Ralph that is a realy good question.
Well, I took pictures of these guys at the show so everyone would know what they looked like, but I see there are already posts of these cute faces. ASAP I will post the pix I got of a couple of Ma&Pa boxcars I found on a siding on North York.
Found another picture.
Don “Doc” Watson and Bruce Chandler.

Did they all manage to sleep on that one bed…?..!!

Our pictures have many times become related to the trip, more than just the ECLSTS. Please check here, if interested.

After the show, which was really a great time of seeing friends and meeting new people, we were off to Dave Marconi’s and Ken Brunt’s to see the progress on these railroads.
Hollywood was close to York and we went there first.
Great new layout. Pictures will be posted, stay tuned.
Kevin Strong, Can you, or another one of the EBT enthusiasts, give any history to this building, located at the northern entrance to the Sidling Hill Tunnel?

Pictures are in Jan’s “Freight Shed”, but I’m asking the question. Smooth Sailing, Ric Golding Kaskaskia Valley Railway Carlyle, Illinois
Our Sunday morning adventure led us to the Marconi estate. Dave’s layout is new, but has established its spot on the property. He has a great screened in porch, that is a perfect “man cave” and a great place to work on the railroad.

There are two loops that intertwine and will eventually connect at the station area. With the property Dave has, there is plenty of room for expansion and a incline to the northeast that will require back and forth mileage to climb. Rooster brought his Amtrak engine and super liners and if he didn’t try to run them at warp speed, they tracked very well.

A favorite picture from the morning, that certainly states the mood was Jane Clarke enjoying the moment and soaking up the sun.

The KVRwy M-9 did get some track time and there was a photo stop.

and as we headed southeast to Ken’s, Rooster’s train made another round.

Our next stop was the Brunt’s. The expansion is evident as you enter the back yard.

The KVRwy M-9 pulled in to the siding for a photo shot next to the “Golding Freight Transfer”.

Oh No!
Not the dreaded Lionelitus Syndrome!
It will take years of therapy to cure this!

Ric - I’ve seen it while on a Chris Coleman tour. I do not believe it was a railroad structure, just an abandon house. I bet you didn’t know that if you had followed the track another 250 feet the other way from the road you would have come to the only extant tank on the line :o

I really didn’t think I had them running at warp speed? Modern passenger trains do travel at 80 too 100mph?
