Good Sue, Good Girl
Happy Mothers Day
yes...HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
How Hard is it to catch the Joker ?
I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR. OTTS Founder www.spankybird.shutterfly.com
Great pictures everyone !! Hope all the Moms have a nice Mothers Day too !!
Here's an engine that came into our yard the other day on the way to The Newburgh & Southshore RR, somewhere west of Cleveland.
Here's the other side !
Thanks, John
Spankybird : it must be pretty hard to catch "That Joker" !! I looked up a minute ago & there went by Batman highrailing it with a whole bunch of crime fighting materials !!
No time for any layout progress this week:
Frank53 - is that 0-8-0 of raymans a tribute to you...?
csxt30 - that GP9 (or GP10?) appears to be in good shape. Any idea of its lineage?
SPANK - if they can get the JOKER to turn into that MCDONALDS drive-thru line, they'll nab him for sure!
Connolly - NICE WORK...and

Fife : no I really don't know the lineage of that Geep, other than it was sold to that Newburgh & Southshore RR . It got set out at our shop for a bad wheel but then we Ok'd it to go. It is in real good shape though !
That's a honey of a shot right there:
I went to the old B&O roundhouse in Cleveland yesterday. Here are a couple of pics I took. They are having a public open house today and next Saturday from 1 to 5.

3. My work table
4. Temprorary Layout
5. Ready for Mom's Brunch

wow great pics everyone...wonderful layouts...the detail is wonderful...
had a quetion about this one...the caboose is very nice.. lovely red...
what happened to the round house
Amtrak F40PH diesel by K-Line.
Pulling out from Jasper's Rock
The guys working trackside have quite a view:
Really nicely detailed with working ditch lights & strobes.
I always liked these. At least there was some sort of effort at the old "cab unit" look. With 3000 hp under the hood and a top speed of over 100mph they were quite capable locomotives. A single unit F40PH handling an average train by itself was a common sight.

Everything works and she runs well.
Yet another reason to miss K-Line.

Nice engine Alex, I picked one up from Eastern Depot at York in CNJ livery. Been looking for some CNJ coaches, but no luck yet. CNJ used them as commuter power.

Hah! When I read dbaker48's post, I scrolled through the pics and put the captions with the pic above it instead of below. I thought "Chris's Libation Station" was actually "My work table".
As for the signage, it is a little busy for me. Have you tried getting the larger RR signs (8-9 inches) and putting one between each set of brackets on the wall?
[ sign [ sign [ sign [ sign [ etc.

Really appreciate the input guys, "bazonkers", that was my concern exactly! I looked at it yesterday pm and thought exactly the same thing a single larger image between the brackets. Then thought maybe alternate between the heralds and larger image. I've seen some pretty good black and white images of steam enginesthat might be just the thing. So more experimenting.
Thanks again Chuck, and bazonkers !
