Interesting to see the differences in the finish (looking at the first car behind the locos). Different manufacturer?
The first car behind the locomotives is the smooth roof (ACF) Kato Super Chief RPO. The second car is from the same set but is a fluted Budd style roof on the Kato Super Chief baggage car. Just different light reflection characteristics not uncommon to be seen on the prototypes.
My uncle owned a bar like your building on the right, the color was more of a turquoise though. It was Racine street in Burlington Wisconsin.
As the sheetrock work started in the new train room this afternoon, I have been looking at pictures of the former Albemarle Division and started getting nostalgic. Many of these models will be reappearing as I finish the room this summer and start building the new Albemarle Division in the fall. I can't wait. From the former layout: Track rework in '04: Trainboard blast from the past: Albemarle City-I have this in storage and plan to build into new layout:
Wow, that was a long time ago. Here is a link to that week's thread. http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?96402-Weekend-Photo-Fun-February-22-2008
Such good scenery. I know you will add more and hopefully have a train in there somewhere. I am struggling to figure out the scale but am leaning toward S. Please tell me some of your great works of art survive somewhere? What is this the 6th or 7th layout in less than 10 years.
What a bunch of wonderful photos this week! We have such depth in talent of all sorts here that inspire others, including myself! Candy ... how many structures do you have on your layout? The assortment and details are impressive!
