Dwight - those are some great photos of the n-scale car!

Great photos! Beautifully scenicked layout too! It is great to see the car on the move again. I was beginning to get worried it was "lost" in the mail somewhere.....
Happy railroading!

Great Pics Dwight
The car made it here in PA today!! 
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 05-31-2011
Well - it didn't stay out of sight long this time
As the last run of the day on the MF&W RR came in and began backing up to the GERN plant.. It was apparent that there was a not so conventional load on the flat that usually holds the Transformer.
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 05-31-2011
A closer look revealed that it was - in fact - the Big Blue N Scale Tour Car !!
The "Last Run" was instructed to take the car out to Carolton Junction and couple it up to the main Freight to be moved to the barn so it could be photographed.

The "G" Gauge Big Blue Hopper car dwarfs the little N gauge Boxcar
OK _ Time to take it off the mooring and set it in place......... In The Shed That Robin (Matthyro) built. Which is in front of the G gauge shed - "I" built along with him
Note the NARA Banner above the shed doors Original link: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32&hilit=robin">viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32&hilit=robin</a><!-- l -->Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 05-31-2011
Well after visiting a bit more, the car was brought in to meet some more of the N Gauge stuff I have.
A bridge, on top of a few pieces of the Terra Cotta block that was part of the Baldwin Buildings in Eddystone, PA.
One of our members graffitied the bridge too
I mounted it on the 2 pieces of block and keep it on a shelf near my desk Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 05-31-2011
Well, that's all for now - maybe a few more later in the week

The N car took a bit of a detour to dirtyharry's nearby home layout. I took a few pics as the car passed by some of the great city scenes Harry has on the layout.
A few pics of the overall layout.
A few GG-1's waiting to leave:
The "far corner" of the "L" shaped layout, the Gauge Tour car is in there somewhere:
The right end if the "L":
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 06-05-2011
The car was in one of the pictures above, but lets see if we can take a few good ones
Traveling around the town:
A little different angle showing more layout details and a "reflection" of the train and Gauge Car in the mirror behind the layout:
I caught the car as it crossed the grade crossing, showing the street scene:
.... and finally a close up of The Gauge Car as it passed a Soo Line caboose and a few School buses - with flashing lights, of course!!!
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ngauger - 06-05-2011
The car will be on the way by the end of the week, I'll be sending it to Canada to Trains Winnipeg. After that, it comes back to the US and we will be announcing the dates of the auction!
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - ezdays - 06-05-2011
Wow!!! What a privilege for us to see that the N scale tour car was be able to find its way on such a layout. That is something else.
Re: N Tour Car Pictures - nachoman - 06-05-2011
great photos - and dirtyharry has a great layout!
