Blue Main yard had a lot of visitors on Thursday night in the form of Union Pacific Challengers and Big Boys.
New member Larry Sorenson brought in 4 of these monsters and Tom Kirk had one 4-6-6-4 as well.
Each week I seem to be surprised by the quality and quantity of the members' collections of models.
You know you've arrived as an up and coming town when you have advertisers on billboards. The SP&S
let people know their wheels were just as big as the larger railroads.
Gotta have an eastern railroad in the system somewhere with Doug N. as a member. This little switcher
is moving a few box cars to customers along the line.
Janis had her American Freedom train engine pulling a bunch of centennial box cars last week.
Red, white and blue was certainly the theme.
The NP and the Frisco will soon merge together in 1970 but today they are competitors with very
similar equipment on the form of F units
The next major change at the club will be the Red yard turning into an industrial site. Plans are drawn
up and will be presented to the members at our next business meeting. This UP Challenger was not
in the first shot on this e-mail.
