Does anyone know if their is a model kit available of the Grafton Ohio tower? I am trying to Model Grafton Ohio on my HO layout.
Hello yep Mike that is the yard if you look back at page 3 you will see the same yard. I took a pic of it in Sept 09 and it almost looks like same cars setting there just with snow. I drive past this yard on my way to work and see some movement but not like it used to be. Have a nice day Frank

0-6-0 Hello this is a cool thread so I thought I would add a snow shot for those of you you model snow. This is the NS yard in Twinsburg Ohio there is about 4-5'' of snow down. Have a nice day Frank

leighant I have now completed, as I posted earlier, donation of about 1250 photos to the Texas A&M University Corpus Christi library archives, including photos I took over the last 45 years of railroads, local scenes, news events, TV station operations, old houses, buildings, and motion picture production in Corpus Christi and surrounding South Texas towns. The university has just put on line a sample of about 100 of the photos and a searchable finding guide to all 1250. I am a bit proud of it and want to show off. (I will claim I am just "sharing.") http://rattler.tamucc.edu/dept/special/Anthony.html
That was very kind of you to do that...

Pictured is a Winchester & Western (short line) Locomotive crossing U.S. 50 West of Winchester, VA. The The W & W was nick named the Weak and Weary due to it's slow speed and wobbly tracks. It is now owned by the Unimin Corp and hauls sand from the Unimin mine in Gore Va. It also shifts cars for CSX.
The W & W is no longer the weak and weary.
Happy Railroading

Some older vintage shots...
I am in the process of doing sort of the OPPOSITE of this thread. I have built up a personal library of photos of interesting places to model. Now I am sorting the two-thousand or so of local and regional interest as a historical photo collection I am donating to a major university archive. But I am scanning the ones I have any distant expectation of using myself, or wanting to share. Many I have already uploaded on my railimages account.
I located a place out-of-state to send these... Cammie G.Henry Research Center. Northwestern State University, Watson Memorial Library · Natchitoches, LA
“This picture taken by Joe Uhrbah, the undersigned May 27, 1949, at Natchitoches Louisiana. Camera located 50 feet east (struck through out in a different color ink) west (struck through) west of Pavie Street crossing and Texas and Pacific tracks, facing east west. Joe Uhrbach.”
(I can't recall who makes the kit of the little commercial building at right-- or is it a kit at all? The house at the left side of the street is obviously a kit but has been disguised with asphalt shingles printed in a brick pattern over the scribed sheetwood...)
“This picture taken by Joe Uhrbah, the undersigned May 27, 1949, at Natchitoches Louisiana. Camera located 375 feet north of Pavie Stret crossing of Texas and Pacific tracks, and looking south. Joe Uhrbach.”

I would guess these were taken for possible use as exhibits in a court case, but there are no markings to indicate they were actually used as such.
This is part of my local collection- the Port of Corpus Christi Tule Lake vertical lift bridge for highway and rail traffic, opened circa 1959, photographed by me July 1970, demolished
Tracks at the port barricaded to protect against storm surge in Hurricane Allen, August 1980. (I call this my watergate picture...)
Most of the photos on my railimages account however are not local historic places, but ones that I have actually used in my modeling, such as this house belonging to a custe cousin that already has made its way into a model of sorts
...if a dollhouse can be considered a model...
Boy, do I love Victorian-style homes! Thanks for posting these, Frank. As soon as I saw them I knew exactly where they were located; just down the road from Sedlak's.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Hello I thought it was time to bring this thread back up front. Here are a couple house's. These are in Twinsburg Ohio the blue one is on RT 14 just off the square and the gray one is on the square.
Oh, MAN !!! That's a 3 dimensional History book you've come up with ! Is that covered hopper permanently grounded (track/trucks gone)? LOVE the sign on the ditcher. These machines would be great subjects for SS Ltd, Alloy Forms or Woodland Scenics in Horribly Over sized or Normal scale...or scratch projects in a scale one can SEE (O,G,F). Keep up the inspiration, Thanks ! Bob C.

Hello StFCRR that's a good shot of that mine head. You can post photos of anything you think looks cool and from anywhere not just the U.S. There are folks from all over lets see what's around you. Here is the old Railway's of America building it's in Cuyahoga falls Ohio it was in MRR in August 1974 pg 28-32.
tstageStFCRR, That would be great! Tom
StFCRR,
That would be great!
Here's goes nothing, Tom...it's just an old abandoned mine head left over from the old days, you gotta start somewhere!...if you'd like some of the mine tailings, I could send you some. I hope this picture thing actually works.
Would anybody be interested in some pictures of Colorado mining structures and the like? I confess I don't know how to post pictures yet, but maybe this would be a good incentive for me to learn how!!
