[img/] Operations under catenary in the winter … and yes I leave the rolling stock out in the yards ALL the time , to naturally weather them .

Very nice! It’s funny, but the snow always seems to make garden railroads look more real to me. I guess it scales well.

Dennis ,
My immediate reaction was that you had taken them in CH , they are very good . Nicely posed —was that deliberate parking like that , or were you lucky ?
Whatever , they are very nice .

Well yes, when it’s just a dusting :slight_smile: I’ve many pictures of my plow trying to deal with 20 scale feet of snow. Looks pretty, but not real…

This year I’ve yet to see even a dusting last long enough to get a picture. Here it is Ground Hog day and there’s no snow here in Southwestern Connecticut. JR

You had too much snow , wow . But I found some pictures of the Darlington Railway in the 07 blizzard …

Nice! Nice! Nice! Dennis. I especially like the ones of car 101. I assume you scratchbuilt that beauty?

Thank you a lot , but no , it is a Hartland interurban , they work well for me , till maybe AMS starts making 1/29th interurbans , and then they would be a gotta have .
I think Accucraft / AMS , makes some really good looking equiptment .
But they are all fun to amuse ourselves with .

Dennis, your photography is terrific! I like the low angles, really goes a long ways to making it look real.

Nice, here are some of ours.
