It's time for Weekend Photo Fun!!
Last Friday I went by TW Trainworx in N.C. and picked up my engine. Mike Reagan put a new Electric Railroad board in my Lionel first release Heisler .
They had just received their new laser cutter this week
Saturday I started on the new Jurassic World layout at the VMT.
I decided that my volcano was too short and had to buy some extra Styrofoam and ground cover to make it larger.
Let's see your pictures.

I swore to myself that I would not post any more photos of my engine servicing facility for a while, but yesterday I was playing around with my cell phone camera trying to get some night shots, and came up with this one, which I figured was worth sharing on the Forum. Here a worker keeps tabs on things by the ash hoist. The roundhouse and boiler house are lit up in the background shortly after the sun has set in Altoona.
Some local action this week.

Peter, is it a quiz?, did you change hats? 
tackindy posted:I broke down and bought one of those cell phone camera lens kits.... it's not bad. This is a fisheye lens that captures the entire layout! It was $30 so it was cheap but it works ok.
Nice! I really like the way you did the freeway overpass... I may have to "borrow" that idea someday
As we were operating at my Eola Yard we discovered that in the hurry to get the yard up and running we didn't provide any refueling options. So the MOW department of the Milwaukee Road quickly added a diesel fuel tank, a water refilling stand, and the waiting F-7's were able to get serviced for their next run. They also added a bumper to prevent engines running off the end of the track.
I see that already a pile of ties was dropped on the ground and other items are sure to soon follow. The yard and train crews are now upset that there is no where for them to get out of the weather and have coffee. Hopefully it won't take too long for something to get built.

Happy Weekend Everyone.

How about 8 seconds of PostWar to get you in a mood for York......
Love to see all the PostWar at York.......though I use the modern control systems and love all the modern stuff from all the manufacturers, I can’t seem to get PostWar out of my blood.....
I will bet that there are many who feel the same way.....

Love the "Egg Shell" tunnel in this video Scott!!
With the custom Bicentennial URR coming From Patrick's Trains l needed a caboose. I think this will work just fine 
This weekend's photo fun as at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC. Some grandkids visited as we were setting up so of course they got to run a train. We hope more grandchildren will visit on Saturday, show runs that day 10-4. Other photos show some of the scenery and trains, including the statues in Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials.
Great pictures guys! I see so many nice layouts...
Mike 
For this weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Some progress shots from the front of the layout. The shop building is now right up front. I eventually want a nice traveling crane for the back end of the shop building someday.
Doing some work on this Lionel B6sb switcher. What a great engine !!!!
Wow... I'm seeing some great modeling talent here! Glad I joined OGR!

My wooden model of the "Pioneer", the first locomotive of the Galena and Chicago Union Ry., a predecessor of the Chicago & North Western. I picked it up at a local memorabilia show many years ago. I assume it was a sale item or premium at one of the big fairs here (the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the 1933 Century of Progress or the 1948-1949 Chicago Railroad Fair), because the locomotive was on display at all three. It is now on display at the Chicago History Museum.
Johan,
that is a really cool engine and a great scene.

Scott, I love your dinosaur display. You are very creative.
We are holding a "Dinosaurs at The Depot" show at the G&O garden railroad next weekend. I will be posting some photos.
