Happy Friday!!

Busy week on the railroad! I raised a barn this week -







Picked up this cool Cow 'aquarium' car for my cow crazy daughter -


Also picked up the Virginian coal set from the late 90s. Nice quality set -






2025 rolling by the farm house -


by the tower -


and meeting the 2329 as it pulls out of the station -


Decided to go with more of a theme, as the layout takes on more of a hi-rail look, so I ordered a couple of Reading engines & passenger cars. Expect to see them showing up in more shots going fwd

CSX ES44AC-H 784 leads high & wide movement 098 through Robesonia, PA on the NS Harrisburg Line-


UP SD70M 4987 is in charge of Jersey bound 212 as it heads through China Grove, NC on the Piedmont main line -


NS SD80MAC 7228 (ex EMDX 8000, exx CR 4128, exxx CSXT 812/4602) leads 836 through Sharpsburg, MD on the NS H Line-


The race is on as NS 194 running on the N&W w/ SD60E 6928 paces NS 188 running on the ex VGN in Salem, VA-


Amtrak P42 85 leads the eastbound Pennsylvanian over Sherman's Creek in Duncannon, PA on the eastern end of the NS Pittsburgh Line-

Great shots as always!

Here were my latest purchases...
Polar Berk that have been in my Christmas pics.


Finally finished this set with the caboose after 7 years waiting.


Scale Turbine I got at the warehouse sale. This one without the dampness.


One of the earliest picture of me and dad with my brother and sister. I'm the smallest guy. Best I could do to clean it up.

Chris - great shots as usual!
Marty - love that turbine and the picture of you as a kid. Nice layout!
