Thanks, Tim! I'm still working on my "city scene" but compliments like yours keep me moving!

The building is one of the Bachmann Spectrum structures:

https://lombardhobby.com/bachmann-ho-spectrum-88007-trade-tower-kit/

This line is one of the better offerings from Bachmann. As for my "fog" I use one of those Halloween fog machines that I got on Amazon. It uses glycerine for the fog. It is fun to use in photos and doesn't have any bad side effects like the model "smoke fluid" does. No odor or residue.

Please show me something on your layout that's a bit of an anomaly, such as something too modern for your layout's era, or out of scale, for example.

  —pretty-much turns it into a Hippo-Dome. Wayne

Shades of Henny Youngman Surprise So funny it's painful! 

The back story is that this PRR I1sa was in the refurb depot at Broadway Limited. I got it for Ken as a reward for not smoking for one month (he's up to one year, now!) but, it was disclosed by BLI that the front number plate was missing.

Well, I had a spare B&O Capitol dome on hand and I stuck the Blue & Gold on there for the one photo. Ken actually chose a toluidine-red Keystone that I applied to the model, probably the only PRR 2-10-0 to have such a number plate.

If you look carefully on the right side of this picture, on the Athens Bend Track Club's N Scale Layout, you will see a UNION PACIFIC passenger car on the roadway. That does not belong there!

Oh, there is also a dragon atacking the castle, but the castle roof is covered with blue slate tiles, which were not first quarried until after the ages of the dragons. Everybody knows that.

I hope this is what you meant. I have a "John Bull" locomotive that I use as STRATTON AND GILLETTE #1 in pictures.

My plan is to "someday" letter it for the SGRR and build a different tender. I have a plan for the tender drive on this locomotive.

Let's continue with first locomotives.

My first locomotives, in 1955, were an A-B-B-A set of Globe F7 diesels, all custom painted (by my father) in Santa Fe "Warbonnet" colours.  One of the B-units was the only one powered, with one Lindsey motorised-truck. 
When I repainted them, quite a few years ago, I put the powered truck in one of the A-units, as shown below...

They got sold, along with most of my other diesels, when I backdated my layout to the late '30s era.

Here is my smallest tank car, but not too small. It is a three domed PENSYLVANNIA TM-8 8,000 gallon tank car decorated for Ethyl Corporation.

I do not have a picture of it in scenery, because I did not paint it, and it is factory fresh, not suitable for scenery pictures. It is one of the few "collector" pieces I own.

A lot of my family has worked for Ethyl, and this car has spent much of its life in a display case on a desk. It came to me from my uncle.

The South Penn was an 'almost' railroad. The right of way was cleared from Harrisburg Pa to Pittsburg Pa and tunnels dug. Then all work was stopped and the railroad abandoned. The right of way became the Pa Turnpike in the 1930s. The turnpike even used the tunnels.

Canadian Pacific ran an extensive lake system in British Columbia. The pic below is from a B.C. modelers layout and I don't believe it exist anymore. I hope to do something similar on my layout at some point.
