Nothing to see here but the Century Club  Hudson with commemorative cars in tow.

A 2023 Christmas Layout memory

I live in Pittsburgh, home to the famous Duquesne Incline which is ALWAYS shown during sporting events here.  My version is NOT an attempt at realism or "look alike".  It's merely representative of it.

The round sign is a Miler animated lited sign.

I wish I had a better picture of it that showed the 'building' at the bottom of the incline that is supposed to represent the waiting area for passengers, but I don't

For this weekend, I ran two trains behind Maine Central locomotives on my 12’-by-8’ model railroad.

Maine Central Class W 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotive #501 (model by Weaver) headed a freight train with three boxcars – including Bangor & Aroostook #1407 (Weaver/CMP), Maine Central #36123 (Atlas O), and Rutland #8086 (MTH).

Maine Central F3 diesel locomotive #686 (model by MTH Premier) headed a passenger train with a consist of two Boston & Maine heavyweight coaches by MTH.

The Boston & Maine Railroad was a part owner of the Maine Central and equipment from both railroads was sometimes used on passenger trains between Boston and Portland, Maine.

I built the bridges on the layout from wood kits by Miami Valley Products.

Setting up for the two week show in Colonial Hts/Petersburg VA.......

If you live anywhere near us, come on done (or up or over).

There are ten N gauge layouts, two O gauge, one HO, and one Lego; along with hundreds of antique cars, trucks, busses and tractors......

Our O Gauge layout is 20x55 (Four of us are joint members of RC3R and National Capitol Trackers.....Tom (Gilly@N&W) and I built two transition models so that we could combine modules from both groups where ours has three parallel tracks......and we also are using three Tracker modules.........

Also, a few of our guys are not going to be here (vacation). Consequently, instead of being responsible for 18 linear feet, I'm doing 26......This is where I use my "emergency city" (eight Lionel buildings bought at blow-out prices at York in the early teens and saved for emergencies).

By mid week, my area(s) were done.......ready for tomorrow!

Have a great and safe weekend, folks!

Happy Friday!
