HighrailJon - Now I am not sure who made the coaling tower. I thought he kit-bashed the Lionel one, but not sure. I will have to check with him. This guy also has a house in Belgum and a layout with 20 engines there (also2 rail, mostly brass). His Belgum layout has be publish back in 93.

On the Atlas forum there was a post within the last couple of days by another modeler who had converted a G guage GP7 to battery power contolled by DCC contoller & RC. All kinds of ideas out there.

BUCKEYE how about a jet engine snow melter like LIONEL is coming out with. A nice propane torch mounted on a flat car would do the trick.

Thanks! I wanted to take a picture in the snow so I used the Aristo Craft track because I didn't want the ties on the GarGraves to get wet. I have some Lionel G gauge that I bought really cheap that I am going to add a third rail and also some assorted Bachmann, Aristo Craft, and LGB tarck that I'm going add a third rail to as well. I have some other pre war stuff that I will take pictures of this week. Nice work on your Union Station and road!!!
Nice Pic everyone!
daan:
that's outstanding!
Few more from today's progress:
Frank53 Nice work again Frank!
Hey I just saw that Sunday photo fun had 666 views!!!
So many wonderful photos this week! Daan, your layout is really progressing well. Love that Union Station!
Frank, great looking city scape! Great illusion of depth!
Doug - Apitz Forest? What a name! Looks like you know what you're doing with that furnace filter material!

Nope. Took it myself. It also comes in a Santa Fe F3 version, but you'll have to wait a while to see that one.
Chief, I see you still haven't fired your erect missile!!! Is there a problem???
Chief, I understand your problem completely. As you can see my Lionel GP-30 hardly smokes, too.
