I forgot about putting this photo up.  Might be a good coversation starter.  This is actually a sign on the Finger lakes Railway near Auburn, NY.  According to one of the employees of the FGLK, it appeared in Trains Magazine not long ago.  Does make you stop and think, doesn't it?

Ray, the sign is neat, especially since every model railroader can use it just about anywhere on his or her layout.  Check out that grass behind the sign; it looks just like fake fur.

I would love to see more of Al Churella's layout. I live in Farmington Me which is the start/home of the Sandy River and Rangely Lakes and I can only imagine what this railroad was like.

Is that your paint scheme or did you cut a nose off of something and reattach it to that body?  Is it in the finished state?  Looking at the pic your left numberboard is crooked, the hole for the bottom light is out of round a little, and no front coupler or do you not run with a front coupler.
