I haven't been down in the train room in a while so I am not exactly sure what is on the tracks. I will need to pay a visit soon.
I just came from a work trip and about to leave to Florida for vacation. When I get back I will absolutely spend more time down there. I crave it but other things are getting in the way.

What's on the tracks?....not much, but just after sunrise I did catch sight of this beast.

Adam, I missed this post earlier this month. I like the idea of the American Experience Excursion Train; and using your own printed material. What made you come up with the idea? Alfred

I had not played with the trains for a while and could not resist today; so I braved the hot temperature in the attic. Here is a ‘head on’ 3-minute video of my LV GE44 Switcher (#627, Lionel, 1956-57) with consist ending with PRR NC5 Caboose and 3484 Operating Box Car. – it is making the complete loop around the layout The horn (not adjusted and not realistic sounding) was manually operated using a Lionel 167 Controller – the high profile F3 horn is located in a general store.

Roadrunner, very nice Western theme and trains. Stay out of the Saloon, or it will make it difficult to operate trains. Alfred

You have a really nice layout, Scott, and you’re running some neat trains. 👍
