Awesome layout !

It is a great little layout with awesome details. I am glad you joined big blue

I really like that wall plastered with signs....

I ran across them at some website and was going to print them out, but thought they looked a little too "urbantine" (is that a word..??) for my barren-hills layout. Turns out I was right....

They look perfect on that wall..!!

Cheers for all the nice comments,i'm glad you all like it.

Just got back from a 3 day exhibition helping my good buddy Jon Grant with Sweethome Alabama,I got some more goodies to add to the layout,once there weathered.

He's a few photo's of some of the railroads i can run the layout with.

That's terrific! Very interesting looking load.

By the way, I enjoyed the tour of Northeastern locomotives above. I know you featured a PC unit earlier.

in reference to image d3.jpg ;
Not being able to see the smaller detail, or read the road number ( assumed 439 ), I'm guessing that switcher is a Class AS-10m, Alco-GE S2, and was the former D&H #3025that the LIRR acquired in 1964. Nicely done paint on both the loco, and the caboose.

can't help it, I remember steam on the LIRR, and I might have even seen the 439 in Jamaica, on one of my trips home from Norfolk, Va. in my Navy days ( 1961-1983 ).

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's a Atlas S1 #420,and the caboose is Atlas trainman in LIRR orange with a bit of weathering.

Ray, where did the boiler come from?

Love the dilapidated look!

JWB
I used to of these boilers glued together

Not the least bit disappointed. The #420, is a LIRR class AS-6. The Alco-GE S-1, and S-2 are similar enough to be confused with each other.

I'll have to look for that Atlas trainman caboose. I could use a couple of those.

I some how missed this thread,,, and I'm liking it a lot. Great work, hope to see more soon.

Managed to get some of my goodies weathered and displayed on the layout,these were provided by my good friend Shortliner still a few to do,but here's a few photo's to keep you going.
