Snow stopped by noon and gave us 4 inches of wet snow. The nice thing about spring snows, it melts fairly fast. I ended the day running my scratch built Climax.  I really like the way it looks in the snow.

I like the Climax.

Who makes the caboose in your first post?

Thanks, the caboose is a bachmann logging caboose.  I repainted it and added marker lights.
