Show me more reefers, billboard or otherwise, please.

This car has a bit of nostalgia attached to it. I remember my dad getting one like this for me on one of our cross-town trips to a hobby shop when I was quite young.

I just found one at a very reasonable price so I treated myself to a re-kindled memory.

Show me a car or locomotive that holds a special memory for you.

A special memory? I hadn't thought about it, but here is a special memory that is still in use after more than 20 years. It is an EMD A and B F units teemed together and operating well. The B unit is a much older Varney shell that I reworked for this duty.

More Special Memories please.

Roger said: "More special memories please."

NYC F7 #1855 is an Athearn BB kit locomotive and the first engine in which I installed a sound decoder, twelve or so years ago. Recent modifications have placed the sound in the B-unit. Both are seen frequently on the layout.

More memories please.

The Atlas ranch house, the Revell school and the Revell green suburban house were from my first 2 layouts in the early 1960s. I did some restoration work and installed them in Greenvale Village on my present layout

Harrison: "Show me your favorite scene on your layout."

I'm not sure if this is my favorite scene, but is surely my favorite layout photo. A West bound New York Central passenger train passes a short freight at the west end of the BRVRR layout.

More favorite scenes or photos please.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
