The coaling tower in Leetown is always a great spot to catch the action in the yard.

Ed - Nifty black and white shot.

Bruce - I can't get enough Conrail blue.

I finally got around to testing this one. It has been sitting unopened since I got at the Greenberg Show from January.
New Haven PA1 (Rapido) arrives at the station as a trailer train passes.

Hi Bruce and Tom---thank you for your kind comments.During the steam era I image colour film was very expensive so most of the photographs from that period were black and white so I have tried to create realistic scenes using the black/white images as well.
Tom---Rapido is one of my favourite model manufacturers---your PA is another example of their great products.

Here's another scene of Leetwon in the 50's.

Just returned to  Big Blue Trains (was in the old "Gauge" forum some time ago. I found this photo of the Blue boxcar that was making the rounds in 2002-2003. It was on my layout on May 1, 2003.
