Here's "The Broadway" charging out of a tunnel and banging across the Bascule Bridge:



Here's the same area and time from a different angle:



A busy day at the lumber yard: somebody must be building benchwork!!!



A P-Company local behind a K4s waits for the green after filling up on coal and water:



A New York Central train blasts out of the tunnel and down the viaduct, braking all the way into town:

Buckeye,

Man those firefighters better get those barrels away from that burning switch tower! I'm surprised the B. & O. hasn't shut down that part of the line.

Cool pics!

Kindest regards,

Pete

Buckeye, does that GP30 happen to be from the the Lionel Chessie diesel freight set? That is really at the top of my list for a Premium set I want to get. How is the addition going?

I don't know if I already put these on a previous Sunday Photo Fun, but here it goes.

Demon99 - you will have to find another photo host. Yahoo does not like to share photos with the forum. Try Shutterfly.com, its free and works.

Wow, this Sunday Photo Fun gets better and better every week.

Super pictures everyone.

I am in the beginning of doing the scenery for my layout and can only imagine how much time some have spent on their own layouts.

Thanks for sharing.

My new cows a-grazing

Cows, my painted k-line people - the vague greeni***hings at the flag stop - and my attempt to 'cut down' the door in that building.

The track cleaning car - with blocks painted brown - and my catenary cross-bars in place
Zeppelin looking for a landing spot

Working on a simulated tie wall between track heights on the upper level:







now I have to cut some new uprights to get the heights consistent, drill the holes for the aluminum tube (iron guardrail) and then I can start the other side.

Still needs to be painted and weathered and landscaped, but it's further along than it has been.



I have eight more sections to do on the other wall and then this will be a huge hurdle completed.

Laz, since your beer is only $0.05, if I mail you a dollar, will you send me 20 beers?
