Thanks GIZ for the kudos on the breaker.

PBJWILSON great nite time show. Is that water tower scratch built? I love it!
JTs works the best COUGH<COUGH!

TRAINMASTER, I built the coal breaker from scratch.
Being a wood shop teacher, you sometimes get the hankering to test your skills.
I made it about 6 years ago just playing in the shop a few hours after school.

GUILFORDRR nice layout , video.

Thanks again.

Well one big one and the smaller (5 x 8 foot) circus layout. The next time you are in the Cleveland area, be sure to stop in ! !

A great Sunday Photo Fun today, I see ! Everyone has real nice shots !
Well, here's my new MTH lemonade stand ! I heard tell, they built it next to the Diner to put the Diner out of business ! Well, it didn't work, cause all the Railroaders still keep coming to the Diner, being as how it's close to the tracks & all !![:D][:D]

Laz - The water tower is scratch built but not by me. Believe it or not it came out of the junk bin at a local hobby shop - $8. I like it too. It's made from an old coffee can.

Here are some photos of my new Empire State Express. Lionel has delivered 5 of the 7 cars I ordered. These are SWEET! Great detail outside, inside, and underneath!









Sound Diner - I really enjoy this car. The rail joint sounds are excellent!





A shot of one of the bars in the ESE train. There are TWO bars - my kind of place!

[andregg1]

WOW!!
Nice collection.
I think, that you can turn on the cars and look inside for hours and hours, dreaming about the golden years of Empire state and the thousand miles covered.
Very nice choose....congratulations!!
Andre.

Empire State Express is incredible. WIsh I had the size curves it needs, I would be tempted to step out from the post war era.

Laz - that's waaaay too nice to be MTH. [:D]

[dougdagrump]

Frank, Love that trestle, I would NEVER have the patience to undertake something like that.

[Jumijo]

Roy, Laz, I'd really like to see (many) more photos of your layouts. They both look great! How about it guys? A photo guided tour, please!


Jim

[FJ and G]

Nice photos everyone!

Well, I haven’t yet built my snowplow so the trains were marooned, as icicles formed on the trainshed/warehouse. So went inside and nearly completed my new 50-pound industry. But ran out of corrugation material. Just 12 cokes more to drink!

[cnw1995]

The link works, Roy. Looks v. impressive.

[1688torpedo]

Nice Pictures & Layouts everyone! Laz- That is a very detailed coal breaker you built. Now all you need is a simulated underground mine fire with smoke to make it complete?[;)][:)] Take Care.

[laz 57]

ROY,
Great video just got it to work here at school.
Man that is a great looking video. It looks like a begining of a motion picture?
You definitly get an ATTA BOY for that.

[wrmcclellan]

Thanks Laz! Glad it finally worked!

Jim - that is our local club layout. I posted quite a few photos last year. I will have to look into reloading them on my server. Had to remove a lot of stuff due to posting the video. Unfortunately the club has lost it's space and the layout will be coming down in the next few weeks.

Regards,
Roy
