Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Seth, thank you very much!!  The Chessies are new to me this year.  I grew up along the B&O's Pittsburgh & Western mainline watching lots of freight pulled by solid blue F-units.  I was a junior in high school when the Chessie System was formed and then started seeing Chessie engines and caboose with B&O, C&O, and WM in small letters.  I became enamored with the Western Maryland when I read a couple books and went to the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.  So most of what I have is Western Maryland, but I had an MTH set of F3s painted in B&O solid blue.  The guy did a better job than I could have, but not a great job.  This past winter, I purchased a Legacy Chessie (B&O) SD40.  Then in a couple weeks time, I purchased a Chessie (B&O) bay window caboose and a Chessie (WM) extended vision caboose.  The trio is the most modern prototype I have.

My sidings used 042 track I had on hand.  My mainline is all 054.  I have not tried the SD40 on the 042 yet.  So, technically you may still be the only one.

I'm glad you like following along.
