Weekend Photo Fun 5-3-19-??

In my world, due to huge increase number of passengers on Chicago Great Western’s “Mills Cities Limited” run between Twin Cities-Kansas City route, Managements ordered brand new 8 passenger cars from MTH to meet the demand. Here are the video of northbound “Mills Cities Limited” passing Gladbrook Iowa depot. 

Well, yesterday I did as always, went to the food store, ran into Archie and I asked if I could get a picture with him.

I'm the guy on the left, Archie on the right. He'll be 92(I think unless he is already) this year.

I dug out my B6S I picked up off eBay back in 2017 as well as the Erie Hoppers I picked up at my first York. Unfortunately I need smoke fluid so my running session was cut short. I've got some somewhere but I can't remember where its at(lots of stuff boxed up, arch). Next weekend I think(or the week after) I'll be heading to the train store and I can get extra smoke fluid.

Hardest part I had today was connecting the tether on the B6S. It took me about 25 minutes to get it fully connected. I guess that's one of the disadvantages of floor running.

I'll just post this here since it was understandably deleted from the real trains section 4014 thread.

Some wheel slippage!

Great blowdown at the end.
