Lot of great stuff going on guy's. Yes Yes

I will have some to share next visit....God willin'.

PETER, LOL. That looks much better.

How about a 1:1 pic of my 1969 double wide cabover White Freightliner that I with the help of my close friend restored and redone the motor in 1983. I was leased to Galaxy Transport an Intermodal carrier.

Take Care, All! Big Smile

All work and no play certainly makes for a duller Bear but then it’s also a case of making hay while the sun shines. However Mike L is right, all this Really Good Stuff does raise the spirits. Thank you All.Thumbs Up
Had a bit of a break today, and while Foreman Fred may be happy we’re getting back on course, there’s nothing like a close up shot to see I need a steadier hand and some more magnification.Oops - Sign

 

Cheers, the Bear.Smile

I started work on a 2.5' x 5' micro-layout of the Colorado Midland Railway in N scale:

Terry in TX .... It was made from an old kit I had. It was European, and may have bene PIKO brand. I did not keep the box. ...... It is not powered, and has plastic wheels which do roll, but not very well. .... I call it my "ugly crane, and its supposed purpose is to pick up spilled coke at the coke oven. ... Usually, it is paked at the end of the track where it does not block movemnt of other equipment. ... I think a small power truck such as sold by NWSL could make it go on the track. The crane part with the bucket would be very challenging to power. .... Thanks for asking 

 

Peter ... Thanks for commenting about the steel mill.

Dave!  Good to see your pictures again, but....uh....what happened to the PRR?

I'm protecting the good citizens of Moose Bay by adding some protection at the busier grade crossings.

This is a road that I've suddenly realized has no name.  But, it's at the edge of the layout so I thought it was a good spot for some kit-built Oregon Rail Supply crossbucks with flashers.  I'm driving them with a Rob Paisley circuit board.  I've got the right side approach wired up with phototransistors, but so far it's only daylight.  I'm working on figuring how to mount the infrared LEDs for night operation.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
