As post war as it gets -  string of Sunoco tank cars, a tuscan caboose and a 681 at the helm.

Finished ballasting the reversing loop and figured the placement. The red push pins are the outline of the welding/fabricating business I am going to build on this site:

Between the crane and the building, I am going to build a large dock in the jogged out area where materials can be offloaded to the dock or large vessels can be loaded onto a flat car:

Dave C - handsome layout and equipment you have there.

Laz57 - is that you crowding the plate there?  Ahhhh, springtime in Cleveland...where hopes are anew...until mid-May....

Lisa - better introduce some carp to the pond, looking pretty murky...or is the boat kinda dragging bottom...?

Morning y'all from a sunny and warm NC where Tobacco Road dominates the ACC!!! (GO PACK)

Here's a few shots from my original layout, which is still evolving....

The Hobos are still firmly entrenched in an old abandoned Pennsy boxcar......

 The horses are safe in the pasture...

Cousin George, arriving for a visit, sees the cows are loose and hears the east bound steamer...

 

And not only are the cows loose -  Dang them chickens....

 Meanwhile, The Chief and GranPa John are catching dinner...

And all is peaceful as evening approaches the House on the Hill

Laz. That backstop reminds me of the one we had as kids on the field we played at. The only difference is we had a tree behind pitchers mound.

built to haul machine parts. Made from galvanized steel; truck frames filed flat and epoxied. O gauge; code 148 rail; 7/8n18; guess it's still a toy train since it's a toy and it's a train; anyway, it's using Lionel trucks

 

 

 

 



here's my Plymouth, but unlike the machine car, running on 32mm track, she is a 7/8n2 on 45mm track; carved her from wood and hood and cab roof is thick gauge steel; shades are from my blue jeans; runs on 4 AAs
