Happy FEF, PW Lionel #44 launcher, watch out Russia, I will launch!
Happy Friday everyone! What a great FeF day, lots of great posts and photos today! It seems like every FeF my WP GS-64 is on the middle track, and I'm too lazy to change it out, so another photo of #485, with a little twist maybe. The sun was coming through the window, so I wanted to catch the morning sun.

Okay boys, where do we start first?
Front end of a caribou checking out campers cooking up the morning catch. There's nothing like freshly caught rainbow trout for breakfast! Good grieve, I'm drooling just thinking about it. LoL
Have a great day and weekend working on the railroad and running trains.
Dan -everything you stated about the current weather in North Texas is spot on. What you left out is that thus doesn't happen every year and we measure our hunker down time in hours or a day or two at the worst! (Snowmaggedon last year was an anomaly). My official report from my front door is that the residential roads are clear and dry at this time.

Thanks Dallas

Think about it.
Thanks Bob for the leg work. I’ve looked in to this a couple times but I just decided to make it a Dummy I’ll pull it with my other Reading RS-3

I was going to suggest an ERR upgrade to full command but I deferred.....🤣🤣

Got your camera lense in a perfect place Bob.
Artie - DL&W Hey thanks for the compliment, I had forgotten about the train shows at the terminal as I left the area quite some time ago, but the mention of them combined with the car shows reminded me ... great shows and great times. CR Cole- you are right at least we don't have to suffer long. Friday was nearly clear here in Waco and today (Sat) it's like 60+ degrees ...and you don't have to shovel sunshine ! Kon112H, Chessie 1971, and Trainwreck Nate : Welcome aboard, neat trains and good to have you back / posting.
Great photo's everyone.
Don
