I have to admit it is  alot of fun running in the snow.  I got the log cars hooked up and the train has been running all morning.  It is nice when I get cold outside I go inside and sit in my house with a cup of hot chacolate and watch them run from the living room.  Life does not get any better.  .

"We ended up with 2 inches"   Don't you mean four feet?  Beautiful pictures, Snowy. Thanks for sharing.

Great photos, looks like you can use some for Christmas cards.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

 We rarely get snow in this part of England - once very ten years or so and then it is only a day or two before it is gone.  My wife loves snow and she always enjoys seeing pics of railroads and parts of the States where they get  snow.  In fact it is usually the only time she looks at any railroad pics.
