Sunday Photo Fun
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, June 13, 2004 12:56 AM
The BNSF is roundin the curve at Lake Cocolalla, Idaho. Headed south. We get 30-40 trains daily through here. There is about a 35 mi. stretch from Coeur D Alene to Bonners Ferry that follows the BNSFtracks. Hundreds of good train watching places . I live 3 miles up the hill on the left. In the 3 miles we go up 1500 ft. in elevation. Can anyone calculate what grade that is?.. Tim

Hi all,

This week we wanted to share some of our flat cars with autos. Even thou this doesn’t fit the time frame of our layout, I like them because of the diecast cars. Some of these we bought for the cars and at some of the prices we paid, it was basically for the cars and the flat car was just part of the deal.

Hi all,

Here is some of the pics that I took of the Royal Canadan 2816 as it came thru Willoughby, OH today.

It was being pulled by a diesel and was just along for the ride today.

Jerry, what size is your layout? Are the curves O27 or larger?

Here's a picture of the "innards" of an engine I am upgrading to TMCC for a member of the OGR forum.

Sorry for the really, really, really, really bad quality of the photo. I'm almost embarrased to show it.
