Few pics of the scenery items I got a York.

This is as you enter the trainroom:


The tunnel portal on the second level has a piece of tape where I removed some stones to narrow the portal by 1/2 inch.

Looking back


Looking the other way from previous picture.


This portal needed to be widened by 1/2 inch so this is where the stones I removed from the upper portal were used. They need some scultamold work now to fix the stones, but in all a pretty easy project.

Great photos and videos this week everyone.  Thanks for your contributions.  With Brutus' finds I'm not the only one posting tinplate this time.

 Here are a couple of photos of the streamlined steamers that occasionally make an appearance on the Blueboard Central Division of American Flyer Lines.

A few train shots from my recent trip to the bay area:

A Genset switching auto cars on the waterfront in Richmond

The remains of the slip at Ferry Point. From here RR cars would go across the bay to SF

And of course...

8N - not sure. I think that was on the Powell Street Line and I didn't make it up there this time. Got to see the cable house once, and that is definitely worth seeing.
