Finley Station is scratch built from various manufactures materials. I can give you those manufactures if you like. the design is my own. Finley was my father in law who gave me his childhood toy train which inspired me to build this layout. Yea if you"re going to do it do it right the first time! CTT thought enough of it to award me 2nd place in their recent diorama contest! Make me feel proud; oh so humble.

jackiejr ---> Sign - Welcome to SPF.

That is some layout you have there!  Nothing like stepping up to the plate for the first at-bat and swinging for the fence.

What make is FINLEY STATION?

Great photos everyone. MichRR714: Thanks for the video. I enjoy seeing photos and video of Fastrack layouts since that is what I am using. Also, that is some nice custom work on the engine house. Timboy: That is one clever idea! The only photos I took today were of the of the updates I completed to my benchwork. I posted a few photos in my benchwork post. Joe

Fife - You are welcome sir

Chief - You recognized the shot!

Tim - The All Aboard panels are a neat idea.  The small radais won't haand the 332, but they are fun.  I take the All Aboard panels to train shows.  Not many folks have seen them.

Bill T.:    "Platinum Ghost"    One thing, for sure - with my budget, I'll never have a "ghost-of-a-chance" to ever afford one.   Very nice.  Thanks for the pictures and reply.

Nice pics guys - I have seen a clear loco at a local store, used, with a pretty high pricetag on it.

Timboy, something is wrong with your layout.  Someone stole your middle rail!  Laugh

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

This one is by Lionel and is called the Platinum Ghost. It is a conventional AA F-3 diesel with 3 clear Madison passenger cars. I believe it was released by Lionel as a reproduction of the original clear Post War F-3's that were used by Lionel Salesmens back in the fifties to demonstrate the inner workings of PulMor motors.

It is an interesting set that always brings up some comments from visitors.

 Bill T.:  Nice.  

Guess I've been living  a sheltered "train life" Blush  Can you (or anyone else) tell me a little about the "See-through"  engine?     As always, many thanks.
