Good Morning All,
Thanks Jerry for starting this today. I have made up a set of instruction for post pic. I will have to find it and e-mail it to you.

This week we wanted to share our Chessie Steam Passenger Train. This is a MTH PS-2 running under DCS control.



The Train is just leaving the station






I love the trail of smoke.

And here come the B & O 4-4-0 thru town

Hey Jim!

Better watch your milk containers! If someone's shootin' at your wind mill, those milk jugs are pretty tempting targets! [:D]

Where are the railroad cops when you need them? [;)]

...probably in the Krispy Kreme joint having treats with the Meter Maids...! Actually the blue milkman is totin' a pistol, ready to pop out and plink away at the felon who's plinkin' away at the milk jugs. We need HiRailJon to drive up and down the streets in his Sherman tank!!!

I don't post much or read all the threads, but these pics are always great encouragement for me to finish my small layout. One of these days, I'm gonna take some pics and share them here.

Jerry, that's a nice layout.... I looked very closely at that same design. My layout has an inner 027 loop with outer 042 loop, but I decided not to use crossover switching, prefering to keep the loops isolated for simple running of two trains. All of my operating car accessories are on the inner loop (used for freight trains), while the outer loop (passenger) has an operating passenger platform and crossing gates, etc. This saves on switches, for which I prefer postwar, not modern switches anyway.

Have fun!

Good going Jerry,

I am glad it work for you.

If you click on the picture while in your photo album is will enlarge. Then right click for its properties. That way you will post a larger picture.
