Stebby:

  Are they jewels or LED?  Please excuse my nerdiness on this...

Regards,

Timboy

Jewels, no way I was going to try to fit working lights in those enclosures!

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

S-scale brass castings from Precision Scale purchased from Caboose Hobbies of Denver.  Two different styles, I kind of picked at random.  The ones that hang outboard on the Atlantic are a little delicate, you can see that one has already been bent out of alignment.  The new set on  the Pacific I mounted on the front of the firebox where they will hopefully be better protected from damage.

Trying something a little different, perspective wise.  Gonna give y'all a birds-eye view.  So let's hop on the back of Mr Mallard and fly above the Connellsville Sub.

 

Toppin' the Alleganies, we are over The Keystone Viaduct.

 

The tail end of our train is just entering the Narrows (left), as the GP40 exits Knobley Tunnel (right).

 

The train then "soldiers" up and across the Cumberland Viaduct (the beginning of B&O's West End).

 

As the train loops over itself, the head end is creeping across the State Line bridge in the Narrows.

 

 

On a return trip, our train loops thru Cumberland.

 

 

And then it's back to assaulting Sand Patch.

With this recent aquisition I have now doubled my stable of locomotives.  (Yes, I now have two.)

Of course before being put in service it was subject to the same modifications and upgrades that I performed on my AF Atlantic; a new and more realistic trailing truck, and marker lights on the front.

 

 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

High level platform added to a suburban station (based on how the LIRR built high level platforms around some older stations like Southampton and East Hampton).

MPC 8603 calls on station.

Lionel made this WC set for Menard's a few years back, one of most striking versions of the 2400

series passenger cars.

There has been a lot of excitement and activity around town lately.  Each year our fair city hosts a winter festival that has been called the Winter Carnival.  One of the members of the Historical Society, who is also on the City Council propsed that we revive a much older name for the festival. It seems that in the early years of the last century our town hosted a Winter Frolic.  So this year that is the theme of our festival.

 

 
Signs for the Winter Frolic have been appearing all over town and it has created quite a bit of excitement among the folks in town.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The ice walls for the festival grounds have been up for weeks, and the band hired for the skating area has also been playing for weeks.
 
 
The ice blocks for the ice sculpture contest have been cut and are ready to go.  The festival grounds should really beging to take shape over the next few days.
