Finally got to run my new PRR M1a from the Lionel coal hauler set at a run session of our PIHR weekly meeting on a member's basement layout. Here are a few pix from Wednesday night:
Zombies!
Looking forward to running the M1a with all the coal hoppers at our setup next weekend.

Thanks all for the comments, (likes). Feed store is a Walther's kit. Grain elevator is a Lionel kit. Water tower is MTH with a very good paint job, IMO. Station is BTS, Orbisonia Station, an advanced kit.

Latest on the "city" section of my layout. Still lots of detail work to do but its getting there!
More trees and shrubs are definatly coming!
I guess its fall/winter in the city? The other parts of the layout will have trees in full foliage.
Hmmm.... I just realized all the trains are hidden in the tunnels. Not sure why I do that. Maybe dust? Maybe cat protection? But then I remember I kinda do it when I'm working on scenery just to protect them from flying paint, plaster, and tools!
I had a little sailboat that was way too big for 1/48 scale. So I tore off the top and added decking and now it is a boat being renovated! Its just sitting in the open right now but will be placed appropriately once more scenery goes in.
Just finished a River Leaf freight depot
Please note the staircases and trim still have to be added to this model.
Happy weekend to all! Here are a few shots of an "old" Atlas gondola that was custom-decorated by the previous owner for my favorite railroad, the CNJ. I weathered it this past week and added a "muck" load made by fellow Forum member "Rail" (Don)...
Great job, Alex!!

I like thait switcher. Who made it/where did you get it?
Love this thread every week! One of my favorite things is to look at pictures or videos of layouts! Never disappointed, these look great, as always! Look forward to the day I have a layout and can post pictures! Great job guys, I envy you!!
New York monument in the Smoky Mountains!
This is a really neat replica on a small mountain road near where we live. About 8' - 10' tall. Didn't trespass to actually touch it (I might be suspected of being a 'revenuer' and risk being shot) so I don't know what material it is made of..

Thanks El Classico! That is an MTH RailKing SW1 switcher that I "3-rail scaled" last year. I fixed the pilots to the frame, removed the 3-rail "claw" couplers, filled in the large 3-rail coupler pocket openings, extended the foot boards and added some other details...and added Kadee scale couplers. Here are a few more pictures...

That's a nice set! I'm behind on the photo threads. I saw in a previous thread that you have a new addition to the family. A belated congratulations to you and your family!
