CBT, one of the showme rules is you have to post a picture of a model, not a link. They have not posted the rules recently, so you probably did not know that. In Photobucket, copy and paste the IMG link to show your photos

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

Ok sorry. It was the first time I posted in one so I did not know.

I painted the floor and weathered it. I also decided to put those old stickers I hade kept for no reason. (I thought I would never use them!) Oh, and i forgot, took some of the windows out as if they were open.

 

Show me an Ann Arbour or a Detroit Toledo And Ironton.

Thanks, John

I spent a day taking movies back in 1974 in front of "Shell" tower near New Rochelle, NY. What a busy place! 

Your scene brings back fond memories!

John, could we see a photo of your sharp looking New Haven signal tower peeking out of the left corner in your photo? Is that the Crow River model?

Thanks, Ed

 

 

Ed, thanks for your interest. Yes, it's the Crow River kit.

An Amtrak train running "on-time"... now that would be a fantasy!

The Amtrak Chaloosa was a short-lived state funded train on my layout. It normally ran in the very early morning hours, but was frequently late, so the photographer caught it here in the daylight. It was canceled when the state DOT discovered nobody wanted to ride it at 2:15 AM:

Show me a freight train.
