David that must be the Ottoman's influence. Turkish coffee is still like that, but at least they put in lots of sugar.
Louis: Yes, it was very sweet !

Hi Guys,
Looks like the same crew, new website, though. Hopped on to find some old information and found a whole new look. Will take a little while to figure things out...
I was looking for the Northern Pacific timetables I posted back in January or February of 2017, they werent on my thread so maybe I put them on the Coffee Shop. Then I remembered a place where all my images were somewhere on my profile and couldn't find it.
Anyway, would like to update my profile. Currently doing some modeling but still in transit to our "finale" layout.
Louis, David, Garry CBQ--good to see your posts right off the bat. I will be logging again!

No,all scratch built.He has a friend that worked at the Somerset coal plant and got a copy of the prints of the dumper.Tom,
Looks like a great time! Great photos. Love the rotary dumper. Is that the Walthers kit?

Yep.normally I have the coal loader one one side to fill him and he dumps on the loader on the other side of the layout.Thanks, Its a fantastic model, I bet its a crowd dazzler!
I cannot find the reference at the moment, but I understand they only cleared the top of the tunnels by less than a foot and even experienced crews would duck.Never got to see these beasts as they were used in the Cascades.
Chet: Old? I am familiar with the DD1, which is at the Strasburg Museum, The B1s used to be in Harrisburg, Philly and NY, but by my time, only in NY. The GG1, of course I actually ran, and the FF1 which came from the GN was long gone by my time. Motors are neat, my preference was the E44, short hood lead with the windows closed. The ex VGN, ex N&W, ex NH E-33s a close second.

Great stuff, I love it, but where are the coal samplers? Did you know I was a coal sampler a long time ago? Are your guys sampling mechanically or the old fashioned way with a shovel and a bag?
David!!! We missed you old buddy! I am so very happy to see you, I hope all is well with you and yours.Hi Guys,

I don't know the location of your great looking train, but I know it's west of the Howard street tunnel!
