I finished up two projects this week, both of them Southern, what a suprise! Here are some pictures!!

I went to the trains on the plains train show here in Greeley yesterday and grabbed some shots of the New York Central in operation! The New York central now has operating class lights on its DPUs now which is pretty cool!! I then went to see the OC&E layout in Greeley as well. The...

Point the two SW7 calfs out, I can't find them.

So many switchers but only one Southern unit!! How dare you!
