Nothing like capturing a steel giant breaking the darkness of the night at an ungodly hour.. this is CSX L005 the midnight train arriving at its interchange in Attleboro.

A recent long awaited project almost complete.. I struggled taking apart this MTH FEC engine.. so I thought it would look great as a scrap load.

I just found the coolest spot for Diecast vehicles in Massachusetts! Yesterday I stopped by Pete’s Model Garage in Lakeville Mass. They had every scale you could think of 1/76, 1/87, 1/64, 1/24, 1/43 and more! The shop is hidden just off the road but Pete’s is worth a quick visit and the owner is super nice!

Stumbled upon this awesome model train store called Grandpas Trains & Hobbies! They mainly carry Lionel and O Scales trains but this place is a hidden gem for model railroaders in Southeastern Mass! I saw some fantastic deals and even admired the Lionel themed walls and decor! Make sure to check this place out!
