Here's my latest attempt in building a coaling tower, still lots to do & may have made it a little too tall, needs windows yet & all kinds of walkways & handrails, spouts. Thanks, John

Here's one of my Santa Fe "Super Chief" excursion trains...Amtrak is my scheduled passenger train.

Wish I had a permanent layout[V]

Two scratch-built trestles: one a curved one and the other double wide to use for a turnout:

That's one helluva traffic jam on your layout. Better prod your town's urban planners to come up with a solution or put more commuter trains into service. Thanks all for the posts. Always look forward to Sunday Photo Fun

The layout pictures are awesome!! It's great to see the amount of fantasy used to solve problems like a switch on a trestle!

Super Pictures everyone! Keep it up.

Doug M, I only had three 6464 style cars and a work caboose on it. It was brand new rite out of the box so I wanted to go a little easy on it's maiden voyage. Yes it is a Milwaukee Rd BEEP, with TMCC and sounds. It was a lot of fun to run and some of the reactions when you hit the beep-beep sound was really funny. The only problem, which I expected, was like a split second hesitation on the wide radius switches on the club layout, which if you weren't looking for is not all that noticeable. My opinion, [tup][tup]

Nice pictures everyone, hopefully my parts come in for my lionel 259e so I can post a picture of it in the upcoming sunday photo fun.
