This is for Scott (NKP4me). After you and your dad had stop by over thanksgiving weekend. One of the club memembers had took a liking to your dads 0-6-0 WL&E. Made a run to Patricks trains in wheeling WV. He had one. Ran it on my layout today. Beautiful switcher! ONE
Heck of a smoke unit in it!

Chris. I love the cooling tower at your atomic energy plant. Hopefully it is spewing MegaSteam, ProtoSmoke or similar! 
David S, hope you were at the museum after we finally got the National Capital Trackers layout in full operation. Electrical short problems delayed some lines, but by mid-afternoon all was in order. Here's a few photos of some of the trains.
The Baldwin Centipedes. Thomas and my Lionel UP SD40-T, The Empire State Express #999, and GG1 4907.
The CBS railroad ran it's daily trains today,The day after the end of the world. We are still here, up and running.
My wife bought an I Phone last spring while I just got a replacement plain Jane, just a phone phone. Occasionally I get to play with hers and after seeing an Apple commercial for its Panorama function, I had to see what it would do.
Here is an overview of the train room.
Santa is supposed to have an Albuquerque station in his pack for me and it will replace the Lionel #114 station you see in downtown Douglas, the main town on my layout.
And, guess what my next phone is going to be?
I really look forward to seeing this thread. I am not here nearly as much as I used to be but now is the time of year I really enjoy my trains.
Great photos everyone!
This is our Christmas/Polar Express layout in our basement. My son has re-created scenes from the movie. Hope you enjoy. Merry Christmas.
Sorry, here are the photos.
PW 2353's under the tree..
All the pics are great. There's always a pic that we identify with. That's what's great about these posts. For me, this one nailed it! Have a simply wonderful Christmas everyone.
Hope you all get that kid like Christmas feeling back again.
12/21/12: "I spent my whole life collecting O scale trains... life well spent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
One more G scale pic for the week. I'm building an intermodal train in both O scale and G scale. I just got more roadrailers in G so it's going together faster. trouble is the length:
I haven't added the tofc's yet. thirty to fifty cars go around most RR's!
Even though my focus is a bit off on this one, it is a great shot of my son enjoying the polar express around the tree.

Note to all you folks with kids-trains-and-Christmas photos:
Consider sending them along to me at the magazine. If I receive a sufficient variety of them, I may be able to put together a special photo feature for the 2013 December issue. It might make a fine keepsake for you and your family over the coming years.
Do keep in mind though: I will need high resolution images (largest file size that your camera can produce).
A favorite of mine many years ago. Micah is 11, soon to be a Boy Scout. He still enjoys trains, though we spend much more time fishing and riding bikes.
