Tom; great pictures again !! I like those little CSX shortline hoppers ! We used to work those cars in the Harbor in Ashtabula years ago, shipped iron ore in those to the mills in Cleveland by you. We called them Jennies !! I don't think they use them any more, though.
Thanks,

I havn't posted any pictures in a while because I have done very little to the layout except run trains. But here are few old shots.

I had a few things on the shelf that I had never taken out of the boxes. My grandson unboxed them and made up a train. Distributed power?













His train consists of a Lackawanna Porter, 2 CNJ hoppers, a CNJ Plymouth, another CNJ hopper and a CNJ caboose. All are K-line items.

John, Looks like you have a large collection of trains by the shelves
in the background. Neat train room.

Its about 8' X 14', three loops all connected to each other; outer is a folded dogbone that goes up to a reverse, then back down, into a tunnel, and under the table to another reverse loop. Then there are two other loops on the main table.

Yes, that is what I have been calling CSX all along. [;)]

Great shots guys.

Great pictures guys.

Don, I am still working on the stock yard. Ran out of lumber (stripwood) and haven't found time to get more. Also I am slow.

The Track was down and running trains in about 4 weeks and the rest was done in about 6 months. There are still a few small areas that I am planning on reworking. [;)]

Rain, rain, rain

The Urbane Hound Dog

BB the Beagle has picked up a promising, delicious rabbit scent in the townhouse commons of Kingsbrooke. Some friendly residents (seen in the distance) point in the direction the rabbit ran, but BB already is hot on the trail!



The scent leads her to someone’s property. Sorry BB, we cannot trespass. After the classical pulling exercise we continue on the scent.



Oh boy, here we go, the rabbit has chosen the underbrush.



Into the underbrush she goes and I follow in a low crawl. Hope I don’t get too cut up today.

An irate neighbor from his townhome deck yells at us, telling us we’re killing trees and that he’s going to report me to the HOA (the HOA for those not familiar, is a Gestapo like housing agency that has enforcement authority of any rule it dreams up, such as color of door etc. When people complain, the HOA happily instates rule after rule so the rulebook is pretty thick now)

I yell back that my HOA monthly fees pay for these commons areas and that the dog is on a leash and within regulations. He yells back that my dog’s barking makes his dog bark.

BB spots the rabbit and we take off again thru the commons, as I get in some good windsprints.



I end up carrying BB back home 2 blocks, b/c the rabbit has headed for the single-home properties. Back at the “ranch” she gets a well deserved drink and then a nice bone.

Hello All! Nice Photo's. Dave-You & BB should move to Ohio. Lots of land for her to roam & rabbitts to chase. HOA sounds like "House Ogre's of America"[;)][:)][:o)] Take Care.
