Completed the mainline today and ran an inspection train to check bridge, trestle and trackwork.
Fine job,
It’s always nice to get things “hooked up” and finally run

Looking real good Randy! I think your guys are going to need some rather large equipment to load this nice piece of timber on to the train

Whoops Jon…Might have to get Shawn over to move that. BTW the TE is working great as well!
Very nice, Randy!
The Bug Mauler being the test engine makes me chuckle as I can just here the forman telling "The don’t send the brand new engine over! Send the oldest one over! "
Awesome!!!

Congrats, Randy… Nice shots and railroad…
Oh what a feeling! It does look good.
Thanks guys, it’s great to be able to run some trains. Now onto add some sidings and industries.
@Bruce I know you used AMS 250 on your RR like I am using. How long before it loses the ‘shiny gold look’?
You’ve been busy!
Nice Job. AAA+++

It depends…but I’m not sure on what.
I started seeing changes in just a few months and now that it’s been down for years it’s got a real nice dark color.
