Well..............we'll see (please don't tell the wife) There is always nap time, right? Thanks. I hope that they do too. The wife and I are still fighting over a name. She isn't going for Lionel or Athearn. Heck, I was even trying for Link short for Montana Rail Link. Just kidding, I'm going for the oldschool names like Hank and Dean but she isn't going for them. She wants the more new-age names. |

you *could* always call him link, dress him up in green and give him a wooden sword & shield...
To keep this MRR related:
4-8-4 #6005 (bachmann) takes on more coal as an 0-4-0 (Mantua) moves in to pull out an empty from the caol loading bay...thing
Slightly altered shot that shows the same scene, but kept the 120 ton crane and it's boom car in focus. I just finished painting the crane and the underframe of the boom car in this shot. I need to get something other than black for the rest of the boom car (i think... I'm still contemplating it, they're the tichy kits)
A shot "across the turntable" at 4-6-4 #5271 (Mantua, on the right) and 2-8-2 #1852 (Athearn Genesis) waiting "in the roundhouse" for the crews to finish their checks.
And here's an overview shot of the layout design:
the teal tracks off to the left are the (planned) lead/entrance tracks to the TT, I'm not sure which one(s) will eventually be the finalized leads.
The green tracks across the bottom (that go through the coaling tower at the lower right) are just other tracks that are in the engine yard.
The long blue tracks are the RH tracks.
The red/rust colored tracks are the outside storage tracks for whatever needs to be there (mostly engines) some will probably end up getting shortened stalls, though the table is slightly larger than the diagram is, giving me an extra 3-4" at the rear & right sides to potentially add three stalls to one side of the "existing " three.
