Recent visitors to the In-ko-pah Railroad

I finally got around to putting up some new pics on my website, mainly of recent visitors. First, some pics from April, when our foster daughter, her husband, and three little girls came to visit:

Everytime I see people standing in your RR I think,, "MAN thats alot of rocks"!!!!!!

You have alot more patience that I do.

I love the step idea.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Seeing those young smiling faces brings happy memories to hart. I hope you are provideing a good home for your new "rodent population" control device. Just make sure he's not sleeping in a tunnel while you're running trains.

When you have grandchildren you can't have too many gondola cars.
