With all the rain I was thinking of Noah's Ark, so I thought I'd show pics of animals on the lod layout

 

 

Have fun

Real deal missile firing boxcar. Grandsons and I visited the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base earlier this week.

On my way to to Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, IA for a train show today.  Should be interesting to see who's there.  It's not one of the regulary scheduled Midwestern shows, it's in conjunction with the Eastern IA Div NMRA convention that took place this week.  Just enough time however to post this one shot of my most recent "upgrade" to my vintage AF Atlantic.

Greetings Folks,

In following with Jim's initial photos of animals on his layout I thought I would provide an update on some of Wausau's most famous animals.

Some of you may remember the arrival of the famous flock of Nils Jameson, the owner of Wausau Widgets and resident eccentric.

 

And Jameson's Christmas greeting to the town,

 

 

You may also remember that it was Jameson's intention to establish a breeding flock.

 

 

Well, lets just say that his plan has been successful.  Perhaps a bit too successful.  His "pets" are now showing up all over town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just for good measure I thought I would add a picture of the town dog- Rufus.

 

 

Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

Precision Scale.  I got them through Caboose Hobbies in Denver (mailorder).  They are brass castings, and the jewels do not come with them.  Fortunately my wife has so many pairs of earings, she will never miss that pair...

Here are some pics of the 350 Royal Blue that I bought last week:

It is stamped DEC. 1950 in white on the inside of the boiler, and from what I can see, it has seen very little use.  The only things that it needs is a new jack panel and the screw to connect the drawbar.  I am considering swapping the chasis for a 322 SIB chasis, but I am hesitant to drill out the stack.

Thanks for the help! but How did you do it? I looked at the how to post photos thread and it didnt help much...

[rtraincollector]

Will try this again just did it got messege oops something went wrong

anyway Bill all you need to do goto your photobucket account and scroll over the pic you want and click on the link that starts with [ I M G ] and ends with [/ I M G ] and paste it to the forum reply box and it will show up

I had to put spaces between the letters of IMG or all I would get is a small box in the place of it so make sure there are no spaces between the letters when you do it
