Looks like a "Cupola Cam" is a handy thing to have, especially when it's raining!

Fun film!  Thanks for posting it!

I know it hasn't been very long, but I just don't feel like I'll ever grow tired of watching 1309!  Bow  That "excursion car" right behind the tender is quite unique!  Big Smile

Thanks folks. Actually, the #803 "Open Air" car was designed by yours truly. It was fabricated out of a former Cincinnati commuter car. I spent 8 weeks in the summer of 2020 grinding, needle filing, and fabricating on it. It's gratifying to see folks enjoying it, and I like teasing the passengers who wear white while they're waiting to leave the station.

KRM - I may have trains to climb on, but you have a fine collection of big-boy-toys to ride on. Smile, Wink & Grin
