That WC heritage unit looks quite nice.

   Thanks Lenny! CN colors are nice, too.  I am glad that CN kept their classy color scheme after absorbing WC, IC, and other roads.  That potash train brings back memories of the potash trains Santa Fe ran back in the 1970s when I lived in Littlefield TX (between Clovis NM and Lubbock TX).   I actually saw the potash mines earlier near Carlsbad NM when I lived in NM.

I like how you cropped all of The Avengers out of the sky

I visited the open house at the Glassboro restored station that has been turned into a museum. They did a beautiful restoration with a lot of memorabilia. It sits on the Conrail Shared Assets line that was previously owned by the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and before that the West Jersey and Seashore.

Here are some before and after photos:






Some O & HO exhibits:
(A full length 11 window O Scale RDC, not the squashed Lionel version.)


HO diorama:


Garden railroad:


The N scale representative was an un-sceniced loop of track with a passenger train.
I’ll have to talk to them about that!
