This bridge is massive. I forgot where it's at.

 

I went to RailImages and did a search on the Photographer's name (Stu Levene), then scrolled thru the thumbnails of his 264 images until I saw the one you posted. Here is the link to that page, with all the info - including location:

It's kind of ironic you posted one. I just got my three, I've been waiting for from eBay in the mail today.  NICE!  Mine are only rated for a quarter million pounds.

I was amazed these cars are diecast metal and not plastic. Leave it to MicroTrains.

Here's a Scale Structures Limited boilerhouse, built a few years ago.  Just looking over some older photos.

After 47 years, my father just sat up in his grave and said "It's before at" as in:

I forgot where it is.

Don't worry, the lesson never took on me either.  It is spooky to hear from the old man after all this time.  Must be the Haloween season.

Norfolk-Southern #7574 as it passes the Olive Street crossing in Elyria, Ohio with a mixed freight. When moving at track speed, these big diesels actually shake the ground as they pass.

Weekday picture pages OCT 22 through OCT 26 2018
Posted by Little Timmy on Monday, October 22, 2018 8:11 PM

Weekday picture pages is simple. It runs Monday through Friday. The rules are also simple.

Rules

1) Any Forum member can post anything they want that has to do with a model railroad or a prototypical railroad.

2) This is a relaxed thread. There is no wait for your turn. Anyone can post anytime they want. If a forum member wants to post a picture of a factory or industry or some other image they think would be good on a model railroad, they can do that with a description of what they're thinking of.

3) A forum member does not have to post a picture. They can comment on anything or say anything relating to this thread or something to do with model railroading, prototypical railroads or another members post.

4) if a forum member knows another forum member. He can talk a little smack. (within reason) just so it doesn't get too carried away.

This Thread will be a good filler. Just post your railroad image or comment on a weekday and we will have more to look at or read about.

Hope this is ok.... I have never opened a "Popular" user thread before.

Quick question for you guy's . 

This is a Cardstock freight car. I cut it out of a NMRA bulliten sometime in 1974 or 75.

Doe's ANYBODY remember these ?

Does ANYBODY have one that they built ?

OR: Doe's ANYBODY have any picture's of the other one's that the Bulliten printed ?

( I would L O V E  to see them ! )

Rust...... It's a good thing !
