Model Train Journal

Happy FALL!!!! My favorite time of year! Crisp weather, Football & Trains!!

Picked up 2 new heritage units this week - LV & Wab & a regular NS SD70ACe
















A matched set of GP60s on an intermodal, in 2017 - Yeah I'll take it! NS GP60 7103 leads a string of stacks headed to the intermodal yard in Austell, GA on the Atlanta North District




NS SD60E 6928 (ex CNW SD60 8011) leading 194 eastbound on the former N&W in Salem, VA


Two trains filled with black diamonds head under the old N&W coaling tower at Capels, WV on the Pokey


NS 11V prepares to tackle the climb up the mountain as it heads through downtown Altoona w/ Dash-9 9330 leading


Strasburg #90 steams through the fields of Amish Country in PA at sunset

Christopher,
Very, very nice photos, as usual.

Christopher, I've been admiring this electrical box on the layout for some time...what's the story on that? Is that a scratch-build or something commercially available?



I made a tinplate version a couple years back to use as a junction for electric lines coming down from poles at the mouth of the Hellgate:



Might be neat to add a light at some point.

I think it's from an old Model Power accessory kit. I've had it for years. Always on the lookout for another one.

Christopher,

Congratulations on your cover photo and eight-page spread in the November 2017 Classic Toy Trains magazine.
