I took this yesterday waiting for the RT-7 bridge to close in Jersey city. In this shot you can see the PATH bridge on the far right. The CSX/NS crossing in the center. And,, the RT-7 bridge on the left. Soon on the far left there will be a new bridge to help with some of the traffic on the present crossing.

I was heading back home from my mothers this afternoon and saw an old friend of mine in Rogers, Ohio. The 752 was one of my locomotives when I ran the KJR. It was recently sold to the Y&S. It is actually back in the hands of the fellow we bought it from in 2003.

A pic that could be out of the 1950's.. I grabbed this one while we were doing some restoration work on our F-3's at Steamtown in Scranton PA.

I am almost done with my Arrow II, at least on the outside. I've added the rooftop conduits and grab irons, insulators, lighting arrestor and pantographs.

The steps are only partially held in, and I need to drill out the markers and headlight casting. The main problem here is that I need to find a drive to finish the interior. I'm leaning towards a Metroliner MU drive, which is cheaper and performs better than the alternative drives. The main problem here is that the wheels are 36"

Did my best to get this one but mother nature got in the way.. This is the NS transfer about to head south (timetable) east out of Slateford junction, just south of the Delaware water gap on the NJ/PA border. They have just picked up a train left by the D&L, most likely headed for the ex CNJ yard in Allentown PA. I crossed the Rt46 bridge to get some closer shots but the train was leaving as I rolled up to it.. so I just missed out on some great shots.

Thank you Kevin.
I hope to have more areas of this layout that far along soon.

Oh Maaaaan !!!!
One of these days I just have to try to model that scene. It clearly shows one of the reasons Winter scenes are rarely modeled........every branch on every tree would have to be replicated, or the model scene would look "Fake"
