You know, this all has me wondering - since there is now a Lion on Broadway, I'm guessing the lamb doesn't lie down there anymore...

Brother LION,Da Chadley, does enjoy your creative talents, your cunning skills at aquiring materials, your inventiveness & craftmanship, & the way you represent your line with the excellent photography.Da Chadly, well Him thinks the LION is really taking planning & the modelling, to his next level!Da LION, -him don't have income to buy supplies, LION has to Create, Scratch, & Barter for Him's Layout..Given that, da Chadley offers true Respect to the LION of tha Dakota's!!! (even in LIONSpeak)!
Great Job Fellow LION!!!!I do respect your talents, & enjoy your posts, please keep them coming, Brother E. !!!
Thanks Chad, all...
Here is a snip from a larger and un remarkable snap shot of a train departing Botanic Garden for Dyckman Street, It was not a good quality photo to begin with, and so I played around with it a bid, and this is what happened...

HOLD ON... We are coming! I'll Save You!
BTW: this is Leopold Leonard von Leopard, III, esq.
In one of the tunnels, perhaps it is 23rd Street, the local takes the curve at speed. Missing are the express tracks, these were installed later. On the back bench work is a 50 conductor cable and a pin board where it can be accessed by devices (switches and signals) in this area. LION uses 25 pair Cat-3 conductors for most of his device wiring distribution from the control console. The cable shown here is a much older cable with 20ga stranded conductors. It was the first cable that I bought after entering the monastery. Previous cables that came with me were 22ga/25 conductor stranded cables, which of course are still in use. Cables do not "wear out" unless of course you are Con Edison. The smaller panel to the right hosts 14ga cables for track power.

Cables do not "wear out" = Rat food??

Rats, gaters, and less than ideal environmental conditions can deteriorate the insulation.
A picture from an older time on my layout. This entire area (NYP) has been torn out and a new 34th Street Subway station built in its place. Besides seeing a subway train and an LIRR commuter train on adjacent tracks would have been a bit unusual.
As a note to those who like to PLAN their railroads, it is only by using the layout as I built it that I discovered how it really should have been built. LION is not opposed to tearing out a whole section of the railroad and starting over if that it what is required.
Now where is Wildebeest?
Well I did previously mention a lamb out on Broadway, but I guess there are no Genesis fans here. LOL.
LION does not have a lamb. Would you settle for a Llama.
A one "L" lama is a priest
A two "L" llama is a beast
and I do not want to meet a three "L" LLLAMA.
The sisters at a near by monastery raise llamas. I put a stuffed doll on the fence post and called it the Llama's Dolly.
Anyway, for (ahem) what ever reason, that LLAMA is no longer on Broadway.
Yes!!... there are fans of The Lamb out here -- just no pictures. It's quite a Cross to bear and I am not Lion!!!

rrinker but I guess there are no Genesis fans here
Gidday Randy, I had picked up your reference but looking at all the tiled floors realised that there were obviously no Carpet Crawlers in The Waiting Room Back in N.Y.C.
Lion I am thoroughly enjoying this thread for its gentle humour, which in no way detracts from your unique layout.
Cheers,the Bear.

Lion,
I still like the,Mini Lion..
BTW,,,,Did anyone catch the news in the Chicago area,,,where the Ghost subway train ran into one sitting in the station?? No one killed,,but about 35 injured...They are still trying to figure out, how it got there,with no operator,without shutting down,out of the three systems,that they have,that are supposed to do that...Runaway Subway train,but outside..
LION knows of the Chicago thing. There are indeed problems with it. Clearly the escapee broke through switches since the revenue train would not have been aligned for the yard. The escapee did NOT roll down hill, it ran up hill at one point. THEY say no one was on the train, but this hardly seems to be possible, although it was very likely that it was operated from a different position on the train: the middle cabs or even the rear cab could have done this. Apparently CTA does have safety overrides for emergency use. These could have been set for yard movements since the pair in question was being prepped for dead movement to Skokie. Details at the other end of the cat.
My trains are run by LPP motorpeeps, and depend upon signals to advance the consist over the railroad. (This train set was being operated "as delivered" and had to be painted on the inside to prevent the car body from glowing the the dark. LION does not really run nuclear powered trains. (yet)
Lion The Gaurd Rails on the edge what are they made from and how are they contsructed? Thanks
Joe Staten Island West
Guard rails. Those are easy. LION makes lots of things from them. Him uses this plastic stuff that the women folk use for stitching or something. I cut them to whatever shape I require. Here is the same material cut into a different sort of fence.
The stupid CTA,did say they are missing some keys,,that are used to run it to begin with,,they sort of brushed over that though,,for they have no idea,who may have them...
BTW,,,,Is that the mini Lion at the second car??Hard to make out with the nuke,powered cars..
The "keys" are not all that secret or secure. The older NYCT equipment had no keys, (The reverser and the cutting tool are called "keys" but they look like wrenches.) you need the reverser and the brake handle.
LION *has* reverser and brake handle.
Newer cars have keys. They look more like a pencil with a wart and a handle, but the LION has this and the Vapor key as well.
ERGO, while you need these keys, they do not secure the train. Locomotives do not have "keys" either, at least not in the sense that your car has keys.
You want secure: Build equipment that requires a bio-metric ID card. Otherwise...
HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!
Yes,I can relate to that,,,but to Joe Public,it is a key,,,like in car,,,Say what??
