Rooster’s gonna be there? That’s just wrong.
Not to worry, John, He always says that, then never shows up.
You lied to John …the Devil awaits you !
Thanks for the pix Roos. Aaron just sent me about a hunnert…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
More pix from yesterday:
The “gab session” before the work begins.
Left to right: Tom Legal, Barry Birkett, one of our Canadian visitors, and Ric Golding.
And the confusion, err, session begins.
Doug Matheson, another Canadian visitor, and Tom work Hesperus.
The Southern Pacific even made an appearance, a first on the RGS.
Caught in the act…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Thought he could sneak away unnoticed…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
The afternoon session added a passenger train. Just to add to the confusion.
Bob Hyman didn’t make it this year, but he was in our thoughts.
John LeF, Bruce Chandler and Doug working the yard in Delores.
Ric, Steve MacKenzie and (?) relax after a hard days work.
Couldn’t have asked for better weather, but it clouded up and rained during dinner. Supposed to be cloudy and cooler today, so we shall see how it goes.
And a few more that Aaron Loyet sent me:
More to follow…
Saturday was great! Ran a local freight with Daktah Jon, saw Aaron fort he first time in a year, “The Dave’s” made a showing and lots of fun. Maybe a little cooler, but today should prove another good event.
Had to thank Rooster for what was deleted. The man has damaging footage, that could ruin future invites. Ahh the price of the people you hang with. Its good to be around great friends and then you find out there is a “National Enquire” reporter amongst your friends, ready to profit on any little piece of dirt. Pure Chicken Sh*t! But its what we live with. Kassie almost gotta a drumstick.
Adding more from yesterday …just random pics.
Blurry pic showing a possible guilty person?

Everyone signed my ass today as well
Thank you, everyone for contributing pictures, so we who couldn’t be there could enjoy the great occasion too.
One Question ? How come there was no picture of Dave Marconi, or has he drastically changed his appearance, and I didn’t recognise him ?
Fred Mills
These are some nice low level shots.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Ahhh, I missed him…
He was there, and appears to be in good health…Thank you.

Great pictures!! look forward to more from Sunday. nice to be able to put faces and names together. What happened with the SP loco, why was it on its side, and why did the camera suddenly go blurry. Better watch yourself Rooster, or a sudden “accident” may happen if they dont want the truth to get out!
Upon my arrival the driveway was a bit crowded.
A couple foreigners on the pike across from the new backdrop
The new back drop really adds to the area
Now you won’t see this lash up very often.
Looks like the crews have gone off to the diner.
That car got away from me but seems to be in good shape.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
And the crews are back to their trains.
The moss has really filled in the pike.
Always throw a priority passenger train in to disrupt the flow.
Looks like someone took off to the neighbors.
I certainly enjoyed the time there meeting new and talking with old acquaintances. Great day and thank you for the invite Ken (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
I add my thanks to those who posted photos here for the ‘absent brethren’ to enjoy. It certainly looked like everyone had a great time. Great achievement Ken.
It’s just insidious…that’s what it is…
I’m almost certain that they are plotting a takeover of the WORLD!(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
L-R: Ken, John, Ric, Jon
The “World” as we know it:
Obviously, Ken has mastered the art of scenery to scale outdoors. Yet, he won’t divulge his secrets…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
And, there’s other nefarious characters afoot…
L-R: Ken, Jon “Shadow has me wrapped around”, and “some guy that thought he would look a LOT more respectable if he would only shave” (but was wrong!!!) (AKA, Ric Golding!!!) (Yeah, I don’t get it either!)
And the ladies that support us:
L-R: Marilyn Radder, Jan Golding, Jean Chandler
Our host, Ken, busting his butt to make that dang switch be a little bit more user-freindly…
A surprise guest: A man that needs no introduction, but demands it anyway, we have our very own “Rooster” (oh, and that’s Doug Matheson who is obviously trying to steal the show from Rooster…)
And, at least he succeeds! L-R: Doug, Ken, Johnny “Chuff Chuff” comple with some serious side burns…
Oh my. What a time!
Here we have “Partial” Jon and Ken…
I do have some other pics, but it sure looks like I have some sort of propensity towards taking shots of folks BACKS!!! (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)
Anyway, congratulations to Ken for stepping up and hosting such a wonderful event! Well done, my friend!

Richard is obviously not a “LEG” man. (Wow, where is that leg lamp guy when we need him???)
