    Well, as Jim has kicked off the Modeling Plans thread a day early, I suppose I can get the photo thread going a day early as well. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas or is able to enjoy the holidays in whatever fashion that they choose. (I think today is actually Festivus in some circles. I never watched Seinfeld so I don't know.)

    Good morning from sunny and mild Northeast Ohio!

    Managed to get a few cars done this week.

    A kit built already decorated Bowser PRR N8 caboose, these are nicely detailed kits and I added all the brake rodding and parts on the underframe.

    Intermountain ACF 1958CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Herald King Decals. This is the one of many of these cars I have built as the D&TS picked up 20 or more of these cars a day from the sand pit in Rockwood, MI. This was high mineral content sand that was used by the glass plants in the Toledo area.

    Red Caboose PC&F R70-15 Mechanical Refridgerator car kit, painted with Scalecoat II White and ATSF Red Paints, then lettered with Oddball Decals. The BKTY marking represent cars leased thru Bankers Trust (Owned by the SP) which is why the cars are built to SP specs and the BKTY markings meant they could be reclaimed easily if the MKT had any financial problems, they were used is moving perishible fruits and vegtables.

    Last week I took my Kato GP35 and a pair of Atlas RS-32's to the club to run a mixed freight of NYC and other RR's mixed freight.

    Running its 48th Christmas, in sun and shadows, 'round the bend:

    IMGP4190A.JPG

    The original locomotive from my 1973 train set, with a reconstituted train (stalking the train shows).

    This is how I operated on the first Christmas run:

    I don't sit on the floor anymore. I noticed that as I get older, getting up is a much more complicated operation than when I was the slim young lad pictured here. :whistle:

    I also had a lot more hair. Those were the days... :ROFLMAO:

    Totally not train related, but it is Christmas-y. I got this insulated mug from our daughter. She knows truth when she sees it. [​IMG]

    Oh, and since I shared my Cleveland Zoo train (tracks) photos elsewhere, here are some of the other zoo pictures... [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    On Sunday, the day before we went to the Cleveland Zoo, we drove to Pittsburgh and saw the zoo there (one of our retired pastors filled in at church). On the way home, we followed signs (and gps) to the open house at the Ohio Valley Lines Model Railroad in Ambridge, PA. Ambridge, incidentally, also has an enormous NS rail yard that runs along the Ohio River. Since I was driving, I was unable to get photos of that. Here are photos from the Open house with an HO scale layout on the first floor, and two or three N-scale layouts in the basement.
