Another tunnel scene, please.

Getting down to the final moments of March...

Here is a passenger train disappearing into a tunnel:

Show me another tunnel portal please.

Show me something else going into (or coming out of) a tunnel.

Down to the wire!

A pair of "BeeLiners" emerge from a tunnel.

More electrics, please?

The only picture I could find of anything electric was this little trollley running on the N scale N-Trak layout belonging to Scale Rails of Southest Florida.

Show me something else going into (or coming out of) a tunnel.

My latest acquisition, for use with my SD40-2's

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Garry: "Please show another caboose."

This little Pennsylvania N-5 Caboose is a Bowser kit that went together without a hitch. I put a few pieces of .010-inch clear styrene on the interior of the window openings to simulate glass and installed Kadee couplers. Lighting someday.

More cabooses (Cabeese), please.

Remember its your railroad

Another background building or flat, please.

Garry, I think your way of dealing with the outside corner was well handled with that wrap-around bakery. Very nice.

This scene is on the Orlando N-Trak groups portable layout:

Show me some wildlife or non-domesticated animals.

I was really excited about this "Fireball Express" decal I found in a 1/25 scale car kit decal set.

Unfortunately the yellow "Fireball Express" lettering is on a white background. I could not tell this when it was on the white decal carrier paper.

NEVER print yellow lettering on a white background. Come on people, that is heraldry 101 right there. This mistake is really a shame, because this could have been one awesome looking boxcar.
