You know you have an audience, but I thought you guys should get a little more feedback!

I always enjoy and appreciate everyone's efforts. Thanks to all posters. 

And, as a' floored' runner, I'm particularly glad to see some others are down here with me.Smile, Wink & Grin

Perhaps I can compose a shot worth posting before my Christmas loop is deconstructed.Sad

The details really tell a story in of themselves. I got a kick out of the guy outside of the outhouse. This is one,  I would really enjoy a video of..that long consist of log flats is way cool. Is the sawmill on a separate loop or on a siding? That little Plymouth really fits in.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

RMT's Ore cars are top notch. I love the obscure roan names they've been doing.

They look good! Now I just need 10 more...:P

I've also been beefing up my collection of Maine related rolling stock.

That Pan Am boxcar is really sharp, and I am glad to see there are more choices in eastern regional roads than not so long ago...I enjoyed the photos, thanks for sharing. Bandit has good taste.

Wallyworld,  The Harmon Stove boxcar was put out by Weaver a couple years ago. The flame paint job is pretty cool.

The blue MTH PS-1 Streetcar was an uncataloged DAP release way back when. The MTH streecars are a kick to operate, about a half dozen station stop callouts.

Kev, I have one of those K-Line CC sawmills also, really a great accessory. I saw one sell on E-Bay a week or so ago for over $150 with a bunch of bidders.

Yes Bill they are very nice. It is one of the few buildings I have but wooks well with my looging theme. I picked mi up in May for $59.00 on E-bay and thought I did okay. Big Smile

I recently acquired enough of those miniscule Hafner freight cars to field a decent sized all Hafner consist for the Maxified steamer. The ridiculously over-sized trucks on the Flyer are appealing in an odd way..and of course  a Marx Monon coal train with a AB FM combo adds to the tin madness.

Bill,

I am always enlarging your photos to gander further on your vehicle collection as well as the unusual and colorful rolling stock. That  Harman Stove boxcar is way cool. I never saw a blue MTH  PCC cataloged..that art deco trailer is an eye catcher..a great way to start New Years Eve.
