Do you have a centerpiece of your collection or a favorite display for house guests apart from your train room?
Here's mine - nothing like a warm fire and a large Hudson to brighten up a cold winter morning!
Let's see yours

Yes. It's the recreation of the Panhandle bridge (all 11' 9" of it) across the Ohio River between Steubenville and Weirton.

This building was often removed from my home layout to be the centerpiece of my trackers' club shopping mall module. A thin Sony speaker can be seen in the windows of the lower pic that provided organ music I had recorded and marketed in the 1980's. Several years of setups passed before a fellow tracker club member asked: "Is that you?"
Cool idea for a thread. My quick PICs are crappy, but I have this original etching from the great artist Harry Sternberg hanging above a display of MTH Pennsy heavyweights being "pulled" by my Legacy E6 Atlantic in our family room.
Fun to see what brings us to the altar of these things. Great stuff fellas 🙂
What a great station Ron - a kit?

Arnold, I always enjoy seeing your ballpark and I love the backstory of how you came to find those terrific, charismatic figures at the Choo Choo Barn with your family here in PA.
What a wonderful thread!!!!!
I am loving all the masterful scenes and videos.
Thanks to all those contributing.
Happy railroading,
