Happy Friday!!!
Here's my shots for this week -
Picked up a new MTH CSX GP40 this week to work my SA31 local. Also put up a new MTH signal on the other side of the existing one so I can have bi-directional running on track 2

Broke out some postwar to run too -
Lorenzo joined in the fun -

Methinks that you should get a few scale-length coaches to go with that motor.

Love the composition of the NS unit by the coal mine. The diagonal lines of the conveyors and the hillside/ballast shoulder pointing at both the loco's and the mine and the strong vertical and horizontal elements make for a very interesting picture.
Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Headed out today for a run to the northern part of the county, good weather for the roadsters.
Encountered another example of Mr. Bailey's fine prefabricated truss bridge, this one over a branch of the Gunpowder Falls at the foot of the old Western Maryland Railway (currently CSX, former Baltimore & Harrisburg RR, former Baltimore & Hanover RR):
We still have quite a few of these bridges in place around the county, some of which go back to the Hurricane Agnes flooding in 1972. Temporary? Who says?
A mile or so further on is one of the few remaining original Mason Dixon Crown markers, this one heavily fortified against miscreants:
A good day...hopeful for a few more this summer.

Thanks Chuck. I shot the same scene in the Fall last year & totally different feeling.

Yeah I know! The Atlas Horizon/Comet cars have a min radius of 072 which doesn't help me. K Line made some Horizon cars painted for Amtrak that are 15''. I have 3 w/ plans to paint them into NJT at some point. I'd need a few more.

I have the opposite "problem": small motor, big car.
