Have you ever seen palace cars running cab-car forward???

I wonder if I can make a three car set of those for my subway.... MU them together slap some motors in them. Call it the museum train. Name it the "August Belmont" That should do I think. I'll have to try it, as I still have a spare storm door and a roof headlamp.

Show me something yellow

Time's Up on the Christms Train with Packages and Sandy Claws. And here's why: The track has been closed. Looks like a permanent change to the layout. I am told that the interlocking lever to these switches has been assigned to a different location, but MOW did not want to bother to uninstall the switches. I guess in the event of a major GO, they can lift that bar and spike the switches to a temporary alignment.

 

Show me some modeled  construction on your railroad.

I guess there isn't that many Christmas themed layouts (or at least photos of them) out there.

 

How about an automotive  junkyard?

Show me a picture that have not been posted before

Digging into the archives, here's a shot from my first Christmas tree layout several years ago.

'Tis the season for more Christmas themed layouts, let's see them.

 

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!

I use this ath BB loco as my 'Demonstrator of Detailing' to make it more authentic to the prototype. I leave this one as pictured to show folks what some of the things I add to detail locomotives.

Sorry if anyone dislikes my additional post, so I will honor the request once more..

Please show a locomotive with details added for realism.
