We'll be out most of the day, so I'll need to post something now...for a change.

Work continues on the new freight/milk platform...Taking a break as the Express goes by.

 

Backfilling the last of the ramp framing.

THE GREAT OTTS Tour of the Western Reserve Model Train Museum, June 21, 2008 

With the price of fuel, the trip took longer than expected. 

 

Only one locomotive seemed to give the club members problems.....You guessed it, NS with switchman from Roseyville, NC had a slight problem.

OTTS' Big Three....Blueberry, Spankybird and Buckeye Riveter.  (Handsome group, too!)

Spanky wins the award in the "hottest women" category!  Liked the pic of those 3 distinguished looking gentlemen, but none of them are smiling.  Mug shot from the local police station?  Great photos, guys.  Thanks.

The bigger question though is who had "Bucket & Shovel" duty, I do believe these two upstanding individuals would not want to be accused of leaving a trail of "Meadow Muffins" along the road. Oops [oops]

Doug....I have to admit, that I was the one, who had........... the " Bucket & Shovel " duty. Buckeye said that I had to, since I was the youngest.
