dougdagrump, that is a very nice SD35. Great pix everybody, very nice job. I want to start a new layout, but have to start raising funds for wider curves, and other things.

Tim, It is just as smooth as silk and even though it isn't the latest version of RS the sounds are great. I grew up in No. Ky and at one time was a fireman for the B&O so I gravitate towards B&O and any/all of it's various forms in the later years. [^]
After seeing Tim's boaters and swimmers I thought of something that I have never seen on a layout. The folks who base their layouts on the far northern roads, does anybody ever put an "ice-fishing shack" on a frozen lake?[?]

Good morning all,

Could spring be in the air??? Saw some swimmers and boaters on the lake this morning.





Dougsagrump, Are you bucking for a membership in OTTS with that engine ?? Does it run as smooth as the Atlas SW 8/9 ??

Mornin' All !
Great photos as usual.
zwbob, The first thing I thought of when I saw the photo of the steamer coming out of the the shed was the race horses breaking the starting gate.

For my contribution, this is my Atlas SD-35 making it's debut. [^]

Laz : very nice !!
ZW : which water tower do you have ? I just got the # 138, from 1992, has red roof like yours, but from there down on mine seems lighter. Thinking of repainting mine.
SPOUT UP !

Hey Spankybird...

Why don't you have a burning river on your layout? That should heat things up![:D]

Today it is 99.5 FM Country Radio

But you are showing your age, and yes it is a Cleveland Radio Station.

The other one is WELW, AM 1330

Oooh! Oooh! Mr. Kotter! Can I go first?!?!

New York Central power on the point:



LIONEL Pennsylvania "Baby K4s" power. An original on the left pulling a train of factory weathered "Turn of The Century" reefers, and the re-make from last year on the right, up-graded with TAS cruise, pulling this year's PRR Baby Madison cars:



Let's see yours!
