Summer pics 2011 (post em' up)

The track is by Llagas Creek. Code 250 Nickel Silver rails and their “narrow gauge” ties. Expensive when compared to other brands and metals, but its looks and reliability make up for that price difference.

Layouts are looking good. Nice to see the thread come back to life again. Before you know it the fall thread will start.

Thanks.

Thanks Matt. I agree. Not including hand laid, that’s about the best looking narrow gauge track I’ve seen.

Very nice stable of locos Matt.

I almost went with Llagas Creek track, but decided to go with Sunset Valley.

I love the video, Ken.

My pics are posted in my builders log in the tracks spot.

Here are a few pictures of my Climax running on Hollywoods layout. I think my climax really liked being able to stretch out on those long straights. Coming up to the station. I should have put a sign in front saying “FIX ME”

I really love this bridge. Great place for pictures

I hear Rooster really likes this spot. Then yet what chicken doesnt like open fields. LOL

Another great looking bridge. Those Cumberland Valley guys make nice bridges

Thanks Hollywood for having me over and running my trains.

Did Hollywood tell you that Climax looks right at home! Nice pictures.

JRad · August 19, 2011, 12:54pm

Be careful when taking pictures on that high metal bridge

Trains look great Shawn !

Especially if it’s windy!

Too bad about that depot. What kind of roofing was that? Looks like it just sloughed right off.

Ray #30lb roofing felt cut into strips. put in place with roofing cement buttered onto each strip. It did not adhere well to the aluminum base.

Some people think “free range” chicken tastes the best. Its still got to be pan fried, though.

Here is a few from todays running. Was outside most of the day running trains. Couldnt ask for a better day especially with all the rain latley. Started out with some passenger service. Since it was the weekend the boys had off and the families came out to visit. (The guys put in a new wall to help keep the balast from washing out)
