Beautiful pictures David . Today I was train watching , CSX Howell yards , Evansville In . Whats the chances out of almost 4000 locomotives , these three would all be coupled together ., SW 1500’s , 1100, 1101 , 1102 …I saw 1100 on the North side yesterday , saw it again today at Howell , stopped at the hobby shop , and a new Athearn SW 1500 , CSX 1100 , in HO , went home with me , it was a omen !

sorry I did not get pics of the Evansville Western train also , just could not get in place . A beautiful day
Dennis,
Thanks for the reply!
I was kinda hoping this thread would bring some more shots/pics by now but I guess more important issues need to be discussed on a “Large Scale Model RR” site?

No Trains Running on this fine day(yet), but did jump out for a pic for this thread!

Here is a shot of freshly laid track, in need of final ballast. I spent some much needed time tweaking this track compared to the earlier line…my Annie now runs FLAWLESSLY! wow, that is a first! Outside loop down, now onto inner figure 8’s! cale
Spring? Spring, you say??? Yeah, right. Tell that to the 3" of snow that fell on the railroad overnight. We’ve gotten more snow this “spring” than we did all flippin’ winter! One would hope it’s good for the plants, but I know I’ve got a dozen or so bushes that aren’t coming back… Spring? Bah Humbug!
Later,
K

Cool, Just in time for the nice weather. Now you can run some trains while working on the inside line. Ralph
Some really beautiful layouts out there, except for Kevin’s. Kevn, you gotta rethink that white color scheme! David that viaduct looks fantastic! We have some swimmers showing up, and of course spring cleaning going on:

Brrrr. Looks like Idaho picnic weather. Cold. Is this a polar bear outing?
Nice shots. I will try to get some tomorrow. We have finally warmed up the last 4 days. Temps hit low 90’s. The normal temp should be in the 60’s for this time of year. Just in the last few days everything started to sprout up. No trains running been away on training but tomorrow trains will be running
FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks Guys!! keep em’ coming!
Kevin, you could always move back to your native territory?

You couldn’t remove my smile with a jack hammer right now!
