Wayne .. That's a great scene.

You requested .... 

 

 

The velocipede is decades earlier than my era, but I like it. 

 

Please show one or more railroad shop buildings.

I think time has WAY passed.  Timetable time expires after 12 hours or whatever.  So here is a pile of JUNK on my diorama.

In the spirit of Halloween, show me something on your layout that has been bewitched.

Not bewitched,  how about a little fog?

Show me your favorite switcher.

Favorite switcher would be 0-6-0 #135, shown here out at the end of the yard lead with a string of cars.

OK, show me your yard lead.

OK Ken your time is up.

Here's a reply to Ray's request for a yard throat such as it is.

My "yard" is freel lanced and is still underconstruction.

There will be atleast three more turnouts all Pecos with switch motors.

In addition to an engine servicing facility there will be a coaling tower, sand, oil and water.

 

 

 

 

 Now show me another yard throat for Ray or over grown rails for Ken

Tom,

Please tell me more about your Rio Grande 4-8-4. That is beautiful. Who makes it, and does it have DCC/Sound?

Motley:

She's a Key brass import, I got her used through Caboose Hobbies.  She's strictly DC, no sound, as is the rest of my layout.    Very smooth runner, GREATpassenger hauler.  She would probably convert to DCC pretty easily, as the motor is already isolated from the frame.    She's taken a 24" radius on a friend's layout, but the all-weather cab overhang is terrific, LOL! 

I think she's a beauty, too-- one of my favorite locos.

Here's another shot of her hauling my 1950 "Royal Gorge".

And now back to the non-USRA 4-8-2

No subway - just some stored stuff, the same as is under most of the layout:

 

Show me a turntable with something other than a locomotive on it.

Same question...anyone else?

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Looks like time's up on "get started" so I'll rewind the clock to yesterday's request for diesels fueling... 

Show me a scene on your layout that's a Crowd Pleaser...

Only a few more hours to go until we arrive at November. The new place for your fantastic pictures has already been opened, so this one will be locked now.

Thanks for your great contributions!
