I like it myself James. One of my best friends operated this type of equipment went he worked for the railroad. He already owns a gondola that looks just like the one in the photo. I'll send him the post. The last job I worked on the railroad before I left was exactly what's going on in the photo. Off loading ties.

Good morning y'all.

Flo- Coffee and a plate of bacon please. You know what, make it the same for everyone. My treat.

Went browsing the interwebs last night and found a few possibilities for interior details for my buildings. Now I just need the money to order them. Ain't that always the way? Oh well.

Y'all have a blessed day. Gotta get another coffee then go make that money so I can buy detail parts.
 
Morning from here too! Coffee, FLO - and leave the pot. please!

Thought you all might like this photo that I just spotted on FB!

A 19 locomotive power moves across the eastern Mojave Desert as dusk as it approaches Schulliver's Wash; near Cadiz.
These motors are reportedly going to Barstow to be put back into service.

For me the Christmas season begins the day after Thanksgiving.

An atheist once told me "I enjoy the Christmas season, people seem to be a little nicer during the Christmas season" I say "peace on earth and goodwill towards men is a good thing.

 
Around 65 years ago, I remember the small town where my grandparents shopped had a small community Christmas display and town ornaments in a two block long area. I propose to copy that Christmas display on the On30 layout.
Attached is the Nativity/Christmas display I cobbled together and the Mack truck loaded with the town ornaments to be set out.
I had a problem with Dunlop, ( my belly done lopped over my belt ), where the ornaments kept falling off the truck bed. A little double sided tape solved the problem. I'll install the scene this weekend and try to get another picture.
