AHhhhhh Boss. Where’s the (Amtrak) station? We’re going to need a station!!!
This pretty much sums up my spring run experience this year…
The only thing missing from the picture is the wheelbarrow that I run with.

Spring comes later here in the far north but it does come!
JUST BEAUTIFUL Shawn!(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif) Great background.
Spring pictures of the Bluestone Southern are located in the ““Operations”” section…
Don’t want to double post pictures… http://www.largescalecentral.com/forums/topic/23694/bluestone-southern-2-3-may-operations
Maybe not the most interesting photos, but here are a couple of shots from the Somerville & St. Francis River Railway, taken about a week ago:
These are a pair of LGB GSC 53’ flatcars that I just finished up detailing and lowering with new trucks, grabs, and side steps, as well as the usual addition of brake hoses, lift bars and Kadees. I also snipped the tabs that clip the decks in place, meaning now that are easily removable, allowing us to swap a loaded deck for an empty deck as we need for our ops sessions.
Best wishes,
G
My railroad is still heavily under construction, but this weekend I hit a big milestone and finished the rock and gravel on one end of the rail line. I had to do a victory lap, or at least half of one.
Looks good Mike, Is that real coal around the mountain?
Thanks. It’s black rundle, but coal would have been a neat idea.
Hey Mike it’s nice to see you over on this site. I watched your progress on the Aristo site up until a short time ago. The layout is looking good. My handle over there was cncrailroad.

Thanks Chuck. I plan to be more active over here than I’ve been.
Tonight I got the “I don’t know why local” running.
The reason I call it the “I don’t know why local” is because;
When St Aubins was having their going out of business sale at the ECLSTS I bought the 3 long Heartland coaches. How long ago was that? I bought them, but I don’t know why.
I bid on, and won, a collection of Bachmann stuff last year, and in that stuff was 2 Bachamnn tenders, I don’t know why.
I bid on, and won, an old LGB Mogul, that looked to have very little run time on it. I don’t know why.
And its a local, because my railroad doesn’t do anything “express”.
So there it is, an LGB Mogul, with a Bachamann tender, pulling a trio of Heartland coaches. It looks good to me, but I still don’t know why I collected these things, at different times, to end up putting this train together.
I don’t know why, but it looks good (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Why, I don’t know, because. First, second and third base. Now you know.
Thanks John.
Steve, the reason why, or at lest the reason I told myself why when I made the individual purchases, was that the price was right (cheep). But I really can’t call the train “The Price is Right Local”. Something about trademark and copyright infringements. Besides, if I called it that, I would need a conductor that looked like Bob Barker did back when he was doing that show.

Why? Why not.
The yellow train really looks good against the green background. Thanks for posting.
David,
I really like the looks of that train. Well done.
No 20 got the call today.
