Tom, Glad you got home safe in the nasty driving weather.

Buckeye, Nice pics.  Where did you get the black & white hogs.  Never saw them in O gauge.

Guess I will just have to stick with Shutterfly.

Tom, good to have you back.  

John, I can see your photos now.  The Chief is going to love those John Deere tractors.

Here is the Polar Express in polar conditions, with a polar bear, during the International Polar Year! Taken yesterday morning.

That is a fantastic picture.  My wife and I had a good laugh at it.

Ok guys - Give me a break. This is the first time in over 3 years that I didn't start this at a resonable time. I was called out of town again on Friday and just got back home at 5:30pm today. And that was after being out of town all week. I did try to post this moring from the Hotel, but thier computor was having problems. It may have been the big ice storm up there.

IT's good to be back home.

Great pics all!

Can everyone see them now?  Don't know what happened with the other host, they showed up at first then vanished.

John : they are there now, at least, I can see them !! Goes to show that you can't always go with Brand !! Laugh [(-D]

Thanks, John

John, unfortunately, I am unable see any of your photos.  Are you using brand X for your photo sharing?  Smile [:)]

Chuck, that is one big bridge.

As the crew of the hot box reefer car says, "Great job, guys!"

Great pics and scenery everybody and Chuck, you are doing great - my first thought was where was your tubular track?  My camera is still in the shop Angry [:(!]  Dave, did you treat that old weathered piece of wood prior to use?  I think you might want to put something on it to stabilize it?  Maybe Laz has a suggestion.  Epoxy would make it shiny, which wouldn't be good...

Wow, great collection of pics today guys.

Laz, you got some great stuff. Are those F units TMCC?

TMCCMAN, yep they are TMCC with dual motors in both A units and smoke in all units.  I didn't try the smoke units yet and according to 4 KITTIES he never had them on either.  I'll let you know when I prime em and fire em up.

Great movies. Thanks. My old post wars don't quite sound like that. You may have opened a can of worms for me.

Alaskans use a heat gun to hunt this species of polar bear! 

Here is one for our friends in Canada and across the Big Pond! 

The Polar Express crew decided to step outside and cool off a little. 

 

Best regards from the freezer!   Kevin T.

PS Get ready– our two week cold snap is suppose to end sometime later this week and I am sure when it does it will be visiting our friends in the Lower 48! 

All I can say is WOW......I have to ask this.....Did the train actually run in that temperature ???  That is cold.
