Here’s a few that haven’t been posted elsewhere.
There are other places to post G-scale train pictures?
Not that I’m aware of :] I was referring to a different thread.
Guilty …so I suggest some time in the stockade ,high noon , town square!
Really nice Spring photos posted here. The garden is still slow here on the Cape but here is a recent photo that I thought about sending into the HLW contest.

Nice shots so far. I ran for a few hours yesterday anmd last night with my little one.
Im still waiting for things the green up and flower. My bluets just started to come out and the creeping Phlox is getting ready to flower. Hopefully in another week. The winds finally settled down but mornings are still cold and frosty.
Maybe Ill get some shots today.
I promised some pictures of my run today. Weather was nice out although had a cool breeze but still felt nice out. I took the Cricket out for a run. Steam plumes not nearly as good as in the winter.

Yup - One went to New Jersey and the other to Canada. No word if either of them still run.
We will see them again …I can feel it!
My wife and I spent some time this last weekend doing some Spring cleaning on the railroad. My wife weeded and planted more flowers in the large front section while I repaired broken ties from the deer and reattached track sections that came apart. I also installed 2 switches to re-create some sidings. Not quite ready to run but I have attached a few pictures.

There is no White Rock on the WI&M. I copied this puzzle from Dave Goodson’s Colorado Consolidated Railway. To shunt the cars into the right spot takes an agile mind.
