Mt Seaman in the back has a new N scale beacon on one of the lower hills.

The signs Jim Apitz sent me are great! Eagles Ridge Electric Park in the background

The other end of the layout - My son's homemade Lego factory at the far end.

The Santa Fe steam passenger train by K-Line was a bit balky. The freight shed made of an oversized K-Line boxcar looks good. In the foreground is my attempt at farm crops using pipe-cleaners.

I have two trolley tracks around the Girard station - front and back - and the main line too.

One of the Johnstown trolleys at Union.

Yes, Apitz did a good job of helping me invade the Nawth. [Eagles Ridge Electric Park]

I was thinking of putting a little Ma & Pa grocery on my Halloween layout - Vincent's Price Chopper!  Fresh Meat! Farmer Vincent's Fritters a Specialty!

Great pics guys - as always, David, you are on the cutting edge of everything all at the same time!  Man, your energy is incredible!

THANK YOU csxt30 John Seaman for the key to unlock the mystery of posting pics

I have struggled mightily with this new software to make it work and John offered a suggestion that makes it work.  THANK YOU JOHN.

The old software was much more user friendly (at least for me) and I am now on my 3rd browser to make this work  Hopefully the gremlins will not invade my computer tonight

railfan23 - Is that an orange 1700 Lionel Jr. ??  Sharp looking engine.

I found this at the train store yesterday and knew it needed a new home, I stepped forward and did my duty.  The price on the pump was .19 a gallon-----sadly, I can remember paying that price in the '60's in Missouri............

Thanks Mitch, I wish it was original but it has been restored. I was looking for an nice original 1700e at York this past spring but just couldn't find one for my liking. So I thought this nice restored one will work for now, and maybe this fall at York I will find an original. I would like the get all of the varaitions of the 1700e's as well as the rest of the Lionel Juinors.

railfan23 - I just love pre-war streamlined passenger trains like the Flying Yankee and the Lionel Jr/1700e.  I don't have one yet,  but it is high on my list of wants.  I run all my trains so restored doesn't bother me. I'd be afraid to run a mint version for fear it would crash to the floor.  Having the different variations would be neat.  There are a bunch of them.  There is something about that orange that just draws me to those trains.  Of there's a yellow one that is pretty cool too!

I'll second that, Frank. Those mountains are incredible! Talk about inspiration! I just downloaded that photo to use as a guide.
