Its time to upgrade our pass service here. The U.P. Heavy weigths are still in service but the newer smooth sided cars are slowly arriving. Maybe by the end of summer we can have a full train.


And here it is at Table Creek station late Sat afternoon in Feb 04

Fun

For those of you who wonder what they look like on 10'dia curves, here they are sitting on my storage tracks in the shop.

and

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Some tight clearences there Marty! and thats on 10 footers? sheesh! Looks like 20' dia are needed outdoors just so they look normal, glad I'm doing narrow gauge , much more forgiving in the stupidly-tight curve catagory, which pretty much describes my little Dog & Pony show in the garage.LOL.

   Have fun with your trains

Hey Marty,
Great shots! Talk about needing BIG curves for those pass. cars! How did you tint the windows? Was it just a case of changing the lense to green tint? Looks great. Later eh...Brian.
