Hello all, hope everyone is doing well.

Here are some pics of my trains. G scale is inside on HO layout as I picked up the track in case we flooded again.

Cab forward vs. dash 8 [oX)][wow][4:-)]

Two DD40s Biggest engine never made ?? [:0]

Finally got the cab forward. It has a VCR motor in it. It has pulled 60+ cars up the tehachapi grade at SDRR musuem. [swg][swg][swg]

Just wanted to share some of our trains with you all.

Have a great day.

A convincing one I believe could be created by changing the pilot and piot wheels and closing in the cab. Maybe a diiferent tender.

See that was easy![:D]

Saw a nice black widow by USA. And the weird part, my LHS has the lowest price around, $299. If I can find a dummy also, hmmmmmmm.

Love the new Aristo dash 9s as well.

Ian, the garden train has an outdoor loop in my backyard. However the rain has turned backyard into swamp, soooooooo [4:-)]

train is picked up. Track is picked up. No use running newbright track in swamp. Bought some LGB track to make bigger loop. Picked that up from back patio, as last big rain the yard overflowed onto patio and put that under water. [:(][:(]

Someday spring will come to Sunny Southern California, and I will return to the great outdoors. Temp layout will stay until, hillside quits washing away, so I will have to build retaining wall. Also thanks to this forum, my HO will stay in garage. Still might attempt small HO layout outdoors, but raised like I have seen Brits do on several websites. Then I don’t have to worry if it rains, at least it won’t be underwater. [8D][8D][8D][8D]

LIke the Easter message underworld. [angel]

And I can’t plant Jack outdoors, as I met him indoors at a regala. [bow][bow]

Take care all,

Tim
