Coming down the home strecth on this bridge. Just have to make a few adjustments and it will be ready for paint and final install.

Frank....That is a great job on that bridge. And on a curved area of that fabulous Tubular track.

Nice pictures everyone...and have a great weekend.

 

Frank53,

Your bridge work is excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing how you complete it, so please keep posting pictures of your progress. What are you going to do under that bridge...river, lake, dry canyon...no end to what's possible...

 

 

 

 

Here's some fun old shots for the lack of any new shots to post...

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy the hobby Perry

kpolak Thanks I thought that it was nice of the owner too. My 2 little girls thought that it was great to go and pick out a train that they wanted. I cant wait to start adding to the lay out and building some buildings.

Frank53 Great pictures of your mountain scene, what a great looking bridge. Really nice work. Looks like it took you a lot of thought and time.

Spankybird, Great pictures

Buckeye Riveter, nice video of your train coming out of the tunnel.

brwebster, I dont think the grey drivers look that bad. Great pictures of the gas station.

The cliffisde, which reminded me of the route we used to take into Pennsylvania when I was a kid, needed a famous Jersey landmark - like Hot Dog Johnnys. Couldn't find a good enough photo of the sign:

Had to make my own, along with a few other throwbacks:

Great pictures every one. On saturday the 31st of march we went to the hobby shop and bought the polar express starter set. When we paid for it the owner gave us the hot chocolate car. We went back later and bought the elf's hand car. We had a great time with the set after we got home. Have a great Sunday.

I love hearing stories about great service!

Buckeye - I'm a bit concerned over that tankcar not having any hazmat placards on it...

Fife : At least the crew burried it 6 deep from the head end in accordance with FRA rules, if it is haxardous !!  He's in big trouble if it's hazardous & no placards !!  Laugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]

Neat video !!
