This is a Custom Brass New York Central P-2A Electric Locomotive in HO scale that I bought recently. I spent this weekend repairing it. It was a basket case and was missing some parts. I still have to find a pantograph shoe for the roof to complete it, but, now it looks much better and runs very well.

A few photos of an early hand built HO brass PRR GG-1 Electric. I believe this to have been sold through Tetsudo's shop, but, may have been made by Kawai Models for Tetsudo.
I bought this old Takara 4 car set last week. It was basically junk, but, I think I can fix them up. The first photos in this set are the cars the way i purchased them. The other photos are progress photos as I work on restoring all 4 cars. Some had to be disassembled and roofs replaced using brass sheet, others just needed flat filing on the roofs to remove the pits. All will get new KD couplers and new trucks, if necessary.

Earlier I shared some railroad graffitti that shared a heartfelt emotion concerning the loss of a loved one. I have no doubt that this emotion is just as heartfelt, though without all the warm fuzzies. I've no idea who Mike Carey is, but I suspect he works for the FRA and that his reputation may be sullied in some circles.
Some graffitti seeks to get across a specific point such as this case spotted on a car in Columbia, South Carolina in November, 2019. The photographer does not agree with this sentiment.
The mechanic backing to the 411. just a clogged filter so it was replaced and the 411 is ready to leave.

The Monashee Pacific was a proposed railway in the 1950's that was never built. The Edmonton Model Railway Association, located at Fort Edmonton Park, has created a world where this railway exists. The level of detail is incredible, from the towns, the trains and the people, no minute detail has been omitted. There is even someone taking a crap in the woods with a bear approaching him.
I could have spent days photographing this incredible layout. I have only included the highlights.
