November Already! Time to set your clocks back Saturday night. More nighttime hours to be working on your layout or modeling projects...
Last October request was for something SCARY! How scared is the crew in that Pennsy E-7 when they see the future... and the future is AMTRAK!
Old Meets New!
Amtrak's GE P-42 40th Anniversary engines overtake a venerable old P-Company EP-20 struggling up the 1% grade into the big city.
A quick reminder, post photos of whatever the previous request was.
In an effort to keep the thread moving, if it has been 24 hours anyone can post a new photo or request.
Show me another "Old meets New" scene...

Old meets new: Here is one from the BRVRR archives.
A NYC passenger train lead by an ABA set of ALCO's passes a Husdon powered local at the east end of the BRVRR layout in 2011.

Show me something on your layout you wish you'd done differently.
Shown here is Horseshoe Courve on my layout. To the right you'll see a piece of wood supporting the tracks. The is a raised 2'x4' rectangle nneded to accomodate a small "smurf door" leading into the attic area. I was I hadn't made it a rectangle and instead cut the corner that juts into the middle of the curve at a 45-degree angle.
Show me some railfans on your layout.
TO GP-9_Man: "Show me railfans on your layout" I couldn't help my sarcastic response but - does a picture count if it is a bunch of friends (railfans) standing on your new 1x4 benchwork for a stress test? Or does it have to be models? j/k

A few railfans hanging out near the Route 32 overpass on the BRVRR layout.
