Nothing to see here folks, move along.......

This pretty much says it all........Yeah, not much to say this time around, but lest it be said that I have forsaken my blog, I felt it necessary to stop in a say hello......

About the closest thing I have done with the layout in well over a month is to purchase four new Broadway Limited NYC boxcars from my good friend Dave Ramos at his last op session. How does that classify as doing anything with the layout? Well, I put one of the cars on the layout and rolled it back and forth......

Speaking of Dave's layout, here's a few photos to keep ya busy......


Carfloats seem to get everybody talking......


NYC's 30th St. yard



Erie's W.28th St. yard



Jim D. and Perry S. seem to be enjoying the job at the LV's W.27th St. yard



Street level view of the NYC running down 12th Ave, and in front of the Erie's yard



"All the world's a stage(ing)"


"The Hands of God", aka Tom C., aka The Loveable Leprechaun, working the Erie's carfloat


Two Teds, no waiting! Ted D (left) and Ted P. (right) weigh their options, as Superintendent Ramos mans the NYC active staging yard in the background.

Jim D. works the LV carfloat as Tony K. chats in the background.



Perry S. and Jim D. plot their next moves within the confines of the Starrett Lehigh Building, as Tony K. "observes".



Looking down the NYC's "High Line" far above the 30th St. yard.



Scott D., Rich T., Neil H. (being anti-social with his back to the camera!), and Tom C. (hiding behind the pole guarding his carfloat and his gold!) strike a pose for the camera.....Seems that Ed K. is the only one busy working!


So, that's it...Make sure you visit Dave's website at http://www.nyhrr.com/ for more goodies.


Till next time.....
