First snow on the C.J.andM. this year !
Posted by Mike Dorsch CJ&M r.r. on Saturday, December 1, 2007 12:36 PM
This morning we had our first snowfall of the season and the snow was that real nice powdery stuff that looks real nice . It was real cold outside so I ran out and snapped a few pictures real fast and thought I would share them with you . All the cars that are in the pictures stay outside all year round and some of them are going on their fourth year . Hope you like them .

Very realistic Mike

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

We live in Romeoville Illinois a suberb south of Chicago . Congrats to you Marty for your photo contest picture , real nice ! I tried again this year in the contest but I sent my pictures to the wrong magizine I think . I sent them to "Model Railroad Magizine" instead of "Garden Railroad Magizine"......OOPS . It don't matter anyway cuz all the winners were real nice too .We'll try again next year .

I had some snow here in Montgomery County, PA today. I unboxed my locos and some cars and took plenty of pix. Enjoy!!!
