Well after 10 days of constant rain, I decided to paint some foam board, put the ping pong table on the Brunswick and pull out the orange boxes...
took an old typewriter table to set up a "control stand"...
the two loops are isolated so it is possible to crossover from loop to loop...
but during lunch the operator was distracted by his roast beef sandwich and the following incident occured...
the Polar Express failed to notice the red switch stand and crossed over to the main line!
the Beechcraft was unharmed and the operator was taken in for a pee test. Have a great Sunday!

Thanks, John
John, the milkman is making the rounds today
ZW Bob : very nice, we must have both had a milkman when we were little !! Now to get Chuck to post his Milk trucks !!
Hi Guys,
Great pics, Thought I would post a couple of pics from a holiday we took to France a few years back. They show my two favorite hobbies, trains and classic cars
My wife and I took the SNCF Motorail service overnight from Calais to Avigon. And then drove from Avigon to our hotel just outside of Monaco.
Here is my 1981 DeLorean having a ride.
Regards
Nick
I must not have listened well last week. The Ghost of Christmases past visited me again last night! He took us back to 1999 this time. He reminded me, again, to smile and enjoy!
John and ZWBOB, you might see, if you look real hard on the left edge in the middle picture (or click on it to enlarge it), that the milk man made it to my neighborhood that morning too!!!

Well beening that I just learned how to post pictures I thought I would post some of the UP 844 when it came through Austin,TX
Walt : I see your Milkman there now !! Good one !! I think it's neat how some of us have a similar idea !!
Nice pictures of the 844, too !! How about the fireman there with his cell phone !! I notice the crews today on the trains are all on cell phones !!

Great pictures all,
Reggie, Nice to see you have made some real progress on your layout. Only problem is I had to turn my monitor on it's side to see the first picture.
Those 15 diecast hoppers must be a pretty good load, at least it looks like level going, no big hills.
It looks like you have your fast track attached right to the plywood, how is the noise level?
John, those BBs look fantastic. Congratulations on a nice addition
Frank, I noticed how carefully you're fitting the backdrops into the corner. V. nice work.

fj and g: i love them too as you can tell and no i dont have the containers as they cost $25 a pop. i think tahts a little to much but i will eventually get them.
zwbob: well i've hooked all of those cars the gunderson and the 2 bay hoppers on the one train and that sd80mac has no problem pulling all of those cars at once. so you can say that the magnitraction is great. well i hope you mean that the wheels get their traction through some type of magnetic draw from the wheels. if so let me tell you that the engine tires have 2 rubber wheels on each truck to help with traction
jefelectric: sorry for making you turn your computer to a different angle thats the only way i could get that whole train in the picture at once. well the gundersons are die cast too and they actually weigh more than the 2 bay hoppers. and yes the whole layout has no hills as of now so the train is running on a level surface all the way around the layout. the noise level is to where you can tolerate it its not that loud unless i have the train running at full blast and if i do have it at full blast you can still hear the whistle and horn over the noise with the volume level of the train at its lowest. plus i like the sound it gives the feel that something massive is coming and passing by as you get the feeling of a real train passing by.
