Blizzard Weekend Photo Fun
Posted by krapug1 on Saturday, February 9, 2013 4:35 PM

In addition to digging out of the recent blizzard (just over 2 feet of snow here), I made some train time.

I only have a handful of MTH engines, but I let 3 of them have the run of the layout today.

Well finally starting to paint rust to the side of the rails I know some have to have it done on both sides but these so far because where they are only need it on the one side. once I get the O-72 curved bent ( or in if I win the bid I have on some) I will start fastening track to the table and adding ballast to the track area. Here what I got done today after finally got home.

Was fortunate not to be faced with a blizzard here in the mid-west.  Here are a couple of recent photos.  The second shows progress being made on the Maryville Yard.  Smile

PRR RS11 #8618 having just crossed the Susianna River is slowly making its way past the Maryville Tower.

 

The Maryville Yard is slowly coming together.

I don't know what I did with the usual ones, I think I fell victim to a brain cloud, but here's one I don't think I have previously shown:
