Awesome scene Redwoods, and that Doodlebug in the snow is very realistic, wks! Also, great scene, Chops, with a 2-loco "showdown."

Northern Pacific RR RF-16A "Shark" #272 reposes in the shade of autumn trees on the Ephrata Valley Railroad, as its crew remains in the cab, at the ready, for direct orders from Schuylkill Valley Station.
Please stay tuned for next week's LOTW for more pictures and information about the Rare NP Sharknose, which is now the 8th Sharknose (the 2nd scarcest) in my Tyco Shark roster/collection. Only 3 different types to go!

Lovely foliage, RP. That is a rarely featured scenic detail. In fact,
I was recently chatting with a former PC engineer, who spoke of
wet leaves saturating the rails requiring a pusher to get over the
hill!
(Credit: Doc Harrison, DVM) Another rare scenic detail: a cow
takes the high ground on a manure pile. Yes, they do this.

@Brian4321 The layout spans the length of the garage. Here in San Francisco, our garages are narrow but deep. It's a two car garage but the cars are parked one behind the other.
@RP I use a Polaroid Cube+. It is one inch tall and wide and it has a strong magnet on the bottom so it sticks to any flatcar that has a steel weight in it. I used a Tyco flatcar for this cab ride. Here is a pic.

Richie, boy do I like this photo. That is a great station. Even the caboose looks good. I have never seen that station and I wonder was it a kit, or ready to run? Is it new, or old? And the question other people ask. Who made it?

WKS a most professional looking wreck clearing combo has been supplied by the ANNA Railroad. Here at Bergen Point at the Frankford roundhouse, Anna locomotives are a very common sight. In fact, that locomotive was here just recently with two other GP-7's. All painted in X Santa Fe paint. And we must do something to return your GM Aero locomotive. At this time it is ready to go. Just awaiting a plain.
