I missed these until just now, good stuff, David. What is the 2nd loco in the middle picture?

Thanks Ike! That would be a Ferromex.

I was doubly happy when the end rolled around and one of the rear locos was an old Southern Pacific, still sporting the old paint scheme with a UP patch. The Southern Pacific ceased to exist after 1996, I was quite surprised to see a unit that had not been repainted. According to Wikipedia, only 10 or less still exist. This one has the "bloody nose" paint scheme.

I picked up a trestle set and incorporated it into the layout. It was pretty tricky trying to get everything to fit correctly.

Wow! That's a real cool layout you have going there John! You may have to expand it soon.

Thanks, Tom. I tried going vertical, I guess the next option is to add another platform.

If you pay for the plane ticket, I'll be glad to help you with the clean up operations.

Ha!!! I love watching those reruns. Robert is the only cast person still kicking and I think he's in his 90's. Hogan's crew would have blown up the whole layout!

My FIL and I both love Hogan's Heroes and we slide it in here and there when we're visiting. Like if we're having a BBQ and my hot dog isn't grilled enough, I might say something in my best General Burkhalter like "Well....I see my food isn't quite grilled the way I like it. Maybe you'd do better thawing out hot dogs...ON THE RUSSIAN FRONT!"
