Those are some great pictures!  I sure am jealous of you guys with large areas to build a layout, but thankful for the space (and understanding, supportive wife) that I have.

This is one of the toy train scenes from Steamtown's Railfest 2010 last weekend. A group of Lego model railroaders set up a display in the History Museum.

In addition to fantasy houses, they also showcased this authentic model of the Tamaqua, PA  Reading RR station.

They even have a windfarm to keep the lights on.  The Reading & Northern freight is wizzing past the neighborhood.

Great posts all,

NW Flyer - I'm sure that was a fun day.  Our local train museum will have a caboose train ride next week, but we are going to have to miss it.

Kurt - Your depot looks great.  I did not build that coal tower.  It was on consignment at a hobby shop.  I would like to make buildings look that good, but I'm not there yet.

Seayakbill - I always enjoy your photos.  I am fond of that Yuengling building since I grew up near Pottsville.

Thanks for starting the thread this week Joe.  Nice pictures of the coaling tower.  And thanks to everyone who posted, I really like those animal cracker cars.

During the month of September the Lake Superior Transportation Museum in Duluth MN is running something special on their weekend excursions  -  steam power.  All month long the 2719 is being fired up and pulling the train to Two Harbors Minnesota and back.

Last Sunday was a particularly important day for me, as my son was the student fireman on the run.

He even managed to get old dad up into the cab for a few minutes before the run began.

So for my Photo Fun for this week I thought I would share some photos of chasing the 2719 along the north shore of Lake Superior out of Duluth to Two Harbors.

Steam engines fascinate me.  "Playing with my Trains" and chasing steam engines are two of my favorite activities.

Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

Hi all,

I hope you don't mind me starting this week and a bit early, but I might be away most of the day tomorrow.  Here are some shots of a weathered coal tower I recently picked up.
