Sunday Photo Fun 4-27-08
Posted by magicman710 on Sunday, April 27, 2008 11:26 AM

I saw the thread about nobody starting the SPF so I decided I should be a good citizen and do it myself. Here are some pics of my recent purchase of a MTH SD70ACe:

Well when I got still sealed in the box at york.  When I first opened it I noticed the bell was never put on...i was ok with that though.  I then put it on the track, and it ran BEAUTIFULLY, but there was no sound.  I called Lionel, and got some great customer service!  I just sent it back Friday.  I have a  new steam loco coming in the mail tommorow though!

The forum was down this morning when I was going to start this weeks photo fun, then I had to go to work ( at the museum) before it was fixed.

Here are some pics I took this week railfaning

 Looks like Spankybird was in Berea and Olmstead, Ohio railfaning. Wish I would have known you were going to be in the area. I only live about 3/4 of a mile away. Could have brought some cold beverage's up to quench that thirst between trains. I have a few sweet spots for some pics also. If you want, next time you are in the area send me an email if you want to meet up.

I was at a trade show at the I-X center, so the best place for lunch is the Station. I had to make the best of the day, so railfaning top it off.

 

BTW - there is a great thread on OGR about the Berea station
