Great photos all !

Friday was Chessie, or it's associated roads, Day. Lots of freight action except for one C&O passenger consist. I was running two Atlas Chessie GP15's, a B&O GP9 and an MTH Chessie GP9.

Hhmm, is this guy working in the RPO or is he looking for food or a drink ?

Fun was had by all !

PTC

Northwoods Flyer, love your Christmas photos.

 

Thanks PTC. That is a great compliment coming from one of the masters of Christmas layouts.  I truely enjoy your North Pole PE layout.

Here are a couple of my favorites of the Blueboard Central from several years ago.

Kev - I've got the Lionel version of this.  I agree.  These things are great. 

I even got an extra 'B' unit, so I can make an ABBA set. That turns out to be a long beastie, though.

 

8N, I would love to see some pictures of your ABBA set. I have the Lionel Santa Fe ALCO 218 red and silver war bonnet in a ABBA set that I have had since I was a kid.  But with only one motor it takes most of it's power to pull itself. It would be nice to have one of the B units set up with two motors like you made. So it is a shelf Queen most of the time. Laugh

Well I've been a bad boy this past week or so I actually bought 2 different U.S.M.C. # 45 missile launcher engines. One had a bad shell but rest was fine except man and screen the other had a great shell also missing man and screen but the missile launcher was messed up and even with working with it could not get it to work in the engine so I switched bodies and came up with one great one and one that will be parts. I also bought 6 frieght cars 5 in the grey color and a black 3 wheel truck crane 2460 so I have a lot of pics sorry 

 

The engine is the engine I'm using to pull my new frieght set it's a 2055 

Sorry for so many but was the best way I could do it.
