As noted elsewhere https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=39035.msg475053#msg475053 this was the annual Conrail historical Society's Rail B Q weekend.  General goonery began Fridaynight as Ed K hosted some informal running on his York, PA layout:




Ah, the ICH graffiti - just another example of TRW collaboration. I miss DKS. . . This also reminds me that I promised to print another batch of those decals.  But I want to resize them to better fit the car.

Finally got around to taking some video of the Atlas S2 I painted.


Wow! Great modeling all the way around! Love this!

...weird...I mistakenly quoted and up-voted a reply at first and when I tried to undo my up-vote, it took away two up-votes. So, I left it alone.

Sorry I missed that, Rich.  I was staying with my daughter, she lives near Regents Square east of Frick Park.  Back home on the Shore now...  Looks like I'll be back sometime in July to help her move back to Maryland... :(

Saturday morning Ron Smith hosted a few of us on his Erie Lakawanna/Bath and Hammondsport layout:






I enjoyed having you folks over, and it was great to see  -and hear - Eric's M1.  We'll have to try and do that again next year!

I'm sorry Ruth and I couldn't stay around Saturday afternoon long enough to hear the trombone trio. Maybe next year I'll bring my alto sax along too...

Looks very nice Otto.  I love a well done recognizable scene.

Thanks Ben, and Scott. Love the rock work, Scott :o

Some quick dumps from my phone. A little wiring nightmare followed by what it accomplishes.

Awesome results Skipgear, but masking tape!?!  :facepalm: :|

Now go and do this in N scale.  ;)

We also need another run of Baconrail decals. I missed DKS too.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Sorry I missed you guys! I didn't realize who you guys were until you were walking back to your car. I didn't want to run up behind you guys and startle you!

Tony, that store is amazing!
Is there a layout inside, is that a tableful of broccoli? :D
Seriously, nice work...

Tony, that store lighting and interior is fantastic!  Aren't you a little worried about those little magnet wires getting
broken, though?  What's going to protect them under there?

Yes! I was in the exact same boat! I got there just as you were leaving too. Sorry about that. Next time!!

Sorry, no kapton handy at the time. It's really just to keep the wires out of my way and to address Max's concern, to keep them from getting snagged and broken during handling.

I believe the final count with exterior lights was 20 LED's in the building. At least for HO I am getting real fond of the the 3mm and 5mm square surface mounts. The light dispersion is much more uniform with no hot spots. I did miss a few spots on one of the floors and there are some light leaks through the walls but overall I am very happy with it.

And yes there is a table full of broccoli masquerading as a train layout.
