    Is this from a past layout? N Scale? I like the looks of that little teakettle.

    Really like the look of the sidewalk and gutter, looks like a good bit of wear and tear.

    The angle is great here, just like a chance spotting and a quick shot.

    There's a few memories. Just a few days ago I ran across some photos from that era, when I was a wee lad. I sure recall the girls. Poodle skirts, saddle shoes. My how times changed!

    [​IMG]Just finished this Weatern Pacific 'Woodie', 640. These long wood cabooses were made from boxcars. Number 640 around 1916. Later it would be sold the the WP owned Tidewater Southern as TS 306. I made mine from a standard offset cupola steel caboose that lengthened and scribed and added the bracing and other modifications

    That is really nice with the outside bracing. The extra length is quite distinctive, too.

    Some really nice shots this weekend!
    Is that old brass Consolidation a PFM by any chance? I have one of those too.
    Candy, you sure know how to catch the flavor of the '50s. Brings back the best times of my life! :)

    To paraphrase an old saying, I don't think even a camelback would break Russell Straw.

    Some UTAH RAILWAY

    Some of my Utah Railway collection in the sunshine. The 9005 and 9009 are Athearn RTR units, and the 9011 I built from a Rail Power Products SD40 shell with Cannon & Co. cab and Athearn guts, in the mid 90s....
    The ready to run units are from 2010. I used Testors Navy Aggressor Grey and Guards red...and they match pretty well...
