I think that Lionel made CNJ heavyweights, i recall them being on a layout in CTT.  My tank engine is Boston and Albany, I cant find any cars for it so Ive been running with a few mail/RPO cars

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?

Don....The Heralds look good. Add a nice touch to Train Room.

 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 !

Just got this baby in the mail, picked up a great deal at Western depot.

 

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.

Zeke, The roundhouse has been in disrepair for a long time. It's been condemned for a couple of years now. The turntable works and is used quite a bit. If thier website comes back up the whole story is on there.

Hello All! Nice Photo's as always. Don B- Nice selection of Lionel MPC in your photo's too!  Laz- I wonder if MTH will come out with some "Bass Boats' in Cabela's Markings for our mutual friend in Roseyville ?  Take Care all.

Great pictures, Guys.  I enjoyed them.

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.

Photo from Norteast Railfan:

Everything works and she runs well. 

Yet another reason to miss K-Line.

 

amazing ....i really like the amtrak stuff.. they will definatly make an apperance on my layout....down the road sometime...very nice...the detail is very cool...

 3. My work table

 

 4. Temprorary Layout

csxt30 - I think that bell bracket on top would be a good clue.  Which fallen flag used to mount their bells in that location....?

[Frank53]

That's a honey of a shot right there:

[csxt30]

csxt30 - that GP9 (or GP10?) appears to be in good shape.  Any idea of its lineage?

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 !

Thanks, John

Frank53 - is that 0-8-0 of raymans a tribute to you...?

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

No time for any layout progress this week:

[csxt30]

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 !!

Thanks, John

[csxt30]

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]

 

How Hard is it to catch the Joker ?

 

[raymans]
