Scott, that's very nice work on the Pirates figures.
Sirt, As real as usual!
Very nice Alex.
A month or so ago, I posted photos of a model highway bridge I was constructing. It was a model of PA Route 35 where it crossed over the Middle Division of the PRR at Mifflin, PA. Well, I just finished the model, and here are some photos, including one of the prototype for comparison. Year is supposed to be 1966, and notice the mid 60's automobiles. I've looked hard for regular 4 door sedans, not Corvettes and convertibles. Please excuse the driverless station wagon!
Neal:
Great job transitioning the road from the bridge to the backdrop.

Ran trains at the Delaware Seaside Railroad Club on Wednesday. No, the Acela isn't mine, but it is awesome!
Happy Friday
Back from 10 days in my home state of NJ! Survived the car ride w/ 3 kids, wife & pug! Giovanna celebrated her first birthday! It was good to relax & catch up w/ family & friends. I found some time to do some railfanning & visited some old CNJ relics while I was up there. Still have many pics to go through.
Didn't do much on the layout this week, as we got home Monday & then everyone was back to work/school.
Main thing I did was this bridge over my Newark Bay. I would have LOVED the 213 lift bridge, but the base was a bit to large as was the price.
A buddy of mine who does woodworking was nice enough to build me a bridge to cross my version of Newark Bay. Was able to install it this week & run a test train over it.
Painted it a flat black last night -
CNJ RDC cars pass through Elizabeth, heading to Jersey City
Background flats are being installed , as well as a signal bridge
CNJ H-16-44 1516 leads a short local on the Freehold Branch
RDC cars heading to Raritan
NJT ALP45DP 4524 leads a Sunday afternoon Raritan bound train through Hillside, NJ
The only surviving CNJ steam engine in operation, CNJ 0-6-0 113 (renumbered to 115 for this occasion) prepares to couple to it's excursion train in Minersville, PA
Recently rebuilt NS AC44C6M 4004 rests in South Yard w/ a another AC44C6M & a T4 GEVO
NS 29G heads through Shawsville, VA with Dash-9 9590 leading
NJT Veterans ALP46 4641 shoves a Trenton bound local train out of Metuchen, NJ
Gordon is the club's resident B and O fan. Here are some shots of B&O equipment from around his layout.
The bridge scenes are works in-progress. They will look great when he completes them!
I brought my NS Safety train and 9-1-1 engine for a different splash of color.

Have a great weekend everyone! Below are a few shots of one of only two steam engines on my "roster". CNJ 0-6-0 switcher #107 is a Weaver brass model that is very near and dear to my heart.

Neal,
I cross that bridge every time I visit my parents in Port Royal. Beautiful job. You really captured the feel of the area.
