How 'bout a UP freight coming across the Mississippi river parallelling US190w east of Baton Rouge?

Wow, the first week, this thread shot off like a racin' speeder. It seems the novelty has died down just a bit. None-the-less, I shared a picture of my new toy in the N scale engine of the week forum and thought I'd share another angle here.

Hey TrainNut now I'm drooling all over my keyboard. That is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I am going to now have to get a divorce 9even though I am not married) just so I can get me one of the big boys. DROOL SLOBBER DROOL

Nuther pic of the 3 stores.This time with their neibor.

Notice that all stores have front doors now.Scratchbuilding the blue one was a fun PITA but I'm happy with the way it turned out.Now comes the real fun part,selecting and adding all the details.

I still haven't decided which layout they are going on,but I'm leaning toward the little home layout.

Next pic will show them on location.

Well now I didn't know we could post proto pics

I could go all year

Here are a few
These one was taken just out of Flagstaff, AZ on the BNSF Line. I was very happy to catch a Warbonnet still in Santa Fe Lettering. The engine had a beautiful horn on it as well.

Sorry for the bad photo, but you can get a glimpse at how old the Warbonnets are getting. I was also glad to see one still in Sante Fe lettering. Not sure where this one was taken, possibly Raton Pass in NM.

Hey Nazgul I love all steam it's just that the bigboy has been on my wishlist for so long that I drool and slobber every time I see one
