Just when you thought it was safe to bring out your
diesels the little Giants make a return in force in a doubleheader on the Green Branch. These engines will be featured in our Saturday February 18th open
house from 5 to 9 pm at the club. By then I should have the lettering on the
second loco in NP.
The little 4-4-0s make there way across
Heimerdinger bridge on the north end of Green branch.
The real star at the Saturday Open House is the
world famous Thomas The tank Engine! Jim Bowden acquired this beauty and
installed a sound chip that makes it a real attention getter. This
open house is geared for the kids but age is not a factor in enjoying steam
trains running thru the mountains. That's Saturday Feb.18th from 5 pm to 9 pm. at
18213 East Appleway in the Spokane Valley. Take exit 293 at Barker Road and go
south. Take a right on Appleway and go 3 blocks to the Greenacres Shopping
Center.
Cobbleton keeps getting better and better as Rick
martin adds tress and scenery to the east end of the city. I'm working on the
trolleys so soon we will have a real live city to show off.
One of those newfangled diesel sets show up at
Union Station at Cobbleton that is owned by Tommy Frank. Jerry repainted the
units from ex- Milwaukee Road units and matched the yellow to the AHM colors
on the passenger cars. Tom is looking for a tail car to go with the other 13
cars he now has.
New member Steve Welton watches his brand new high
tech diesels make its way around the layout on the Blue Main. The lead unit is
one of those heritage UP units painted in the Western Pacific
colors in honor of one of the many railroads merged into the mighty Union
Pacific.
