Weekend Photo Fun 1-11-13-??

i stayed there quite a lot during the '90s. The food in the restaurant was fantastic, and many rooms have a lovely view over the rail yard, which was normally pretty full with an interesting variety of freight trains. I still have a coffee mug with their logo on it. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Arc,

Your MTH Real Trax looks really good with ballast. Nice layout.

A few years ago in Nashville I took these picture very close to the Station you pictured.  Beautiful sky.










It's a fair drive, but we also did a visit to Great Smokey Mountain National Park at the same time.  My sweetheart on a city walk that was very interesting.

my wife had to have her own train, since mine are taking up a spare bedroom now...

I never noticed how much different the Williams Girls train is from the Lionel.  Above is my 1991 reproduction from Lionel, along with the 2002 Lionel Boy's Train.  Both are the same 2-6-4 with different tenders. 

the lionel version does look completley different! i have to admit though, i am very impressed with the Williams version. very smooth runner, nice sound. my wife loves it. good to have her apart of the hobby with me
