A few shots from the inaugural train that ran on the layout last week-end, with a temporary trainset power pack. Everything has been updraged to DCC this very Tuesday… It’s great to run 3-engine consist!
The train leaves Lairet and passes over Canardière Road. Most buildings are now “completed” for this urban section of the layout.
The trains enter the tunnel (furnace room) and passes by the rebuilt turntable. The golden spike is located in front of me, near the turntable turnout.
Terminus: Bunge grain elevators (made out of vacuum plastic tubes). Picture only shows about 50% of this huge structure. The prototype would take about 18’ long, this one is about 8’ long.
Some nice work this weekend! Thanks to everyone who has contributed, a ‘forward’ thanks to those who are thinking about it, Go Ahead! Put it out there!
I was looking at my pix & found a few of my units missing, so I was in a conundrum.! Well, I found out that didn’t shoot them, cuz they were not 100% finished. Although, I had been using them in & for different things… So, I thought that I had better STOP & take a couple pix, before I totally mutilated them… Sorry for the missing horns & antenna (who knows what else) from handling…
Atlas GP40-2, as DM&E 4008 (ficticious number) but stylistically correct…
