Your prolly right Ralph, we'll see what happens tomorrow nite, check in with us, I kinda got things straightened out here in the middle of the country, not sure if Noely got straightened out on the left coast or not yet!! We can get together and see what happens. I'll probably be there and show some things i've been holding back, I haven't gotten out to video the new pass train yet, ready to go, just haven't had the weather to do so. Everyday threat of bad weather then towards evening nothing happens said rain and 50mph winds today Thursday, and no go. Busy doing things that needed to be done so still haven't gotten it out yet, possibly tomorrow if all goes well on Friday. Anyways check in i'll probably show up to see if anybody else does!! Hah LOL Regal

Looking good Geoff

We are honored.

They also had to move some freight around today to make some more money to pay for all the up grades. here is the PA/PB being put to work moving a mix with mostly coal cars.

Very nice Geoff.

Nice pics Geoff. Sure would like to see that PA/PB pulling some passenger cars though :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Those building look right at home Geoff!
I don’t have my buildings up yet but I did celebrate Train Day by getting power to 200’ of mainline so I got to make some short “runs.” Hopefully I’ll get the rest of the blocks finished on the rest of the mainline this week and start on the sidings.
Today I’m off to the club layout to start laying out two towns. I also have to lay mine out in my “spare” time!

working on that but have to put new windows in the house and a roof on first. Then again you could always build me a nice set of say 8 MoPac cars. :)

Can’t run trains. A dog(I presume) decided to wrestle with my finished loop. Found it pretty mangled and shifted over about 4 feet. Most of the buried power wires were pulled up. Don’t think it was one of my two dogs. They don’t even walk in the train area. We do have several of the neighbors dogs who like to come “visit”. Anyway, things are in bloom on the RR now, and may not be when I get things fixed up in a week or so. Ralph Ice plant blooming. It will bloom all Summer, but not always this heavy.

great pics, david…

However, The Amtrak cars might run better, if ya put them on the track, not scattered all over it… :slight_smile:

Lookin’ good Rooster I like that overhead shot. Think you ought to stick to freight operations though :slight_smile: :wink:

The derail was two months ago after it hit “Shorty” (the schipperke) at 103mph…Thought I would sneak that one in there as they sorta fell quite nicely. Can’t blame the 1500 series MHC for that one.

Great pictures. Your layout looks awsome. I have to take a trip down that way this summer. That is if you dont mind a jersey boy visiting.

The RR really looks great with the plants all growing. Were any passengers killed in the Shorty incident?
