Tom--your Christmas shots look terriffic, thank you!

Here's my new Bobber, directly behind the Overton Presidential coach


If you look closely you can see the Overton consist with the new Bobber at the end


Thanks to Tom for his recommendation of the Bobber Caboose, it's the perfect addition for us. This forum is a great resource for all of us.

A domed observation looks so out of place wedged in the middle of VIA's "Ocean". Taken about a month ago in Jacquet River, New Brunswick

zwbob--

That coaling station scene is wonderful, way to go! Was that a kit you might have talked about earlier? Great use of landscaping material also.

Tim--good looking tank cars, what's going on underneath that bridge? Is that another working level?

jon & chief - Thank you. It is a lionel kit from about 10 years ago, maybe more. The sign I put on the front reads L&E Coal Co. The L&E are my daughters initials. The dump trucks are tootsietoys

Snow on top of them there hills. [:D]

Denver CO


Grain anyone? Coal hopper cars and tank cars on siding.


Here are the cars [maybe some are concrete mix cars as next shot is at big cement plant]


There it is at the concrete pant.


The tank lineup at a fueling depot.


What?

Could it be?


Yes it is.


Lots of storage room for empties.
