Late night at Betty's. Mr B, I tried that building you have in the center, and you sure did a nicer job.

Show me a family doing something

Does it really have to be a 250 ton?  Guys we're getting pretty specific again.  Anyway, best I can figure times about up on this one anyway or will be in 5 minutes.

I'm uncertain if this is a 250-tonner  - it's not twice as big as my 125-tonner. Laugh  I think it might be from Bachmann - only a couple of bucks off the "used" table at the LHS.

 

Show me a MoW water car.

Never thought in a million years a 250 ton crane would be considered too specific.  Most cranes (Athearn, Bachmann, etc...) are 250 ton models.  Sure are a bunch here (eBay 250 ton cranes) when compared to other recent "specific" requests (M1a steamer)

The time for the waterfall seems to have expired.  Here's Chippawa Creek, with a waterfall just upstream and around the bend, to the left:

 

Even from the air, it's not visible:  the "fall" is there, but the "water" part wasn't modelled:

 

Show me a coal dealer's yard.

It's difficult to show GERN's facility in Port Maitland in a single picture, so here are a couple of views:

 Doc, here in the Midwest when we here combine, well we think of the machine that pick corn!  So you want to see one that is made from wood? Whistling
