Real model train layouts....

[De Bruin]

Just to be... you know ..."out there"
Here’s some shots from the downtown club and a local HO modular show that I thought was interesting.

The Hummingbird is on it’s last legs having lost it’s mail contract and is hitting the river before the tunnel to arrive at Danville on it’s southbound run.

Then there’s this from the North Georgia Modurail groups HO set-up at the Smoke Rise Baptist Church in Stone Mountain Georgia this weekend. I love seeing modelers filling in the blanks with up/back dating equipment just for the sake of enjoying the “look.” Note this FP59 in Daylight colors pulling some Walthers gallery cars. Very cool, the owner told me he had a set in the the two-tone Harriman scheme too but Walthers ran out of the FP59’s before he could get another one and paint it in the Lark Grey and Scarlet .

And then as a lesson there’s this Tempo train which I assume is another Rapido master stroke; RS18 and Hawker-Sidley lightweights reminding us that HO’ers don’t have to work nearly as hard as we do, though the cars would've looked better in the original CN scheme .

I'd like to see more of the club, and what you're running there. I doubt that I'll get to Atlanta anytime soon, but if I did I'd make an effort to visit.
