Look, a real live caboose.
I am sure it is used as a switching platform as it appears it has not left the year since at least 2003
No photos this week, but I have a video. The layout is still under construction, which is why the parking lot is unpaved and the track is unballasted. There is no backdrop because my parents aren't thrilled with the idea of one, so there probably never will be one, so please excuse the windows and yellow walls. Also, please excuse the lack of decals on the loco and cars. I need to custom order those when I have the money. The GP50-3 is an Athearn Blue Box (sans handrails, because they need paint and the loco needs decals) and all the rolling stock is various Walthers cars.
Anyways, here's Tri State Rail local BY1-20, out of Byram Yard, switching industries along the Lackawanna Cutoff. GP50-3 4300 is on yesterday's train, switching cars at Magic Pan Bakeries and Kuiken Brothers Lumber, before heading West to pick up cars from the far end of the line.

Nothing special to post here, yet, just the humble beginnings of a N scale modular layout, consisting of mini-modules similar to the T-Trak modular system.
It´ll grow - that´s a promise!
Didn't we just have Earth Day? In that case, I'm into recycling. No new photos to complement the nice ones that have been posted so far, so this one will have to do.

Below is a GN tractor-trailer. The 1948 Ford COE is a resin kit I assembled and painted this week. The trailer is an old metal Ulrich kit Iassembled and painted a few month ago.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
MAbruce Happy Easter (and Good Friday) to everyone. I guess the weather has been getting warmer for us in the Northern climate, as WPF seems to be getting a later start these days. Here's a shot of a local crossing the pond trestle. Backdrop was photo-shopped in. Scale is N.
