trying to post a pic, lets see if this works. Converted a Marx 7 inch State of Maine Boxcar to 3/16 scale trucks.

 

Trying again, last pic post kinda worked. Here's some Marx tank cars.

Nice photos everyone! 

 

Here are a couple from our ride on the Western Maryland Scenic last weekend:

 

 

 

 

A couple of doer uppers that came this week, the Rs is powered & the GP is a dummy both with Led's. The chassis of the Gp is off & re sprayed ready to be reattached.

After seeing the train show last weekend, grandson wanted to do more scenery. Ballast, bushes, dirt and grass. "Grandpa, I could ballast all day!"  Better you than me, kid.

very nice! I've done a PRR Merch car, and a Nickel plate Tender like that. A State of Maine is one I'd like to do as well. Love to see more your your stuff!

I caught this picture of  little guy watching train run around a Christmas Tree at the Lionel Display in the Orange Hall at the October 2015 York meet.

 

 

 

Have a good week

I need a little help please.

 

I lost the instructions on how to use the new link for adding photos from my Flicker account. Can someone post a link on how to do it.

Thanks

Steamer (Dave) The PRR Merc is on my list of future Marx cars. Would enjoy seeing pics of your Marx too. I was always interested in PW Lionel and AMT/Kusan/KMT. Never paid much attention to Marx. Being from Indiana originally always liked the MONON and wanted to get a Marx Monon diesel. Once I got the Monon diesel, caboose, and a few freight cars, I was addicted to the Marx. Still like the PW Lionel like stuff, (Williams copies too), but the Marx tin stuff is great fun. Thanks again for asking and hopefully I can get this picture thingy to work again.

  High stakes checkers!  

 

 

 

 

  Mark. 

 

you ya go PW

 

 

Dave, that Nickel Plate tender looks great with your triple 6. The Penn Merc looks good with the scale trucks. Looks like 2 more Marx I will have to keep an eye out for. I also see  you have one of the nice PW Lionel Milk cars. I have the one with the brown doors, can't think of the number now, but I have had it since my youth and it shoots those milk cans everywhere...great fun.

Dean

Thanks, the 666 needs a big tender . I've got two of the milk cars, one was Dad's, and I picked up another one a while back.

I know, Tuesday morning is not the weekend, but I wanted to try and see if I could get a video to upload, so here goes.

 

Got the video to post, but I think I selected a "insert into post body" after it uploaded that caused it to show twice... sorry about that.. If someone knows if I can edit my own post to delete the 2nd one I am all ears.
