Large Scale Central

Hand laid track

Wait, what? I know nothing of this track. I still have my Shay and it needs exercise! Oh, but it’s not 16mm. That will be cool.

My Brother and SIL will be here for the reunion. We’ll look for the track!

As long as it is narrow gauge, Rob will let you run it. 45mm or 32mm gauge.

The tracks are Mike’s Aikenback Live Steamers group and many of us will be there. Tracks are set up as shown below.

Shot from my back yard this afternoon. I am still pinching myself to prove this isn’t a dream!

The video begins as #16 is out of frame, moving over to track three to approach the wye. The locomotive waits for the switch to be thrown back to the main before proceeding. I witness this move at least three times per operation day and see the train leaving for those three runs as well. You could set your watch by departure times!

@PeterT I’m not sure I will have time to run, but we will stop by.

Beautiful Jon, I hope you have many years of enjoyment there.

I would be too! It must be amazing.

Oh, I see you got that branch and brush taken care of, good job. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

PS: With that view, plus a listing of train schedules, you could probably get some decent side income by Air-B-n-B-ing your RV!

Nope. It’s all still there. I’ve investigated. It’s all tough to get to. I don’t think my pole saw will reach the branch.
