Great, nostalgia-inducing photo.
Could one of our experts explain the two "wire-like" things extending from the middle of the caboose chassis to apparently, the axle boxes?

Yes, there's a really great engine that I'd love to see produced as well. All sorts of nice details.

Bit of a head scratcher for me. Probably one of the nicer detailed photos of a bobber caboose.

Sway bars? Equalizer?

It is a very nice, clear shot of that whole ensemble ("train"?)

Would that locomotive be an example of a "camel" steam locomotive?

I think this is a camelback loco. Also called Mother Hubbard. B&O had camel locos. They were a little different.

As good as any likely explanation.

Camelback - and a very nice earlier 2-8-8 version that I'd be happy to see produced in O scale,

Flooding in Northumberland

I don't think I have ever seen a flood modeled on a model railroad.

Most folks are not very talented in making realistic water on their layout.

Practice. Tinted resin.

That's one option that I've rarely seen done well. Robert's article in OST last year taught a process looked rather good. I'm not sure that I'll ever have a need to test it out.

Some of the nicest simulated water I've ever seen was on a friend's layout where he poured small puddles along the edges of a dirt road. It was years ago, I think he used a Woodland Scenics product, but the effect was brilliant. Wish I had some photos...layout is long gone.
