Hi Luther,

Who made the mainline signal?  I received a Lionel 'Mainline' mainline/branch signal for Chistmas, and both lights change either green or red.  I like the like the Lionel signal, but will rewire to accommodate the main line and branch signalling.

Inspection of the newly completed track of the NS Roseyville Div by the big wheels riding in NW passenger cars. [you will notice Lionels smoke too with a little work on the units]

Coming out of the tunnel

Going into the other tunnel.

Engine making first test run on both loops.

Now the coal and grain rolls and business is going strong.

Post Wars seem to past all the time going in opposite driections.

Now to build some storage to get the clutter of engiens off of the benchwork.

I picked up four items for almost nothing, with a little elbow grease and a trip to my Lionel parts guy, I was able to get them working and on the layout, they are the rotating beacon, crossing gate w/flashers, the crossing signal with lights, and the RR crossing sign.....Sorry for the photo mistakes, I'm still learning.....tom

I'm glad the fun in starting early today. 

Great pictures of the kids!  My 2-year old loves flashlights too!  Looks like your into trains AND hot rods!  Another great past time for kids!

Frank...Speachless..layout looks great!  I wouldn't worry about your sister's approval, unless you tell her she can't run the trains until the landscaping is done.  You did build this to run two trains at once...right? Wink [;)]
