Now here is a really neat photo I was informed of from the NS-NC Yahoo group I belong to, this image was taken by Jonathon Russell, and here is his story behind the photo:

Group, here is a shot of 165 Tuesday night with 2 KCSM GEVO's sitting
at Majolica waiting on P60. P60's headlights really illuminated 165's
power as it passed by.

Hi Corey,

Your photos of the store fronts are great. My only suggestion is that you show what is behind the windows of the store fronts. They appear to be boarded up!  I like the shades in the upper windows.      Bob

Nice work from both of you on those lumber yards, I never really saw this kit before. Looks like something I should add to the layout.

No model, that's the real deal! Thought it would make for some interesting prototyping.

Oh whew! That would be VERY nice if it was a model. From the photo it looked like a really nice (read expensive) model!

Hmmm... interesting arrangement of tracks at that oil refinery! I wonder what the minimum radius is.......Cool [8D]

That foliage one is very colorful!

Is that a TGV in the staging yard?

Yes it is a tgv in the staging yard.  And I forgot to ask Larry Olsen what the radius was on the oil refinary.  I love the fall colors in Bob layout.

TGV... That brings back bad memories of a show awhile back. The club's 22/24" radii corners were a little tight for an annoying 8 year old running one of our 2 donated, TGV sets. hit the curve too fast and the TGV went flying into the nearby wall. That was the end of the TGV. The kid has since retired from the club but the TGV remains in pieces.
