Let's think back to Christmas. 

A late night freight leaves town as the lights come on during Christmas Eve. 

The Lehigh Valley Railroad, the Route of the Black Diamond Express, John Wilkes and Maple Leaf.

Thanks for starting Jeff. Just purchased my first MTH engine. BNSF SD70 w/PS 1. Wow! I'm easily impressed when it comes to toy trains. Lol.

There was a model RR swap meet in my town yesterday.  I picked up these three items.  The most unusual one was from a gentleman who had three of these unlettered 24575 flat cars that he was selling for $15 a piece.  Apparently these unlettered cars have been spotted in the past with "Bordens" containers mounted on them.  But according to Doyle's catalog it's not know if those were factory built, or dealer assembled items.  I have other plans for mine, as you can see.

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

My newly repaired MTH Wanderer (which is crankier than my ex-wife), Marx Erie gondola which was resurrected and my newly rebuilt N5c Lionel Lines Caboose:

Hi all,

Well you have such nice photos of layouts all running and landscaped.  I don't know if this can be called "Sunday Photo Fun", but it is Sunday and I am happy with getting all my turnouts cut up to create my new yard.
