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.

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...

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!

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.

The title I received with it was CPR Connaught Tunnel, West Portal, 1970-06-18 feel free to use any if you want they were sent to me and bunch of others
kpolak - Probably a structure to house a ventilation system. Railroads needed these on exceptionally long tunnels. This one may be oil or diesel driven, given the tank car parked at right.

As the fifedog says. It looks like there are two huge blower fans mounted above the tunnel. The tunnel is really long so it would have needed a ventilation system of some sort.
