Model Train Journal

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Hope everyone had a great holiday, lots of beer & good food!!

Didn't do much work this week, but we did run some trains today!
Had 2188W & 2173WS on the tracks today













Giovanna was my engineer's helper today




Framed w/ a 20mm lens, NS SD70M 2590 leads eastbound 38Q through LIlly, PA on the famed west slope of the Pittsburgh Line -


It may be just a yard transfer, but SD40-2s on the point of an intermodal in 2018 is cool! A pair of NS SD40-2s are in charge of stack transfer from Whitaker Yard as they head northbound through Austell, GA. NS 3584 is the highest numbered NS SD40-2 on the roster & was originally built as UP 3801 -


Ex Conrail B40-8 5086 is working for it's 3rd owner at the Pickens Railway as it pulls into the yard in Anderson, SC -

Looks brilliant, but you're going to need a Flyer Cow-on-the-Track accessory if you don't get some fence up, lol.



Cow's a bit bigger than most of yours.

Picked up this Flyer 408 last week at the local meet:



I went, swearing to myself that I would refrain from buying anything...a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g! Still came home with this...

Christopher, I hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving. I do very much appreciate your terrific photos of your layout and your postwar treasures, and your delightful children. Thanks again!

Thanks guys!!

I didn't even think about the AF cow on track!
I have to see if I can work it in now!
