Cool photos! I sure wish I had a setup like that.

Is your layout based on the 1950's or 1960's?

Layout is based on The R-17 (which is the only sort of cars I can buy). Every thing else is what it is, certainly the Coney Island train shed is later than that, as are the murals in the Courtland Street Station.

LION not worry about details.

Correct me if' I'm wrong, but the last R17's were withdrawn in the late 80's.

Him got hid good this time. First thought him tail on the floor by light stand, but just scrappish piece of  wire.

Maybe in upper left corner on roof of orange building, by end of yellow building??????

Isn't it dangerous for the Lion to ride down on the front like that?

Odd, I've heard of "raining cats and dogs", but never "snowing lions"!

If you mean the yellow thing from last wednesday, it is a snow melter. It uses a small jet engine, same idea as the NASCAR jet dryers for wet race tracks
