WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 7-29-16-??

Here is Raritan River Railroad SW900 number 1 working my layout's main freight yard. The Hercules Centerflow and Hostess Airslide cover hoppers were common sights on the line in later years as Hercules in Parlin and Continental Baking in East Brunswick generated significant volumes of traffic for the railroad.

Really nice job on this, Peter!  I've been following your progress, and all your efforts have certainly paid off!

Enjoy!

Followed the New York Central electrics around the layout today. The S motor is by Lionel and the T3 is a Sunset 3rd Rail product.

OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a subway station platform I'm building for my club. The NJ Hi-railers. 

Footprint 8 foot long 6 1/8 inches wide. 

Had some out patient surgery done and I am recovering well. So I had some time to do some backdrop painting.

Happy Friday - everyone!

Just picked up some Menards rolling stock this week. I bought the cars for the Pepsi trucks and passed along the flat cars and free boxcars to my boys. Talk about solidly built! These boxcars are made of super thick plastic which is perfect for little hands. 

A busy day at the Intermodal Terminal.

A 2015 Christmas layout memory

Maybe one on the more expensive "backdrops" used.  For the unfamiliar, these are Pittsburgh Pirates logos that are printed in the summer months on the cardboard cases for a local beer, I.C. Light, made by Pittsburgh Brewing Co.   That's a lot of beer making up my "backdrop"!!!

Great pics everyone,  Happy Bday Josh. I have been working on a mountain for a friend's layout.  Here are a few pics. 

Welcome to suburbia, the side of the tracks where things are a bit cleaner and not so worn and weathered...

Today is our last day in Maine, and fortunately we got to see the Railway Village in Boothbay. No O Gauge, but fantastic operating Maine two-foot narrow gauge and a tremendous HO layout depicting Maine Central, Boston & Maine, and Bangor & Aroostock.  Also a great collection of vintage autos, trucks, tractors, outboards, and more. Kids loved it. So did Grandpa.

Made a little bit of progress on my N5c boom car.  The next major step is to add lighting, then it can finally be buttoned up for good.

For me had my fleet of Pennsy out to oil them after our show an decided to get couple shots of them together. 

Just delivered purchase. A clean up and refresh project for the weekend. Now on the hunt for the 6466WX tender.

Looking good.

I guess not everyone was excited about the Century club

In the picture above, the kitten is fast asleep in front of a beautiful box of Beautiful Passenger Cars....This set is a really nice set. I recently sold my entire collection, every car, every extra car, every locomotive, every display, Simply One Sale, ALL GONE!!! One.....Stroke of the Pen....

Our family has been to the Boothbay Railway Village a number of times.  It's a great stop for a family vacation for all the reasons you mention.

Another children-pleaser is the handcar they have on the grounds just behind the main station.  It runs back and forth on a short straightaway.  Being able to pump themselves up and down is a big thrill for the kids.

Don't forget to cut through the woods and go to Damariscotta.  Another beautiful small Maine town.

I'm envious,

now I like that...nice job!

Some of my projects from over the Summer included burning some trash, working on the barn, cleaning the work bench and fishing. 

My wife suggested I get some patriotic cars to go with her Fourth of July house.  Patrick's Trains came to the rescue with the O Line Pennsy caboose!  I'm ready for the next patriotic holiday!
