Right? I consider it the "wishful thinking" addition to the module. There was no train store in Bridesburg.

In other news, in case anyone is curious about the tire fire references: https://billypenn.com/2018/07/13/two-decades-ago-10000-tires-caught-fire-in-port-richmond-and-melted-part-of-i-95/

I'm surprised the Christmas wreaths have stayed put.

Thank you @Philip H !

It may say BN now but it'll soon say "Philadelphia Tire Disposal Co".

Looks like a lot of tire stacking going on, but not much disposing.

Your treatment of the Unitrak is beyond admirable.  Very nicely done.

You need a Cadillac with the trunk popped and a guy leaning into it. Don't know why, but you need it.

Nice to see that ex-Peoria & Eastern unit still earning its keep.

Funny, the real one did too this weekend. The B&O museum's WM F unit failed during an event and the 8905 had to come to the rescue.

You should move them to one of the rowhouses.  Having grown up in one, I can tell you there's always that one guy in the neighborhood who never takes down his Christmas lights...
