Our host Friday and Saturday Bob McCown. Having seen only pictures of small portions of Bob’s railroad, I was surprised how large it was. Thank you Bob and Martha for your hospitality! Doug, Gaetan, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Although I do not model narrow gauge, the size of the 1:20th scale motive power and rolling stock was impressive.

Doug Matheson anxiously awaiting for the railroad operations to start.

Handsome beasts these Ks.

Gaetan Charette and Ken Brunt doing a little switching work.

Gaetan Charette admiring a Bachmann C-19 with the Bumble Bee paint scheme in the engine service area of Deck on Stanley Ames Railway. Thank you Stan and Debbie! Doug, Gaetan, and I had a great time.

Another Bachmann C-19 on the turntable. I believe this is the locomotive I ran after lunch. Although it took me a while to get used to the DCC throttle, the C-19 performed flawlessly.

Great pics, Paul. Thanks. Glad you guys could make it down.

That first one of me is my “Ok, the cars are out, and I have train orders in my hands, would you guys stop jabbering, there’s work to do!” pose, I think. :slight_smile:

Hi Larry!

We went to Bob’s from Ottawa, through Montreal to pick up Gaetan. It’s about (700 K) 435 miles. It took us 10 hours on the way down with an off-highway lunch stop and construction delay. It was 9 hours home because of an hour wait at the border. We left Stan’s about 2 and I got home at 11. Well worth the drive though.

Again great pictures! Bob, I know the feeling of “everythings ready, now what’s going to break?” I’d say you guys were successful.
