On the Boothbay Railway Village layout, as guests walk by the fishing village, a sound effect of water, bell bouy and birds plays. Turned on by a motion detctor, and off by a timer

What!  No fog horn.  My wife is from the south coast of MA, misses the fog horn during a snow storm.

Have fun,

Richard

Wilton,

Thanks for the compliment, but I'll have to confess that it is one of my eBay purchases that I doctored up.

We're still looking for something from the US Gulf Coast.

Wow Chad! ... That's dramatic!

Connecting the Great Lakes region with the West: CB&Q. NP. and GN. Great Lakes Region includes Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. CB&Q operated in all 3 of those states. NP and GN operated in Minnesota. 

Please show something to, from, or in New England (or at least the northeastern region of USA. )

And she's riding a railway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the roundhouse is closed
With a word she cant get what she came for.

Rich, to continue da thought;

Forty days you been tried and tempted
 
Forty nights you been out in the cold
 
Every phone line conversation's intercepted
 
You can't reconnect 'cause the frequency is closed
 
So many winds you been out of direction
 
So many signs you ain't got nowhere to go, yeah
 
You're Cadillac has got it's headlights disconnected
 
You're rollin' your wheels down the wrong side of the road
 


Lets go back to Church,   Yeah...

Letssss go baaaack to Churrrrrch .....

 

 

The Church, of the Presley-taraian, .....of  Elvis the Devine....

So... be said, we wain...

Lets go back to Church!!!

I've been working on a "House Road" caboose. I finally got the shell primed and painted, but the finish coat has a little 'orange peel' effect. Probably from the 90+ temperature outside when I painted it.

Show me another caboose.

Remember its your railroad
