And prayed it wouldn’t rain…:wink:

Good stuff guys. Less then a month left of summer and it will be onto the fall picture tread. The Kittatinny Mt RR is starting to see the changes already. Birds are migrating, some of the weaker trees are showing there color and nights are getting into the 40’s.

Nice, Bart…

Fine day for an Ops session…:wink:

Nice pics Ken love the weathering on the box cars.

Nice job, Ken!

I can’t seem to find the time to build, run, then take pictures, then find time to post them!

Neither can Ken…those were actually taken last year by someone else and he’s just now getting them posted…

The “Tyco freight” enters the newly constructed “Beggar’s Canyon”…97 degrees with 80% humidity, summer running indeed!

Who makes that caboose? I’m having a hard time identifying it. Maybe a Sheridan kit? It looks to be 1:22.5 which really peaked my interest.

Very nice model.

ME…:wink:

It’s a bashed Bachmann center cupola caboose.

Ron, did you hijack some of those workers from Doc’s Little River RR? They look might familiar :slight_smile: Nice pictures too!

Thanks Jon, they are moonlighting, LOL.:wink:

The Cricket looks great pulling those cars. The little details add to it.

Thanks, Shawn, Got the idea from you :slight_smile:

Great stuff guys!
