Let's see your pictures.

Good morning to all!

...keep the rails polished...

The Groom Lake Mining weekly Haz-Mat train pulls in for water.

Dave,
I don't know about your neighborhood. You have a peeping tom watching the girls and now you seem to have a crook holding a bag of money. Is crime on the rise? I think you need to hire more police officers.

It's a pretty rough town. The police are trying, they got hit pretty hard with the economic situation, had to let go 1 of the 3 guys working.

The donuts shop then went out of business

Scott- Why did you use the Canadian locomotive to start an American weekend? Poor choice IMHO. Dave G.

Great Picture ALERT.....





Dave, Bill

You guys are spot on.

I won't say Scotts choices are poor. Besides, its Toy Train Photo Friday! A fine holiday if there ever was.

All that said, I hope someone posts a shot of Preamble F-3s and Bicentennial cars to celebrate the Fourth!
Or a Grucci Fireworks boxcar.....

Have a safe and enjoyable 4th!

July 1:
Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the 1 July 1867 enactment of the British North America Act, which united Canada as a single country, which was in turn composed of four provinces. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally.

In this part of country we have what is known as the friendship festival, with dual fireworks etc.

These are all great photos!

It would be really cool if someone posted a picture of the American Freedom Train done by K-Line years back.

Anyone....anyone....?

Have a happy 4th of July.

Wow, now that's service! I clicked the post now button and when my post showed, it was just below the picture of the AFT!

This forum is spectacular!

Dave, you really have done a great job with Fastrack realism. What did you use for ballast?.
To be honest, I was thinking about dumping my Fastrack before I started the layout, but now, I'm not sure.

Early morning arrival here.
Docksider bringing the July 4th parade train into town for the big celebration.

Always remember those who have served and those who are serving this nation.

I use this ballast from Scenic Express. Once its down and glued, it blends pretty nice.

Rich,
Thank you.
Turntable and Roundhouse are on my layout. The modular TT and Roundhouse are seperate. TT is a Diamond Scale OT 105. Older Korber 304 house.

Rich,
Great scene.


I was so focused on the Metra unit when the eastbound CZ snuck up on me.

The guys in the control tower get a great view, too!

Happy 4th of July Weekend Everyone!

Here are some of my 18 K-Line AFT cars




Here are a couple of MTH's AFT passenger cars.

CAPPilot - Nice cars thanks for showing!

Scott- Why did you use the Canadian locomotive to start an American weekend?

1) I don't have any patriotic trains. Mostly due to the manufacturers ignoring the N&W diesel in Bicentennial paint scheme. I can't even find the proper decals to make one.
2) It was Canada day this week
3) The engine was a Canadian Hudson,,,but it was proudly wearing the Southern name. Which by the way is prototypical.

A few pics from Strasburg.

I haven't been able to post any pictures due to computer problems, but I think I have found a work around for now.

This picture was taken a couple weeks ago when we were testing an Atlas signal.



This makes me even more anxious to get to that stage of my layout construction.

Art

Hey Art, that's nice!

If it isn't too much, when you are further along or finished, please post something about your experience. I've been very interested in the Atlas signal system, but don't know anyone with first hand experience.


Ricky, I love that Mopac action. It's especially nice with the 4449. WOW!

My very first video of my layout
