As far as those mini pantographs go, the NYC S motors had them as well... Your hint is how I found the answer. :D "There were still gaps, however, in the electricity at slip switches and crossovers. To remedy this issue, the NYC employed short sections of overhead catenary where appropriate, a...

Nice looking set, Healey, scratches and all. No dents? I kinda like the way used equipment looks when it is not "like new." It wears its history. I have always wondered what those things that look like tiny pantographs were used for. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55652750698_03e57a25...

When I click on this image, it opens on Flickr as a video. The video shows the weird lights coming from the nuclear reactor.

Thank you for the notice wfttrains. If I were closer, I would visit. Columbia, Kentucky, is a bit far for me to go to a train show.

Updated 10/3/2026: All of this should be visible if I can get this shared iCloud album link to work. Please let me know if it doesn't work. George Good to see you back, George.

Interesting Healey and Hondo.
I searched eBay for "Lionel N5C Pink" and was surprised by how many pink cars Lionel made.
I also found the high prices interesting.

You point out one of the foibles of my paper construction methods, Wayne - the exposed corner. Of course, sometimes my diabetes-riddled eyesight fails me and I don't get things quite aligned properly when cementing the paper corner in place (as seen here). Ahh, a second layer of image for the corne...

Very interesting features in and on your new Marx project, Healey.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished building.

I got interested in Dave's YouTube site by accident while looking for a paper station that Marx made back in the 1950s: . Here is one of Dave's old videos: Green Night at Dave's 2009 When Irish Eyes are Smiling and Smokin' 999. https://youtu.be/tvfDVtSVKWM?si=jDLu81CY5Pg7JmTW Here is a more recent v...

When the sun shines, it illuminates the door layout for a few minutes in the afternoon. I think sunlight looks far better than any artificial light I have used for model photography. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55539080945_f1804f1882_o.jpg Sunshine on Station by Wayne Benda , on Flickr
