Also just saw some historical pics of the old Seaboard "Silver Comet" making a station stop at Emory. I have been living in ATL for 15 years now and never realized that was an active passenger depot at one time. Jamie

Jamie...I've been here over 30 years, and going to Emory for over 2 years, and I just found it by accident day before yesterday! Glad you got out of the rain. Got a link to the video?
I found this link today while researching the Emory Station. It lists many depots still standing here in Georgia by county. I just found out there is one less than 5 minutes from my house!

I did not get any video from the station that was good enough to keep. However, here are a couple of videos from the overpass there a couple of months ago:

Should have posted these on the WPF thread for May 23-24-25
Back on topic, I am doing some n-scale mockups of Atlanta depots (Lawrenceville and Tucker) to see how buildings will fit on my layout. No pics yet, maybe next weekend.

Grampy -> sharp looking layout, especially like the backdrop. Is that a commercial one or did you make it yourself?
Steemtrayn-> That is Mayfield yard of the O&W, or it was. I believe those cars are gone now as new road went through there. There were some real beauties in there.

We decided to re-model the yard's eastern end on the club layout, and install a small locomotive facility - here's what it looked like this afternoon:
The keen-eyed will note my patent method to semi-fix buildings to the ground and/or backscene, inside the locomotive shed in the middle picture. Yes - I use Lego; with the top brick (white) stuck to the side of the building, and the lower brick (blue) stuck to the concrete. They remain very stable, with no wobble, but can be easily removed - the loco shed straddles two baseboards on a portable layout. The Lego will be disguised soon.

When i previewed this post thumbnail enlarged now it won't, what went wrong?
Just some silly stuff this weekend. We had a post about 'pets on the layout', so here's a couple.
My best buddy Don and his Great Dane 'Fido' (spelled P-h-y-d-e-a-u-x), who can never pass up the single fire hydrant in Sierra City.
Meanwhile, me and my cat Lowell up at Bassetts sitting on a pile of ties waiting for a train to watch: Don took this after we hit the saloon in Sierra City, so it's a little out of focus (so were we, LOL!)

FINALLY! some benchwork. I am going to be adding another 5ft on it next weekend.
What would you do to hide the plug-in I cant put a building on it because that is going to be a bridge right there. I was thinking of making a sandbar and put some large trees on the sandbar to hide it. Any other ideas
Here is a new fruit growers express CB&Q reefer

Nice work on the benchwork. As to the wall-plug, you could hide it with a scenic backdrop if you don't plan on using it. If you do plan on using it, just extend the backdrop out the width of the plug. It should work.
Nice work! I like your Burlington reefer--those BREX reefers always looked good!

I did the same thing with a light switch that I never use. Just put the backdrop right over it.

Here is a visiting Reefer getting spotted at the mine complex, delivering some perishable supplies. The mine crew must be getting some better fare for a change?
Thanks for the comments. I know I have been talking about starting it for quite some time but finally got every together and have an idea that will work with that space I have.

Hi Tj,
tell your grandpa this is a UNITED model imported by Pacific Fast Mail probably in the 1970s - unless it is the extremely rare last run from 1989, but this was painted.
I have one of these myself. These C&O K-4 Berks have been imported by several Companies and built by different builders, and I have seen them all. The detail of the later Korean built K-4s is better, but I would clearly prefer that PFM/ UNITED piece because nothing can compare to the solidity and impressive craftsmanship of the JAPANESE built models. Lokking to these you actually can see that our Japanese friends were really PROUD to build high quality models! And this K-4 is a fine piece which always was highly regarded within the brass community.

Cold chisels?
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!
