Reply to "Switcher Saturday 07-23-22"

Well SwSat fans, great pictures all...I am a little pressed for time today, wife and I are packing for a short vacation.  Family secret...In my military career we moved 11 times in 20 years and (according to the boss) I was always either gone or busy on "Packing Day"  so if I can't ignore this task .  So here are a few archive photo's.  

Here is a Hornby type 101 repainted and modified with a Marx electric motor taking a short mid day passenger run up the main.

Here a Horby (Hatchette) type PO takes a small freight down towards the industrial section of town.  The gondola will likely be loaded but the tanker full of wine ... well who knows?

Hornby Hatchette O PO locomotive and train

A Hornby type MO from 1930 moves a few Mettoy freights up past the center of small town.  Its now 11:40 and Officer Sullivan in the background, Small Town's entire police force  is trying to keep traffic moving despite the train tying up every street at once!  He is hungrily looking over at McDonalds and thinking..."Big Mac, Fries, and Coke!"

Hornby MO with Mettoy train at McDonalds curve

A Hornby type 101 tank engine pulling a very sad train.  The heavy drought has brought havoc to the cattle ranchers.  This train has two cattle cars to take the few cows ready to market and a hay wagon to try and help feed the rest.

Best wishes to everyone.  Hope all the LCCA folks in Nashville are enjoying their convention.
