Here are some photos from our trip to Alaska...

Brace of Alaska GPs(?) switching at Whittier on Prince William Sound...







A typical Alaska RR passenger train at Whittier station (shed), GP at lead and a Budd RDC at the tail. Note the exhaust, both the GP and RDC are running.



Have a great weekend all!

Tom,

Neat. Is the Batman car 1/43? Where did you get it?

Bob-

Love your post - war F-3's. Especially liked the photo of the NYC pulling to a stop in front of the station. Think I'll go grab my copy of the latest CTT and check out that article on Lionel's post - war F-3's.

Roy-

Awesome Alaska pics. Did you visit & ride the White Pass & Yukon narrow gauge line?

Bog,

We were just in the Anchorage area. My wife's sisters live there. To get anywhere else other than Seward from Anchorage is a 4+ hour investment in driving. The cost to ride the Alaska RR anywhere is quite high (very expensive per person).

Roy – this is one of several that we now have. Yep all 1/43 made by Corgi. I pick this one up at the local hobby store, but I believe Wal-Mart and Toy-R-Us also have them.

Really nice pictures this week!!

Sadly, all tha I can offer are shots of Christmas layouts past [:(] I'm starting to get 'pumped' to start this year's version after York! Don't forget, as Spank reminds us, click on the picture to enlarge it.



And then a shot of the plateau area showing my family's houses that I scratchbuilt:

Evenin' All,
You really have to be watchful, when your trains sit still for to long you just never know who will climb aboard.



Maybe we need to bring in the TSA to monitor the yards. [:-,]
Walt, You need to do a layout for hallween, I've already picked up a few things and scrounging things from other club members. If I had to buy all the track and stuff I probably wouldn't do it. I'm still hoping to find some cheap old dump cars, either coal or log. [:o)]
