My weekends are Sun. Mon. so here’s what I did yesterday.
Roundhouse is in and wired
Control panel installed, strted wiring controllers and switches
Should be runnin’ trains this weekend !!!
Don’tcha just love it when a plan comes together? I’m smilin’ just to look at it.
That’s some good work there.
I see that while you were working indoors, I was out and about.
I went for a Sunday morning walk. Got some great pic’s I thought I’d share with all of you. I won’t post them all because there’s too many, but I’ll share some of the highlights. If you want to see more just click the link in my signature.
Click on any of them to enlarge them (especially the last one).
And here’s the engineer’s view…
From NKP 426.
And the highlight of the tour…
The cab of Monon # 83. Here she is…
And here’s her cab…
from the engineers seat…
And across the cab…
It was a nice walk, as you can see. There’s more pic’s on my railimages account if you’re interested.
Oh, and just to prove there’s a prototype for just about anything…
Is that the crane that was parked for years & years in the middle of the Purdue campus next to the power plant?
I’m not sure, but how many of them could there possibly be?
Dan it looks like you are well on your way to having a nice layout! Nice job on the roundhouse and turntable!
Philip those are some outstanding photo’s! It’s hard to imagine that many old railroad cars escaped the scrap line. The F-unit locomotives are some of my favorites.
Thanks for posting them! Jim
Like those F unit’s, huh? Here’s a couple shots you haven’t seen.
Click on them to blow them up.
A’s & B’s awating restoration…
This is the A unit in the pic above. It’s not the same as in my first post. (see road number)
And,…unfortunately, this one is not good for anything but parts. I guess if one has to be sacrificed to let two or three more run the rails, so be it.
Thats about all the F unit pics I have right now.
VERY NICE job on the layout, if only i could get to work on mine, hey mabey i should work on it instead of sitting in from of the computer!
