Hmmm....7 hours and still no light rail?   Tell you what, here's a commuter train that looks like it could be "transit"...sort of

Lets see a passenger train

I wish you could see the cars in this shot of my Southern Rwy E6 but I'll have to reshoot it one day.

Show me community type recreation area.

Here are sound equipped BLI Blue Line E7's. (I'm late for the prior request where I could have showed my county park) 

Please show a steam powered passenger train.

Here's an under-construction shot of my new layout with some B&O color-position light signals right after I installed them. 

Let's see some more unfinished projects...?

Mischief Wonder where you got all that 22 ga wire Ken?Hmm LOL!

Started this the other night, kit off ebay that I got with a box lot of stuff. Got this far before I realized the tubes from the boiler to the steam chests had been cut short, likewise the frame under the cab had been cut short( no place to attach the tender). This sometimes happens when you try to build a previously opened kit (with no directions). Back to ebay to find the needed parts!Confused

Show me another unfinished project! ( we all got em!)

Yes, I have a number of Revel kits either on the layout or on the shelf awaiting a suitable place on the layout. I have had them for over 45 years from my first layout; they need a bit of restoration before they are installed but are still good.

The request is: yet another yard or a Revel Kit

I'll jump back a couple requests and since Michael showed his heritage MTH, I'll show my Athearn.  I'm jealous that Michael's ditch lights work correctly.

Howabout a Mantua/Tyco engine?

Well that's what it used to be. It's had a long list of modifications, but it's still a C430!

Show me an Intermoutain engine!
