Weekend Photos - 1/25/19

Postby christopher2035 » Fri Jan 25, 2019 10:50 am

Happy Friday -

Here's some new Reading power on the layout -

Work on the layout is being put on hold, as my wife informed me she may want this room for a kids playroom. Not really sure where that puts me lol. May have to relocate to the garage & then when time/money allows, convert it to a room. Not sure yet. We are still in the negotiation phase. It would be cool to get a bigger space, but I would have to deal with it being a garage for about a year till I can have it converted. IDK. We shall see. Never boring in my house :)


Stopped at VMT this past weekend with the kids -

NS SD70ACe 1157 and a couple of ex CSX units lead 821 westbound through Wabun, VA on the Christiansburg District
Image

NS Dash-9 9159 hustles a westbound stack train past the 131 signals in Newport, PA. This would turn out to be my last shot of these PRR classics, as they were taken out of service a few days later.
Image

A pair of ex CSX B40-8s lead the daily freight through the outskirts of Anderson, SC on the Pickens Railway.

On a dreary day, endangered NS SD70M 2610 leads 201 westbound under the signals at WB in Salem, VA

Christopher,
All great shots as usual.
I see you are running the Reading GP long hood forward.
Did you rewire to get that or just cycle through?

:shock:

I see the cab driver looking at the sinkhole behind his cab. I hope the bus driver sees it before he backs out.

Nice pictures as always. I'll try to post some this evening.

LOL. Good news for them is that the parking lot got repurposed for the milk car this weekend, so no more scary backup moves!

Christopher, gotta basement? If so, may be best to head there rather then the garage. Nothing more postwar than a basement layout built on a concrete floor, with exposed floor joists overhead!

No, unfortunately, basements are hard to come by down here. I was able to get get her to back off the playroom idea for now & said we can revisit it in the future. Only other spot for me would be the garage, but I'd want it finished before I started building a layout in there.
