Sweet shot Bruce.

Now that the layout has been uncovered it is time for a test run and cleaning. This is my Track Cleaning Vehicle. It is from TCS. It is DCC. It has a pad to clean the rails, a vacuum to clean around the track, and a couple of magnets to pick up metal debris. I ran it for close to an hour to make sure all is well.

A new addition to the Wilderson division.  I saw both EL bicentennial locomotives running together eastbound in 1976 before I got a real camera. I got some pictures at Conway but not at all good so I will have to settle for the models         .

The SD45 version arrived today. It is a BLI product but I think the same plant in China is assembling all of them. I think the couplers in this case re too long on the shank and it needs the mu hoses installed too.

It is an older Broadway Limited blue box. It is not a Paragon. It is Quantum QSI.

Going through some older photos since I don't have much in the way of newer ones since being sick.

My Dad's favorites - thanks for posting that Tom... Made me wish I would have picked on up prior to 2006 when he passed away.
