Hi Bruce!

Looks like a street party!
Makes me want to go in for a frosty one.

I like the busy scene. the picture tells a story. LPB are well placed socially.
Also noticed the better figures esp the big bald guy with the wrinkles on his pants, left of center; the heavyset guy at left; and the heavyset woman at middle right. Nice to see more variety of the human form.

Oh, and the train in the street looks great too!

A rainbow of power heads over the Lehigh led by the leased BCR M630.

Hillyard,

Thanks for the comments. The people doing resin printing are doing a great job with their modeling of realistic looking figures.

Todd,

Nicely done scene.

Thanks, Bruce! I'm glad you're back on the mend! I'm gonna make a prediction that the front corner of the bridge will also have some scenery on it in the next year... It's actually fairly close to the back of the ACME...

question Bruce what do you use to secure the figures on the street?

RE: Photo Fun July 2026 - tompm - 07-04-2026

Bruce great scene.

Todd love the different locomotive schemes.

B&O 4-6-2 Pacific (International Hobby Corp) pulling 5 Heavyweights (BLI). Locomotive is at least 25 years old and has not been run in about 20 years. It took a little time to get running consistantly but once I did it was fun to see it going. The 5 heavyweights were the locomotive's limit on what it could pull. Only issue was because of it's age only the drivers picked up power from the track and there was some slowing going over the longer switches as a result.

Jim , I use a washable Elmer's glue stick.  If they are too hard to pull up, I'll use a dab of water on a paint brush to soften the glue.

Tom,

Always amazed at your collection of locomotives and rolling stock.

ok thanks in the past I have used spirit gum (stuff actors use to put on mustaches and such) but it's too hot here for that what I have been doing is using a ,010 wire in the foot of the figure and drilling a. 010 hole to mount it but your way sounds much easier.
Jim,

The crew of WPMA-29 having a chat with the  shipping foreman at Absecon Flour Mill. He's the bigger guy!

That shipping foreman is one BIG dude, Bruce....  Love that shot... 

The drone is up over the White Haven bridge today....

Tom,

Looks like some type of pump on the trailer, maybe storing water in the tank car.
