I finally got the snow cleared off the line, and all the twigs from the storms since before Christmas. Time to run a train!
OUTSTANDING! (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)(https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)(https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
Eric, That video is sooooo cool, and I’m not referring to the temperature. As always your layout is awesome and your cinematography is amazing. I had to watch the video several times. I would have to give you a perfect 10! Thanks for sharing. Mark
Great vid! I like the dory on the flat car.
Thanks guys it is fun to run steam in the snow! Today i worked full scale. I didnt actually run the train but it sure looked good i the snow! Ill post a photo in a bit!
P.S. the boat is technically not a dory but a Whitehall pulling boat. Dorys are built differently with a wide flat bottom. A more basic and utilitarian vessel. Whitehalls were fancier and intended as efficient rowing boats.

the ice finally melted off the line … AND the sun came out. a perfect day to run a train … well almost perfect.
Nice. That white house blows me away every time I see it (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
Eric that whistle reminds me so much of this…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki-3NyJZRJ4....if you haven’t been there you really should check it out as it was Abe Lincolns route to Gettysburg for the address …My video sucks as I forgot to turn off numerous features on a new camera I still don’t understand. Hollywood left his camera on a stump at the crossing …WTF?

Great stuff Eric and I don’t even like steam!
What happened at the end? (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cry.gif)

Oh, you know, just the usual. This is a spring switch, but there was ice some where that prevented it from completely flipping to the diverging route.
Gremlins…

well we had some more snow then some warm rain overnight soooo…
I took my Dora Rail bus out for a spin. it was a nice sunny afternoon. The driveway is a sheet of ice, some snow still around but walking is dangerous with out cleats on your feet!
