I don’t know if I am really authorized to start the “official” Running photos thread but I did run and it is fall and I did take some photos
Fairymead on the new store siding.
rounding the Quebec return loop
The first person to post photos in the new season is the one authorized to start the thread. It says so, right here. Looks like that was you. Good lookin’ pics. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Eric,
You have Steve’s permission!
Great fall picture!
While waiting for my oldest to drop by on Sunday for a long overdue visit I decided to take the live steam Shay out for a spin. Controlling it while managing a camera proved to be more that I could handle, so I only got a few shots…
Nice photos guys. Looks like you got them in just before the rain.
Ya done good John(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Nice !!!
I had a good run for a change. Didn’t derail it until I split a switch inside on the way home. At that point I was ready to shut it down anyway. However, the day was not without excitement. When doing my after-run service my steam oil syringe broke causing me to spill steam oil into the basement sink. A fun mess to clean up (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)
Nice looking Shay, John! I usually skip the syringe on shut down…opting to simply open the drain on the bottom of the lubricator allowing the remnants to spill onto a paper towel. Meanwhile, you can steam clean the lubricator by setting the revereser to neutral and opening up the throttle briefly.
Great looking pictures!!! Keep them coming.

That’s how I drain it too. The syringe is for re-filling with steam oil. I always store it ready to fire; full of water, oil and gas. At least what I spileld was my 2 ounce container, not the quart bottle!
I had some time to run my Climax (shut up Rooster) yesterday. In a few weeks the leaves will start falling so I better get my running in before that happens.

It all depends on where your RR is located, my friend. I live in Florida and I run my RR almost every day of the year! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Lol Eric sometimes I think we are. Joe must be in good shape if he runs every day. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)Besides it didnt happen unless you post pictures…
I dont get a chance to run every day but all year round I do run!

Eric love the spring shot. I have to admit I love running trains in the snow.
