Here are some pics of a Lionel Flying Yankee - 1937 vintage.

Nice shots. I always wanted one of those for use on my Christmas layout but never could find an original (pre-war) one in good condition at a price I could afford. Yours looks in awfully good condition...did you have it rebabbed or something?

It is all original. This was a very generous donation made to our museum.

Cool stuff everyone! Spankybird, I can feel the speed of that Flying Yankee!

Here's a recently completed abandoned structure across the road from my engine yard. That's an old washed out Texaco sign between the buildings.

Large urban industries dominate the skyline in this view from within the railroad cut carrying the Hudson Highlands trackage in Jacksboro, NY, circa 1941.

Here are a couple of progress pics of the RG&S service facility. This is a Diamond scale kit which includes the sanding towers and the fuel facilities. I've done a lot of work, but am no where near done

Conrail local 7966 tied up so the crew could go for beans..

I went to the train flea market at the State Fairgrounds Saturday and almost left without purchasing anything until my wife saw this Maintenance of Way car and insisted it would look good on the layout. I liked the crane and it matches another Pennsy MOW car I have that is actually a track cleaner.

We also bought a digital camera Saturday! This is my first pic as I enter the 21st century!
