Spotted this on Melgar's layout and had to get one. I rode a NY&LB to the beach from South Amboy…

in the search for that car, I stumbled upon this one - and being a Raritan River fan absolutely had to have it…

Not bad for Weaver cars…

DaveP,

You have sharp eyes to have spotted it on my layout, although it's usually parked up front. I'm surprised that you were able to find one, although it's slightly different than mine, which is New York & Long Branch Railroad - CNJ #25624.

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's(I have to wait for Uncle's Day). Well, I got that Weaver Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson to have a bit of a dead end run on the carpet today, no sounds though. I was hoping to hear something, so I guess there is a blown connection somewhere that I will not venture to try to even look at since I am not good at that sort of thing. I had hoped to have the 38088 Mogul running today, but for some reason it won't run in command(don't know the ID to it as it isn't ID#1). Works conventional though. Once that gets figured out I will hopefully get it running, until then, enjoy a few of the Weaver Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson going back and forth.

Yesterday, I visited the recently renovated and opened Lee Hall Depot in Newport News, VA.  Built in 1881 by the C&O when its line was extended from Richmond to provide a deep water port for the export of coal, the station was one of several along the right of way.  Very nice restoration with period fixtures and artifacts.  (Free admission with reserved tickets.)

One of the main movers in the project was also a fan of 3-rail trains and some were on display.

Well here we go. After messaging Pat(harmonyards) about getting the Weaver a little carpet practice and not being able to get the Mogul moving, he(Pat) talked me through programming it. So, here are "night" photos of 38088 New York Central 1924 making the run around the Christmas Tree Layout on its first official run as mine. I'll have to get some regular lighted photos maybe next week.
