Good evening crew,
Lots of activity this weekend, looks like!
Steve - fine looking pair of CF7's you got there! Are they Athearns?
Fritz - mighty nice selection of Conrail power
Ray - I can imagine your excitement at finally having a climate-controlled environment to operate in, I had my moment a year ago when I finally installed the new heat pump & attic insulation in my garage. Nice looking backdrops too BTW...
GM - congrats on the good F3 deal, can't wait till I can start casually buying more locos. First I need to fix-up the ones I currently have, incl. decoders...
LGM - I really like your lashup of covered wagons, reminds me of what I occasionally saw on the B&O 'back in the day'

This is what I managed to scrape out on my own layout: a slag pit. On the prototype, they don't have heavy equipment sitting at the bottom of the slope when they're pouring out the hot liquid slag, I just parked the thimble cars there for context. The 'slag' still needs work, I also need to visit the LHS for some coarse lt. green foilage (this isn't a putting green after all...)
