Large Scale Central

PVRR excursion to Cumming, Georgia

General Discussion
#1

The President and CFO of the Pacolet Valley Railroad decided it was time for a road trip. As the PVRR has no “President’s” car, the PVRR coupled it’s engine to an observation car and hit the rails. Our destination was the “Dakota & Southern”, RJ DeBerg’s railroad in Cumming, Georgia. Of course, as with any road trip, something goes wrong. Lights on the loco mysteriously quit working. Fortunately, a minor problem that didn’t curtail operations.

Sorry to those with small monitors or slow connections for the large pictures. Somewhere in the process of going through hundreds of pictures my “resizer” switched and I wasn’t about to go through it and do them all over again. Many thanks to RJ for graciously allowing our visit. The PVRR looks forward to a return visit on the Dakota & Southern. Ralph

RJ runs DCC and mostly QSI, which sounded great on his Diesels. It was great to meet RJ and I enjoyed shootin the bull with him. Ralph
