Remember to use Spanky's constant reminder to click on the picture to enlarge - they look SOOOO much better!

Spanky - lucky thing the police are in the scene in that first picture - he better check on that passed out drunk!!![:D]

If you know North Park in PGH, PA, here's a model I made of Grant Grove in honor of a special person that I met there. Not the lawn area, just the building, the electric, and the outhouse. If you're in that area, it's the grove by the intersection with the cannon. the 2nd grove in.

Nice photos and videos!


CCGRC:

Your steamer looks great!

Is that one of the newer "traditional" sized engines? I'd be happy to add one to my lineup.

Some videos again today. These are very large files (6 to 11 MB!), so you need a high speed connection to download them.

Lionel Empire State Express with all 7 cars. The loco is a great puller as we have a couple of serious grades on the club layout.

A couple of run-bys of the K-Line NYC 4-6-6 Suburban...

And my newest diesel , a Atlas RS-1 with all the bells and whistles , in my favorite home road C&EI [:p]




This loco from Atlas has some great detail.....




[:D][:D] I actually saw these C&EI locos in use , years ago .[:D]
The Alco RS-1 actually sounds like they did , except for all the doors rattleing also...[:0]

Good morning one hour earlier! Here is Lionelville as dusk settled last evening around 7-ish. In the distance is the metropolis of Plasticville:



Springtime is when a boys thoughts turn to running his first train set! Mine was the "Western Gift Pak" from the early 1960's:



Look! Here are some folks showing up to church an hour late this morning:
