A South Western Portland Cement Company two truck Shay #12 on the mainline in the Monterrey Mountains east of San Marino. I installed a Lenz mini silver decoder in the cab. I also installed MT Z scale #905 couplers on both ends of the Shay. The gears are fully operational on the engineers side of the locomotive.

Thanks Jim. The basic scenery on the layout is about 99% completed. That roundhouse photo is one of my favorites.

SP #4438 on the outer mainline track in San Marino. SP painted some of their GS-4's black during the wartime years during WWII. This is one of the black GS-4's. There is a Lenz silver mini decoder and a Soundtraxx Micro Tsunami decoder and mini oval speaker in the tender. The Lenz silver mini decoder provides the motor functions and the Soundtraxx Micro Tsunami decoder provides the sound functions. There is plenty of room in the tender for both decoders and speaker.

Steam, I love steam. I love the smell of coal smoke and hot oil. Hot nasty grease smells great as well.

I smell all those Bob when I look at pictures of your layout.

Looking very good my friend.

Thanks Leo. Glad to see you back on this forum. We spent many years talking on the old Whistle Post Forum. You've made tremendous progress on your layout.

Thanks for your comments Tom. Many of the steam locomotives on the "new" JJJ&E are oil burners as well. I've casted a part to replace the coal loads of many of my steamers to oil burners.
