Sadly, the photographer never made it off the tracks after this shot. Apparently, his boot got stuck under the third rail as the train barreled towards him. This photograph was found one hundred years later, still blowing in the wind.

Enjoy the hobby Perry

Nice pics guys,

I see Roy made it to Ohio.

Not much new to show so a couple of pictures of the new K-Line reefer with the hanging hogs.

The last picture is of the roof lifted off of the reefer to show how they are attached.

Don't think they ever actually loaded them this way as they would have taken a real beating going down the tracks, but it makes for an interesting load.

Chief,

Perhaps you can get Tom some grit scented smoke for the locomotive

Tom,

Big Bird seems happy to have guests over.

Jon,

Nice photos, lighting, nicely done lumberyard as well.

I'm busy trying to clean the tool area as I cannot locate stuff so I'll just put 2 photos up.

BB is ready to chase some rabbits. We just returned from chasing one around the block and awaking all the neighbors so they can get ready for church.

Trying some new lighting ideas with the camera, some success.

This is an overview of the west room taken from the steps that lead upstairs.


You can see the trolley on an independent loop while the Aero train makes it's way to the station.


At the station picking up passengers.


I really enjoyed building this part of the layout; log dump, log loader, saw mill, lumber office and lumber yard, lots of action.


Close up of lumber storage.


Overview of the east end of the narrow room, this is a favorite with the fall colors--my wife made every one of the trees and did a great job painting them.


The ice loader and barrel loader are great fun for kids of all ages.


And lastly, the brewery area.

So many roads, so little time.

Better get the OSP to come scan your room.  Bet there are bits of REBS grits hidden there. Wink [;)]
