I have just started restoring this Akane C&O 2-6-6-6 for my friend Sean. This is a series of photos showing how it was received (in parts), going through drive modifications and finally, paint and reassembly - This video shows a side view of the drive, with it running at medium speed. All appears to align well and it runs great at this point. It will be disassembled now, so the frame can be painted along with the remaining model parts.
HO-Scale Metra F59PH awaits departure from the fictional Bungalow Square Station--so called because of Chicago's famous bungalow houses. The train does not make a constant loop around the neighborhood. Museum patrons push a button to activate the train. I've seen the train operate both clockwise and counter-clockwise to even out "wheel wear,"

You haven't seen much in the way of model photos on my photostream. It's been nearly 30 years since I've actively modelled with a layout in high school. I've dabbled with plans and sporadic equipment purchases since but it's been short changed relative to other hobbies. While not my layout I do have a few photos to share from the 2nd half of my birthday weekend. Pat Thoney's Quincy & Torch Lake Railroad has been a bucket list item for me since I first viewed a few photos online.
I grew up just down the hill from the Q&TL route in a house on Quincy Street. The ghosts of this narrow gauge mining railroad were always close at hand. The railroad has long played 2nd fiddle to the preserved mine itself, the Quincy #2 shafthouse and hoist. In recent years Pat and other volunteers have made remarkable progress in repatriating and restoring Q&TL equipment, most notably locomotive #6 that had been languishing in New Jersey since the 1970s.
Back to the models, Pat has done a remarkable job of recreating the Q&TL in HOn3 and I didn't need to be asked twice when offered a chance to see the layout and participate in an operating session. The technology of model railroading has come a long long ways since I built a layout. I was a little nervous to take the throttle of these exquisite models but it's a little like riding a bike. Besides, Pat's layout is very well crafted and runs like a swiss watch, designed for fun operations. I had a blast.
All the vignettes around this layout do a great job of capturing the feel of an early fall day, probably late September, in the Copper Country. Just uphill from Mason a rock train pauses for clearance down into the yard. In the foreground is a ubiquitous clearing in the woods where a couple guys are hard at work gathering firewood ahead of another long winter.
A few photos of the dis-assembly, cleaning and reassembly of a C&O H-7a 2-8-8-2. This model was fairly tarnished and had dark spots in the finish. It also was missing a tender step and needed a good cleaning and lube. This photo shows where the tender step was attached, only the brace remains.
Today's find, a little B&O C-16 0-4-0T. I bought this a few days ago, it needs a little TLC, but runs fairly well. Made by Samhongsa (Korea) in 1973 for Gem Models - catalog #SH-119. These are the only brass models made of this type. Precision Scale / Boo-Rim plans a future model however.
Probably simply as a practical joke to all Swiss, the Switzerland section features this DJ Bobo open-air concert. Including some of his abysmal music. Nonetheless, I'm impressed by the attention to detail.

In the shop today we have a CP unit getting the front plow fixed and VIA 903 just got it's 92 day. Also the boys are ready for Remembrance Day.
The boys seem to have some concerns with the rear of 908 as they are doing the 92 day inspection. Also in and already passed is CP 3747

By the time I shot this one, I realized there was a train about to enter the yard that would block this row of cars, so I tried to hurry up and shoot wide shots of them all. I missed a few and when I opened this shot up, I realized the road number was painted over. It's lettered BKTY, but I can't make out the number.
