A great lot of really Good Stuff ffolkes, goes down well with my Sunday morning coffee, thank you.

and I bought this cheap, don't know what it is (help?):

In my alternate world it would be a part of a large manufacturing company founded in the late 1880s. The all windowed second story on the right is the drafting office, plenty of natural light.

Cheers, the Bear.

I’ve just worked out its Labour Day on Monday in the States but I can’t edit the title, so for those of you, who it affects, have a good day. For the rest of us have a good day anyhow!!

No worries Rick, I’ve come to the conclusion that my ferry project has reached the 90% finished, 90% to do stage, so I’m not in a tearing hurry.

(This is what happens when you start watching Thomas with your 5-month-old).

My mother who was a primary (elementary) school teacher was a firm believer not only in reading but in the joy of reading, started buying the original Thomas books when my son was born. When I was at home and not working away, I always made the point of reading him a bed side story and the Thomas books were his stories of choice. I’m not sure how many times I read each book but by the time his sister joined in, I did know them off by heart. Happy days.

Cheers, the Bear.

I think I loved Thomas as much as my kids did.

Wow...it's been quite some time since I posted in WPF. With the 1000 mile move, setting up the new house and the new job assignment, there wasn't any time for the layouts or trains.

Nice work everyone...I looked forward to seeing these threads every week and didn't relize how much I missed them.

Here's a couple of shots of just plain 'ol running trains.....

Thanks Ted, but must confess that it's the camera that has the skill, photo taken with nightshot mode.

Terry, While I certainly enjoyed seeing your layout photos, the House of Ham poster was a special treat.  Reminded me of an old 1930's Internationl Harvester carnival food truck that sat rusting away on my late Uncle's property, on it was a faded handpainted pig playing a flute and wearing a chef's hat, with the words "Whisltling Pig BBQ".

My Uncle was a great guy, kind, considerate and generous, was a B-17 pilot during WWII and survived 25 missions over Germany.  I miss him.  

Thanks and regards,  Peter

Some of the excellent modeling I seen at the 2015 Narrow Gauge convention last week.  

This is Rick Schiffman's Fn3 layout.

Thanks Peter. I bought "Stumpy Pete's House of Ham" from the Historic Rails catalog.

Ooooh, cool

Got any more, Geared Steam? It's been 15 years since I went to a NNGC. Academia messes with your schedule that way.

I have about 800 pics Mike, I have already posted Day One on my blog, will try to upload more tonight.  They keep getting better and better as the week went by.
