I'll have you know that sucker was bullet proof :evil: ........



AF350....I love Lionel layouts!!!! I've been watching the show "I love toy trains". Some great stuff on there.
Thanks for sharing

A generic industry layout permits the use of a wide variety of railroads.

Reinhard...your concrete work looks excellent!

Ok, now I have been out for a while. I come back and look at Weekly Photo Fun and there is no steam. Where are the steam photos!?

Well it is officially Conrail Day! 39 years ago, the "original" big blue started to bring the railroads from the ashes of bankruptcy.

To celebrate, I picked up a p2k caboose. This one isn't lighted, but the interior is cool! I might try and renumber it. Though I have been wanting an ex-Lehigh Valley caboose, this one is probably closer to a Reading Company or CNJ prototype. Still, its a light year ahead of the Athearn RTR one I picked up a few weeks ago.

I wonder how tricky it would be to scratchbuild/kitbash a proper LV caboose body? I suspect my skills are good enough where such a thing is a possibility for me. On the other hand, I have many projects, including two incoming caboose kits, an ex-NYC N7 bay window and an ex-NYC N6 transfer caboose.
