With space goggles on Will Windom is intent on seeing what he is doing at Bakersville.
New automatic switch machines were installed and they needed to be painted so Will volunteered
be to the go too guy. It is also a reminder that nothing gets done on the layout unless someone
steps up to the plate to make it happen. Its been said that we have 30,000 dollars invested in this layout
but also is true is we have about 30,000 hours of effort by the members as well.
Jim Bowden brought in his new addition to his collection 4 brand new GP-9s and are they beauties!
It's nice to see GN show up as NP and SP&S guys seem to be in the majority.
That's Jim's GN caboose following along behind a fairly long freight train with trolley customers looking on.
He followed up with running a 4 unit set of NP FTs, the original steam engine killers on the real
railroad. No more coal or frequent water stops and a whole lot cleaner and quieter for the crews.
Greg Mercier kept up some eastern representation with Maine Central freight units pulling a typical
1950s era freight train with eastern cars in tow.
The peaceful co-existence was shattered with the arrival of Steve Weso's modern BN train with 2
lease units in attendance. I guess Gonzaga wasn't playing basketball on Tuesday afternoon?
