Have a safe trip Chief!

Gil - the Acela belongs to a friend of mine in the club. It is a beautiful machine, but a bit too modern for my collecting tastes. I prefer steam. Sorry - no leads from me for the Fastrack. I use traditional tubular on my layout.

Spanky - great photo as usual!

Miles - good to have you stop in! Drop in every once in a while.

Cold here today. Started at 30 and may get to 60. Nice and sunny.

Regards,
Roy

Hi guys,
Thought I'd drop by to say hello, so you won't think I dropped of the face of the earth. Been lurking here once in a while. Excellent photos as usual. :thumb:
Been busy working in the smaller scaled. If you say the list in my layout party thread you know why I'm so busy. :rolleyes:

Spnkty that is a great looking fire box and I know juts how to add one to my Berk.
I have rail sounds on that engine and the dispatch chatter seems anti-prototypical I think.

NO SNOW. train97 Have a good one and God bless.

Chief - good to see you back. With temps like that, it could snow at any time sign1

Roy - second interview went well, 2.5 hours long. They just haven't made the offer or money on the table yet. :rolleyes: Great pics.
