With the amazing ability to take such sharp photos with an iphone on small models plus the detail of the models has gotten so good it sometimes is hard to tell a model from the real thing.
Here we have an American 4-4-0 engine that was the type used during the Civil War between the states by both sides sitting on a siding waiting for new instructions at Bakersville.
Time is 152 years later as two 4400 hp locomotives are hauling beautiful coal for someone to heat their home or run their factory. Powerful, efficient engines running on welded rail
and concrete ties with computers helping to lead the way safely. All we need now is an awake crew to get us there!
Coal train meets grain train safely on passing tracks on the Evergreen. Both trains are the brain child's of Steve Weso who follows prototype in what he models.
BN1 & 2 help out from BN official duties to getting a Talgo train from point A to point B. Talgos ran from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, BC along the Pacific Coast. they were
built to tilt when going around a curve so it was more comfortable for customers. The BN units I painted for Robert Case who was visiting us last week from Chelalis, Washington
On Steve Weso's BNSF coat train I showed earlier this unit was on the tail pushing the train so it takes away the strain of couplers on long, heavy trains. The rear light is on for safety.
New member Jesse has this little GN switch engine up on the Green Branch for small trains and Jesse stopped in a good place for a photo. I hope you agree?
