RIP Steef! An unusual but nicely accomplished scene that will get some glances and questions! :) Ralph

Shortly after the merger lashups from all three roads could be seen hauling freights up Marion Curve... Ralph

Niiiiice! Thanks Charlie! Ralph

That's terrific! Wish I had some pics! Ralph

I'm guessing they are disappearing. We used to see this ferry make regular visits to Duluth. I was told that it was often loaded with box cars full of large paper rolls for newpaper printing. http://www.wellandcanal.ca/shiparc/carferries/incansuperior/superior.htm Ralph

Looks great dwight!! Thanks for describing your weathering techniques. I'd love to see a pic of the structure on that module. Ralph

If only I'd been more attentive at the time! Actually I don't think I had a chance to see the head end equipment in NY when boarding. We approached the train from the rear. I was feeling rushed in Chicago to make my connection so I probably fast walked right by the locomotives on my way to...

Fairly close then! I rode the the end of August 1977. Ralph

I like the rent-a-wreck concept that allows you to run whatever you wish. I see your trees have autumn foliage. Are you going to stick with that season? Some beautiful layouts have been set in the Fall, a great time to watch and photograph trains! Looking good! Ralph

Any idea what year you took that shot of the Broadway Limited, Charlie? I rode that train in 1977 to go to college as a freshman. It was an exciting trip for me, first time away from home and traveling any distance by myself. I had a roomette in one of the sleepers. Ralph

That's great stuff. I think you'll be very happy with the results of your planning and investigations. I wish I'd done this kind of research before getting started on my layout. Ralph

I think Matt's quote says it all: "Ours is the truest form of nostalgia. Longing for an era we have never known". Your interest in earlier railroad times Ronson2k3 seems to be a reaction to today's high tech, maybe too sterile, too automated world that perhaps lacks some of the warmth, the...

I like 'em! Especially the freight house. Ralph

I remember that Tootsie pop commercial with the owl. :) MM, I like that set! The artwork on the packaging is cool too! Ralph

...or #51's. :) Nice one Art Decko! Ralph

Just a quick side trip to confirm the doc's impressions. PC 8045 was indeed a GP38-2...here's a link to a pic of it heading a train in New Jersey. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=487912 Now back to NW2's or more TH&B! :) Ralph

Looking good Herc! Hey Jeffrey, I saw a similar cool pedestrian bridge in the Trackside Photo section in a recent issue of Model Railroader. Here's a picture of action on two levels on my layout. That's my trackcleaner car on the highline. Ralph

Phew! I can finally get back into the game! PC GP38-2 since we're not being picky. :) Ralph

Those are excellent Mike!!!! I can't believe the detail you added to those little shacks like the lights outside and that oil derrick is fantastic! Ralph

Fascinating stuff and very nice work! Ralph
