Laz - I love your lumber yard!  I recognize the 787 accessory.  I don't think I've seen the other buildings or crane before???  Did you build these?  Are they operative?

Take care of cattle

Jim,

Like your stockyard, I think that is the first one I have seen posted, other than my own.

Laz, nice to see some pics of your layout.  Where did you get the barrels on pallets?  York?  Did you buy them like that or put the barrels on the pallets yourself?

 

[laz 57]

JELECTRIC, JOHN, got them 10 for a buck at The Train Station in New Cumberland.  Got the pallets from SANTANAS at YORK.  Hot glued the barrels to the pallets.

Thanks,

JIM, correct on the787, works great the crane is from the Lionel construction set.  A guy here was selling em for a buck so what the hey.  All the other buildings are scratch built.

Thanks,

"Uh-oh, there's a bit of commotion on Main Street today. Once again the peacefulness of a quiet Sunday morning has been shattered by a careless driver. "But Officer, I just TAPPED his bumper."

Those are the same people I have seen getting into trouble on other layouts. Now they are over on your layout causing trouble. They sure get around.

Love the scene and your layout. Nice work.

Most of them you can pick up at www.diecastdirect.com  or www.3000toys.com

But do note that they cost a bit more than $5.00 each.

[Buckeye Riveter]

Nice job guys and gals! Daan nice video and good music, too.  It amazes me to see your collection from the U.S.   

Great photos of so many different things. 

As I was posting I noticed that there had been over 500 views of Sunday Photo Fun since it started this morning.  WOW!!!! I am truly humbled. 

[tmcc man]

John,

Thanks, it is one of my grandson's favorite accesory.  It works real well, even loading the cars!

Jim

[tmcc man]

Alex,

Thank you for posting those. I like the design of your old layout too.

[Anonymous]

one more kick at it.  This was my weathering practice guinea pig.  A new load of iron slag helped detail it up a bit too.

Bruce, nice job. It looks great.

 Wow!   I feel that Sunday Photo Fun hit an all time high with all of these nice layouts. I think the CTT Gang should pay a visit to some of these layouts here. Alex- I like your layout as it is very detailed & nice with enough action & your photo's of the K-Line Pacific's are sharp. Jim- I like your American Flyer Silver Bullet Engine. Looks almost like new or in mint condition there. Frank53- Nice photo's of your layout- Hope no #60s were hurt in the process. Take Care all.

NICE PICS GUYS KEEP THEM COMING AS I'M LIVING THROUGH YOU GUYS FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. SORRY ONLY A FEW LINES AS I HAVE TO GO AND STUDY FOR THE TEST AND DRIVING A TRUCK. I MISS MY TRAINS AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK HOME AND DO A LITTLE WORK ON THE LAYOUT. AGAIN NICE WORK AND KEEP THEM COMING.

[zwbob]

Nice pics everyone. I'm a little late this Sunday.

Seen here is the only ballasted section of the layout.  Pennsy is delivering a dusty load of new Corvairs.  The new Lionel, CP flatcar will definitely need something to carry in the near future, thanks to John's inspiration.  K-Line's Torpedo rounds the bend after coming off Lazyboy bridge and heading towards Chesterfield with a string of 5 FOM cars.

Nothing is cheap when you put "Model Railroad" on it.   I have tried Motormint, but they have very bad customer service and I have been waiting for more than 4 months for some items.  I do like the Brooklyn cars, but at $95 each, it gets real pricey.

Everyone did a wonderful job on the photo fun this week.  I am especially glad to see another lady join the ranks as it makes it more acceptible for our wives to join the fun.  I have already told my bride that we have a few ladies and she has shown a good bit of interest in the trains too.  This could be a bad thing as she could outspend me on the trains.....NAH.

Thanks Tom and all the posters.

Bruce, looks really good. I am guessing the covered PRR hopper behind the Torpedo is a Weaver.

BRUCE, nice pics.  Where did you get the CORVAIRS?  I've been looking for them for a while now.  Please do tell?

Colin,

  The covered hopper is by Lionel.  It came in a 4 car Pennsy pack which also included a flatcar with 2 piggyback trailers, a refer and the usual N5 cabin.  Can't remember the number of this set or when they were produced and unfortunately the box is packed away in the attic.

Laz, I believe I saw some Corvairs at 3000Toys.com, and they also had just received some new Batmobile sets.

[Anonymous]

Laz,

  Those are old Corgi '60 Corvair sedans from their early '60's production.  Just your everyday used fleamarket finds although I see they're usually asking $30-$40 these days.  A tad small for O scale....probably better suited in size with traditional Lionel stuff.
