Sorry Randy, I had given the two drunks some money to buy me a bottle of Jameson and they instead gave me a bottle of hooch from the still. Had two shots and next thing I know I’m waking up on the sidewalk 😂

Super. Athearn Bluebox locomotives still make up about 25% of my locomotive fleet, with many of them approaching their 50th birthday on my railroad. They also operate quite well outside in the rain and snow, and acquire a nice patina over time that makes them look very realistic. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.

Very cool video-documentary! If you have more of those, put them online, regardless of quality. I remember those days. Although I wasn't part of the railroad modeling scene at the time, whenever I took my family to the mall we would stop by and watch the trains. My children were very young, only 3-5 years at the time and they loved watching the trains.

Did you ride on the Sacramento Northern? Also does the museum have any of the catenary driven locos the Sacramento Northern used back in the day?
@randyj624516 күн бұрын
Those are at the Western Railway Museum near Fairfield. The club did an outing there years ago. But this train is in Old Sacramento. Fred and I are docents at the California State Railroad Museum. We were working on the train Saturday.

@@randyj6245 Off topic but worth mentioning. I recently found online maps of Woodland, CA dating back to 1896 at the Library of Congress. I reviewed about a dozen maps and found some cool things and confirmed some theories I had about our local line. But I no longer believe that Woodland had a roundhouse. Seems like the Southern Pacific roundhouses were in Sacramento. Maybe also somewhere north of Tehama. I am putting together foils of my find and will share at the next meeting.

Looks like expanding the layout on the inside would make for a difficult reach? ‘I give up’ 🤣🤣. I’ve felt that way many times. 😀
@randyj6245Ай бұрын
I will build everything before putting it in place. Then we will drop those sections in place. If I decide to do it. But you are right, it would be a difficult reach. My yard is a far reach to get to those cars. Didn't think that through before doing it. When things go wrong it sucks to reach over and fix the problem! I need a fog horn! LOL! Have a great day Fred!

Good idea about prebuild expansion . I have a ‘grabber’ to retrieve derailed cars in hard to the reach section on my layout.
