Having problems downloading my picture this week to the computer, so here's a photo from four years ago.
WPMA-29 has completed its work at the Lower Bank team track.

A different view of the "flat hill". The hill in the middle of the photo was inspired by an article I read many years ago in Model Railroader... From front to back, that scenery is less than 1/2 an inch thick - which was all the room I had available for scenery - which goes to show that there's a scenic answer to every problem. Speaking of problems - that unweathered coal hopper sticks out like a sore thumb...

Great pictures this week, so far, guys.
Bruce: That Conrail switcher reminds me a lot of seeing Conrail equipment when I was little.
Tmo: I always love the weathering on your cars. You’re right, though. Once they’re weathered, the non-weathered ones look way weird.
Nutbar: I always love shots from your layout.
Charlie: That commuter train looks sharp. What’s the head end car I see there?

Amalynn, that is a model of the PRR X29 box car that was on the Kiski Junction Railroad which is now at the East Broad Top. It was built as a retirement gift by my good friend and honorary brother DrWayne. Here are some photos of it. It is my most cherished model. [

Ed,
Like the additional of your crew figures. Shows how massive those steamers were. One of those EG&E boxcars showed up in South Jersey in early September of 2018.

This week's pictures got me thinking about "special items" on the Leetown Division---here's a couple of examples that remind me of good friends I've made over the years.
