Day late and a dollar short. Gotta work on my priorities and get online more on the weekend!  Big Smile

Lots of nice layouts to see.

Here's the trailer park (make that "mobile estates") on my layout. The trailers are kitbashed Plasticville items. This trailer park is right down town, not on the wrong side of the tracks....

Yes, Like that Kev! Looks like a nice layout with some long straights to run that very long train you had there. Looks like fun.

 

Here's an older shot of my layout (I don't like commenting on the photo fun threads if I haven't added a shot to it):

 

 

There's another view of the 3r ties you had asked about in another thread

Spankybird, looks like a neat spot for some railfanning. Is there a lot of action at the depot ?

The depot is on the CSX waterfront Main Line, so yes we see about a train every 15 minutes or so.

Thanks guys.  The hotbox reefer is an obnoxious piece of rolling stock.  The sounds are absolutely irritating.

Nice photos and videos today guys! Thanks!

Love the dual Yellowstones and the Baldwin sharks! The hotbox reefer is cool too.

I wonder if anyone has ever made flat wheel sound piece of rolling stock?

This is the 2006 issue.  I got it primarily for the J Class locomotive - that's been on my Lionel bucket list for some time.  It has TMCC and Railsounds 5.0.  The whistle is cool - sounds like a steam boat.

Here are a few photos of "The Jeffersonian" set from 1931 - 1932 that I have been describing over on the Pre War American Flyer thread as it travels around the Blueboard Central.
