1st week at the Great Big GreenHouse was a memorable one.
This Saturday is Kids Day at the Train Station. We are all looking forward to it!
Have a great and safe weekend folks.

Here are some pics from today’s session during Thursday’s Farmer’s Market.
Here is the Flyer from this coming Saturday. If you are in the area, please come join us!
Have a great weekend, folks!

A few quick videos……
Of note, the D&RG F3 is Postwar from 57-58 and runs beautifully.
It’s always easier to pull a train into the yard rather than backing in…….I did a “run around”.
Enjoy!

Thanks Scott for getting us started! Here's my photos of the fun kind for this fine weekend!
Random shots from around the layout.
Finally home: Running late due to a snow storm, this RDC has brought these commuters home.
Framed by boxcars this B&O bobber caboose has been earning its' keep for decades.
Photo/video show my Lionel Legacy model (2231120) of New York Central 2-8-0 Consolidation #960 on my 10’-by-5’ layout.
NYC class G-6i #960 was built for subsidiary Michigan Central Railroad as #7812 by Alco (Brooks Works) in June 1909. Tractive effort was about 45,500 pounds, locomotive weight was 244,500 pounds and total loaded weight (loco and tender) was 395,000 pounds. It was scrapped as New York Central #1195 in 1954.

A lot of progress this week towards creating what will create 2023 Christmas Layout memories
Got the back 4'x8' plateau done. That was a big step for me. The scenery will be connected to the front 4'x5' plateau when I'm all done.
Those pieces of paper represent the space that will be consumed when I put in place the models I made of various family member's houses.
The next area that needed done was the back right. The right side is 6'x11'

Mel…….that’s a fantastic engine. I recently got one and sold my TMCC one from the early/mid aughts. I am very pleased with it and used it this Fall to pull my Giraffe train.

Pat.......the sailor getting off the RDC (likely coming home for the holidays) is an iconic vignette!

Re: The Santa Shay...
Didn't they merge with the BN?

I have you to blame for the consist! I love the disconnect cars! They work so well with the Shay.
The fine folks at the Lost Coast Distillery are working overtime to make sure all stockings are stuffed Christmas morning.
Santa Fe El Capitan pulling away after a station stop at Savana, IL This train was rerouted over the Milwaukee due to flooding on the Mississippi River due melting ice and heavy spring rains. Just noticed in this picture that the station might do more business if they correct the extremely high step-up to get to the platform level. Maybe it's due to the Milwaukee Road's lack of funds?
