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

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.

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.

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.

When I got this Atlas (Branchline) reefer kit (along with another very similar car) free, from my LHS, both were billboard beer reefers.  However, since my layout is set in the late '30s, after such cars had been outlawed, it seemed a good idea to make it something a little more appropriate to the era, as I had a suitable lettering set on-hand...

The original lettering wipe-off easily from both cars, and with no other decal sets on-hand, I lettered the second one, using dry transfers, for my home road's Grand Valley Export Ltd.....

As you can see, neither car has yet received the second grabiron, on the side, near the left end, mandated in the mid-'30s.
