I love the Pennsy!

[Dave V]

So just in case you Pennsy fans thought I'd gone over completely to the blue side, I had my boys help me swap eras tonight on the N Scale Juniata Division.  I took some quick grabs with the camera (no staged shots) just for fun.  Please excuse the lack of backdrop.



A stray E8 finds itself in the freight diesel pit tracks at Enola behind an RF16B.



An L1s prowls the yard while a hotshot is ready to head westward on a departure track.



An M1 is maneuvering around the service tracks:





The yard is busy:





A pair of GP9s idle on the westbound departure track ready for clearance from DAY tower to proceed to BANKS.





Another grab of the L1s:









Meanwhile the eastbound Broadway Limited races into the dawn through East Mifflin:



...and an H10sb brings a local through Lewisport:

Sheesh.  What a nerd!

(I love the convertibility of that little door of yours...)

Excellent! Somehow the layout looks better with alittle DGLE. It just looks right and feels right. Long live the PRR.
Thanks

Cool pics!  Except, with steam on the rails, get that red-orange circa-1956 McGinnis NH anomaly out of there and substitute in a handsome NYNH&H script herald car!

I love the Pennsy too.  Love it so much I just ordered another Broadway Limited set which I plan on changeing the car names. 

You do need to get more X29 boxcars.  Great stuff Dave!

LOL...  I have some Red Caboose X29s but I lost the damned brakewheel staffs on all of them...  and I can't find the replacements.  Besides, I don't like the way I weathered them.

Looks good Dave.

I love that it works so well in both eras.

Nice stuff. Every time I look at that yard, it screams to me, "Make me longer."  Another extension can't be that hard! The lead and yard tracks need to be balanced.

It's like a disturbance in the force.
"Yes, Dave  [Sounds of labored breathing] I am your father. [Sounds of labored breathing]"

[Dave V]

Someday I plan to double the length.  It's not a matter of "hard."  It's a matter of space, and the fact that I will likely move another 3 or more times before I retire from the Air Force.  In fact I'm moving to Florida this December...  Space will be tight as the best I'll be able to do is a spare bedroom.  Temp/humidity swings in a garage are unacceptable, and since I plan on renting (it's an 18 month tour) I won't be investing in insulating a garage.  Everyone I know who bought a house while at Hurlburt or Eglin can't sell and is forced to rent it out anyway.

I don't know if you saw this on Atlas:

I fixed it for you:

LOL...!

Doesn't Walther's make that one!

That's just wrong there Ed!
Now go to your room,fifteen minute time out for you!
Looks really nice Dave.

That's what she said?

Oh, and Ed, the more I look at that mike, the more I think it needs PC-style letters.
