Pics of the Mallet on the high bridge

Here is a pic of my new Mantua Classics Mallet on the high bridge at the local club layout. She is just a few hundred yards from arriving back at the logging town after a run to the main yard for the days local traffic. Happy Holidays. Mike and Michele T

Nice, I always liked those tank Mallets. That's a cute little bobber caboose too.

Thanks Jim, I wish the focus on the first pic would have been better, I was shooting on the fly as she ran back to the town, I had a unit coal train 1 block behind me so I couldnt stop. The bobber is 1 of two that I had given to me by one of the members now deceased father. I carefully removed the decals from the side of each since they were never dull or gloss coated to seal them. They both have full interiors with removable roofs. I also have the rare Mantua Weyerhaeuser drovers caboose that I added lighted Tomar marker lights to. Its on the rear end. Cheers Mike

Just gotta love to shots of big steam trundling across high bridges.

Heres my GN.2023 2-8-8-0 easing back across the highline bridge after helping a westbound freight to the top of the summit

Very nice looking engines there. So sad that my big boy is yet to see a day in which it is running. I did find a hobby shop that will get it running for me and will be adding Soundtraxx sound it it instead of the factory MRC. Cant wait to have it running with my Challanger.
