It looks like the 34, on the left, is about to be passed by the freight approaching in the distance...

...but she's just about to start out with her short mixed train.  The whole story, if you've got a little time to kill, can be viewed HERE.  Also, a few posts into the replies, there's a short video.

Show me some more operations with at least two trains involved, please.

Show me something simple, how about a picture in full color? That should at least get us started for the long Memorial Day weekend.

Ed said: "Show me a patriotic scene, or at least a flag flying."

I was shocked to find that I didn't have a flag on the layout. I will fix that over site soon.

UP 8818 is the best I can do.

More flags or patriotic scenes please.

According to the time of your post and the time of my computer, it has been more than 24 hours (or at least according to my calculations, I could be wrong).

New post!

A BNSF local pulls past a passenger train at the station while blocks of cars sit in the mockup of what will become cresent yard.

Show me more small yards or orange locomotives (two choices, yaaaay!)

 

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

I just so happen to have another one o' those...

I have yet another orange loco besides that one too, but I don't have pictures of it yet... 

I must be modeling certain railroads with a decidely NW US presence...Whistling

Show me a small yard this time. I think we have the orange locomotives pretty well covered.
