Fighting the sierra grade up to "Dog Soldier Pass" : An ongoing struggle.

[Frenchie]

Yes, that's part of the deal in our hobby, searching, adapting, finding solutions.
It's also fun and it makes the journey very exciting !

Haha, yeah, I almost forgot to start cooking dinner for the family! They almost got replaced by sound decoders...

 

[Frenchie]

That "sounds" familiar...

Again, a few years ago I drew, for a friend of mine, compressed versions of Cajon station area and Cajon summit area showing
different eras.
I attach them in case this might be of interest to anyone.

Put a space between the sierra. and https. The link isn't resolving because there is no space there.

But cool vid! As well as the two upright videos.

Under each video there's a "share" arrow, press that and a screen will pop out with options to share. The easiest way is to copy the "link". Then come back here, post a comment and, space, and hold the screen with your finger, the link you saved earlier will pop up, press once on the link and it will transfer here.

That Erie Western grain hopper is definitely a nice piece, did you find it in a store, or you did paint and decals yourself?

A friend of mine sold quite a few brand new cars in their original boxes, and I purchased some of them.

This was a short lived local railroad from what i know, back from 1970s. Definitely rare model.

 

[Frenchie]

Thank's for the infos, I didn't know that.
Definitely a good deal then.
