Happy Mother's Day!

Please take some time today to be thankful for all of the women who have been mothers in our lives.

 Thanks Jim for starting this thread each week.  Since you are about the only one that posts pictures of American Flyer S  gauge equipment I thought I would give you a little visual treat with some pictures of the Civil War or Washington set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great Sunday

 

Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby

 

Northwood Flyer

Nice aerial shots!  I'm in the middle of doing some spring cleaning of my layout and just started to put her back together.  Here's my aerial shot of where I'm at with it...

The Great Northern heading in to Yakima to pick up passengers

 this is one section that is nearly finished. 

Greg,

Thanks for the eye candy!  Maybe one day I can add one to my stable

I figure there are a half dozen or so folks here who might like the latest phase of motive power expansion on the Lionel Lines. Management has deemed additional diesel power is required and some became available on the used market:

Picked this up for a very low price, and it runs excellent. The shell is perfact and the frame has a small amount of wear. It runs very  very smooth and super quiet, unless you have the power cranked up in netral, in which case the buzz from the e-unit will vibrate the fillings out of your teeth.

It is my first postwar Geep, and it does ride around with some "sway" to it on o31 curves.

Great photos this week!

Frank:  That C&O is in incredible condition!  Nicest I've seen.

Heres some pics sent to me that I thought I would share. Was thinking of starting a new thread just for these but figured its sunday and there trains ( real ones) and there photos so why not

I presently use this one as my screen saver on a couple computors

Here's a picture of Dad's 254E in action on New Years Day this year.

It was his and his four brothers Christmas gift in '29 or '30

Great shots guys.  Frank, enjoy the progress you are making.  I say this with a tad bit of jealousy as my work seems to have stalled lately.

Now, I do notice that both Jim and RT's posts are missing the third rail!  I think you guys need to learn to conform to the rest.....Just kidding.  Both look good.

A visiting Yankee box car.  As for a Yankee box car, this one is a pretty one.  Orange Ann Arbor.  Takes first place in a long MTH NS train.
