Not much changed for me. Rain possible so probably no Wedding Presents Mountains moved today. Did do an inner loop that can be run seperate from the outer loop except when the lighted cabooses cross the insulted sections it entergizes the other section. Pigseye, like your "power".

[ChiefEagles]

Well some things changed since I posted above. A little track work and then some re-work and rewiring and guess what???????


Two NS SD90's pulling long loaded coal train [12 hopper cars load with coal]


another view of the long coal train


High speed freight pass slow coal drag through the pass of Wedding Presents Mountains on the Chief Eagles Short Line Railroad. [both being run on DCS remote in digital]



Same trains on the other side of the mountains.

Had to remove the switch stands to get engines to clear. Used some of my old remote switches first but still rubbed switch motors so went to manual. I even ran the engines with separate trains on the inner loop at the same time. That was fun!!!!!! Then did the same on the outer loop. Then as pictured, separate on both loops. Can get busy on that short of a track. [:D]

Hi All,
I received these pics from Bobo3 and wanted to share them with you. He has done a great job on his circus part of his layout.










And here is some of his layout






I only wish my circus look this good.

Love the videos Tom. It's nice to have you around to feed my ever growing steam addiction.

You and Spanky look like you are having a good time.

[spankybird]

Thanks Big Girl,

You will have to convince Big Boy to buy you at lest one steamer for his layout. [swg]

Spanky loves to sit on my shoulder when I run the trains. He even does a whistle sound. [:-^]

I FORGOT WHAT COMPUTER I WAS ON[banghead][D)][D)] -THIS MESSAGE IS FROM BIG_GIRL_4005-[#oops][:0] Darn---I could have used the post count -[;)][;)][sigh]

Spanky did look pretty excited , I could see him bobbing up and down. My oldest brother had a parrot named Fred for quite a long time. He a good talker and if he couldn't fnd him right off hand would walk through the house doing their "whistle" until my brother answered back.

That bird only wanted something to do with you if you were taking him over to my brother-once you were there watch your fingers[:0].

I'm doubly glad the 261 came on this trip--now he has a legitimate excuse for steam on his layout.
Thanks again for the vids
