I always reserve Chessie Night for the day I'm tearing down a layout.

Freakin' nuts that "the 90s" were that long ago :facepalm:

It was a weird day when I realized that Star Trek:TNG is older now than The Original Series was when TNG was on.

And I watched both as originally broadcast. F*ck, I'm old...

I try to keep my accomplishments in perspective by remembering that by the time John Lennon was my age, he'd been dead for 15 years.

At around 6 p.m., the afternoon sun dips down to just the right angle to illuminate one end of the layout, providing an opportunity to capture some "Golden Hour" glam shots of my Golden Oldies...







Forgive the Geep in the river... I only have about 15 minutes to work and by the time I noticed it, the sunlight was GONE!
This will probably be the next area where I tackle some more detailed scenery.  As the equinox gives way to the solstice, I'll have more time to take pictures, so I want to have a nice scene there in which to do so!

The Wizard of the Woods strikes again!

I like that 👍👍  In the 1950's through the early 1970's Model Railroader had the Wizard of Monterey and The Railwire has "The Wizard of the Woods"  👍👍

Not to steal your thread Lee, the "Golden Hour" Glam locomotive photo's look great 👍

It looks really good when I have one of my streamline stainless passenger trains running.  The sun glints off the corrugated sides just right, and windows flash by appropriately!

A little overcast today, so I don't think there will be much of a show this afternoon.  Plus I haven't run the trains in two days...  I plan to work on them tonite, maybe painting some rails and adding ballast...
