SPRING RUN

Finally got around to starting the spring cleanup of the railroad today so I thought it would be a good idea to get the MoW train out and run it while cleaning. Naturally I had to take a few pictures.


!

Thanks for taking a look.
Rick

Looks great - thanks for sharing.

Nice!

That’s a real fine looking train you have there Rick. Very nice indeed.

Rick,

That is one beautiful bridge.

Nico

Great looking models!

I’m impressed!

Very nice. Cant wait to see green around here.

nice looking cleanup train… :slight_smile:

Looks great Rick - love the bridge. Somehow it really works with the 1:1 background road and trees.

Very nice shots, Rick… (http://freightsheds.largescalecentral.com/users/noelw/smilies/2eatingpopcorn.gif)

Spring time on the Little River RR saw a lot of action at Nelson’s Gap. Here is #2147 working the first load of logs this spring from the last cutting before the winter snows.

Nice pictures. Tom I cant wait to see some green on my layout. Some of my sedums are coming up but no floweres yet.

Here’s a few that haven’t been posted elsewhere.

On Saturday the guys pose the new caboose for a roster shot in front of a newly rebuilt section of track. Those rocks in the foreground are new and they are like the Titanic Iceberg - only a small portion is visible above the surface…

There are other places to post G-scale train pictures?

Another 6-12 inches of snow here today…Spring seems a long way off. Keep the pictures coming so I know what I’m missing!
