Thanks guys!  Big Smile

I haven't recieved my copy yet either.  But I didn't think it was "late" enough yet to contact anyone at Kalmbach.  I wasn't going to worry till after April 20th, which is within the usual window for deliveries in my area.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

Hey lynnbrookyankee, if you're from the Lynnbrook I think you are pop over to the "Classic Trains" site and check out the "Blue Comet" thread on the Forum.

You may find it interesting.

Becky - it is a pic of a Lionel 675 Pennsy steamer (partial view) emerging from the right behind one of your stations, with a American Flyer 4-4-2 coming from the left under a pedestrian bridge approaching one of your passenger platforms. Nice green mountain in the back with lotsa flora. Very nice, nicely scenic'd!

 

OK.  I thinbk I know which shot you're describing.  Problem is I sent them these pics awhile ago and pretty much forgot about them.  Wink

The current layout configuration which will be set up again soon (hey!  I just got the Christmas trees down!  Laugh):

Evolved from this, it's 2006 configuration:

Just a BIT more complex!  Wink

Congrats Becky!  Nice shot, and very Spring-like.  We could all use a little Spring right now.

Mr. McClellan, I think the Lionel's Becky's 2035, the one I call the "Blockbuster."  Very formidable when you see it in her videos!

But there's something very  disquieting in this month's issue, to whit, a half-page ad on page six for portable oxygen generators!

OK, I know some people assume this hobby is populated by retirees and their parents, but isn't this a bit much?  WhistlingWink

And "Well Done!" to everyone else who's layouts made the Photo Album!

Congrats!

One of my influences for going "full-in" with colorful Spring scenery was some of Pennytrains past pics.
