I likes the weeklong photo fun... so long as we don't forget the troll-a-way while we're at it...

I'm with tstage.  It's Wednesday and the thread is still going. 

Why not start a new thread.   Maybe something like...I don't know...Weekday Photo Fun!  Wouldn't that be more appropriate?

Anyway, great pictures eveyone!

There used to be a weekday photo fun thread, but people kept posting in the weekend thread, so the weekday thread was eventually dropped. Some other forums I'm on have done the same and just kept the weekend thread going all week.

Oh, I don't mind, Dan.  Unfortunately, because I only have dial-up at home, the only reasonable way of viewing WPF is at work with our T-1 connection.  It just takes waaaaaay too long to load and view it at home. Dead [xx(]

I'm glad I have cable. I had dial-up for a month. It didn't take me long to see that that wasn't going to work out.

If it is, how deep is the pit?

Sorry Hoople, it is an Atlas turntable and it is part of my current restoration and renovation project.

The Atlas turntable and the Suydam roundhouse are both over 30+ years old, my dad built them when we were running an HO layout in the back shed in the 1970's.

I have done my best to preserve both of them over the years and I hope to not only restore both of them, but update the models as best I can.

Yeah, wow Jeff.  Nice clear and crisp photo Thumbs Up [tup]

Is that a Proto 2000 FA (opening side door makes me think P2K)?  Nice looking and beautiful paint job.  Shows well close up.
