Weekend Photo Fun-Fall York Edition2015

Mark very nice B&O E8's

GarySeven,  I just loved that ad for a real horror flick!!! Thanks for creating it!

A few photos I took today while visiting David Kenyon.  He has a fantastic layout with both standard and O gauge trains.  His modeling and painting skills are impressive!

Had a nice surprise this week. The in laws have been on a trip to Alaska, Canada with a stop over in NYC. FIL wanted to get Mason and myself a model of the Rocky Mountaineer tourist train they travelled on during their trip.

 As this was not available in 3 rail O gauge FIL took himself on a trip to Train World while he was in NYC. First I knew of it was a phone call from Train World asking what control system we had.

 This arrived this week.

FIL went with Alaska road name. Very nice. What we were not expecting was all the cars. He liked the search light car which is Strasburg Railroad so he bought it as well.

Engine is Lionel, Cars by MTH apart from the searchlight car.

Have a great Sunday

someone hit the bar too much

Well, I had to miss York this year due to a last-minute family issue, but I did get back from Utah in time to take a grandson to the Great Scale Train show at the Timonium Maryland State Fairgrounds. More three-rail activity is appearing there. Here's the DC Hi-Railers Layout. "Look Grandpa, there are apples on the trees!" Indeed there were, very realistic made with small beads and hairspray used to keep them in place. Lots of scale pumpkins, too! After going to the show yesterday, and sleeping over last night, all he's wanted to do today is work on the basement layout. "Let's pretend we are at a train show and this is one of the layouts that we are getting ready....."

I love it when a plan comes together!

A few layout photos...all iPhone material here. 

I like to think that I've run out of room until I find the "last thing" that I think I can make room for. 

Here are some things that followed me home from York...

Station Platform and figures for upper loop. 

More Model Power figures from Nassau Hobby

I'll have to wire up the flashing beacon on this MTH water tower I got from Just Trains

A dark photo but some coal, LCL containers, transformers, and "junk" for my "yard" (if you can call it that... )

Dina and I had a wonderful time with the best friends you can possibly ask for. !!!!!!

We are so lucky to have many many great forum member friends.

    OGR, KORBER, RIVER LEAF GANG !!!!!

Had a great time at Quaker Steak & Lube   I tried to get lubed drinking something they called Burn Rubber  Had four of them before switching back to my favorite flavor beer.  The best part of Burn Rubber though was that they were made with home made lemonade  All those pits that got stuck in the straw were quickly shot at Alex's head.  LOL   

We started out the night gawking at female wrestling on the TV by us.  Dina said they have nothing on her

Then Alex wanted to take a picture of our waitress who was great

Alex didn't think he looked as cool as the waitress so he had to act like he was

Thank you, Jeff!  I'm glad you like them!

Your welcome!

Lol, layout "dead" spots. See the ghosts of trains past arise from these locations.
