New Engine arrived on the KMRR

About a year ago Mr John Bouck had an old kalamazoo 4-4-0 engine sitting in the yard back in Washington State. Mr Bouck was kind enough to ship it to jersey, free of charge. It needed a lot of work done to it to make it operational on the KMRR. The guys spent the winter getting the needed parts so they can get it to run. Back in its day the engine was kept nice and hauled passenger trains through Washington state. Now it will spend the rest of its life hauling logs. (the engine runs off battery power using the critter control. The barrel on the tender is the control knob while the light on the tender covers the on/off switch as well as the foward/reverse switch. I added metal wheels to the front trucks. Details where added to give it a more realistic look or more to KMRR standards). Here are a few shots hauling some empty log cars.

The guys also built a new church. Now the guys from Camp have somewhere to go on Sundays. (It use to be a Piko western style school house but I cout the front off and repainted it).

Hey Shawn the locomotive looks great, but I think your engineer must of had to much to drink the night before. In the second picture he must of fell off because he’s laying in the weeds off to the right. LOL I’ll make sure Mr. Bouck see’s your creation I’ll see him this week.

Nice work, Shawn.

Two more fine additions to the pike Shawn :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Quite the fleet you’re acquiring there, Shawn.

You really think any of those loggers will be sobered up enough on Sunday morning to even find the church, let alone attend??

The new-to-you loco looks great. Excellent job personalizing it for your railroad. The spring blooms look great too.

Shawn, nice looking Loco… :slight_smile:

About the best looking Kalamazoo 4-4-0 I’ve ever seen! Very nice.

The garden’s looking beautiful, too, picture 8, and also 10 with that blue sky especially! Tks for posting Shawn!

I’m glad you liked it, Shawn.
Nice bash.
I’ll have to send you something else to see what becomes of it.

LOL The guys were heading your way for some southern wood. They should have arrived by now. Unless that bandit Aka Rooster held it up.
