Weekend Photo Fun 7-27-12-??

Rode the Black River RR caboose hop with my high school class mate and fellow forum member Bill Pierce

 

22mile, two hour ride from Ringoes to Three Bridges and back

 

 

This is a card stock building for a back wall. More pictures and description on the "Scenery Forum's" Sunday Scenic Showcase.

 

Work today began on the upper level of my basement layout, combining my tracker modules with a permanent connection. A permanent piece will carry the upper level off the bridge  behind the removable 3 center modules.

 

First photo:  the lower level with bridge in place, Second:  the work added so far today.

 

Plans revise slightly as space issues are confronted.

A few shots of NKP 765 at Maumee, Ohio earlier today...

 

This is my American Flyer wide gauge passenger car set I just finished to go with my AF box cab I also restored that has a Frank Timco can motor installation.

 

 

My regular Wednesday afternoon - Saturday ride...   

 

 

 

 

Brian, Love your night shots. The GCT is all ablase and your passenger stations look very busy. Thanks for sharing.

You're killing me man. Who makes the P&LE boxcars?

Weaver does, although not this exact version.  I think theirs is a 50' double door.  As for the one pictured, I wouldn't be surprised if SIRT made that himself!

Well my layout plans are now on indefinite hiatus as life hasn't gone exactly the way I wanted (thought I was going to get engaged, she had other plans.  With a co-worker.)  So I've moved into my new place and for now it's the Bedroom and Western.

 

Been there, done that. Well, you know your trains will always stay with you!

It's like going back in time, Wowak!  When I was in my early 20s, I ran some 027 under my bed so I could run my Cannonball Express.  To add light, I bought a CNJ work car.  The set's caboose did not have a light.  Now that I am twice that age, some of my cousins still comment on the train I had under the bed.  LOL

Too bad I didn't take any pictures at that time.

Yeah, except I'm in my 30s!  They told me to grow up.  I said no.

I find that when most people tell others "grow up," they are really saying "grow old and miserable, like me."  If you are living responsibly (roof overhead, food on table, clothes on back, and bills paid), then you are already "grown up."  I am currently 21 with 23 years experience at being 21.
