Travelogue

 Well, I was asked to provide some pictures of the layout to a fellow who is doing a presentation of PRR in O scale to the PRRT&HS meeting this May. So, these shots are just a walk around the layout as it is now for you to enjoy. We start in the diesel shop area were some Alco's and A Trainmaster are being serviced
 Here is another view looking in to the fueling area.
 Over by the location of the future diesel shop, we see some EMD units, including FP7's at rest.
 A closer view. The hostler better be careful about the positioning of that last unit!
 A shot including an Alco PA set.
 We move ontot he yard where business is a little light on the east end of the yard.
 Further on, we see some new TOFC equipment
 Getting into the heart of the yard, more conventional equipment of our interchange partners come in to view.
 Some new pipe heading west on FM flat cars
 A double headed freight off the branch is on the arrival track.
 A freight is being switched in the yard while that freight awaits its turn.
 Up on the branch, some cabins await assignment.
 A freight is leaving Weigh Scales for a trip up to  Mt. Carmel.
 Some hoppers waiting to be sent out to local mines
 A local enters Weigh Scales from the west
 Another train comes up through Paxinos.
 Looking forward, more of the train is in sight
 More cars
 How long do I have to wait at the crossing!
 Seems forever, no wonder it takes four engines!
 I think the end is in sight.
 Finally entering Weigh Scales
 Making up another train
 Heading west
 Overview of the west end of the yard.
