Sunday Report
by Ed Dominick 25-May
-08 Engineers were: Brian, Julie, Eric and Ed.
Ed The park was quite active and the ice cream was cold and refreshing. Brian's Nickel Plate Berkshire "Golden Spike" . Eric ran a short hot metal consist pulled by a GM Electro Motive (Williams SD-90 MAC). Ed ran his new UP Big Boy (4-8-8-4) by MTH Railking with Proto Sound 2 Freight sounds. Brian's Great Northern Challenger with awesome sounds and looks. Eric ran his MTH Cat train shown here with a dummy SD-90 (Premier) being pushed by a powered SD-90 (Railking). Eric ran his second MTH Cat train with a pair of Norfolk Southern SD-60M's. Local folk seem unimpressed. The 3-Railer layout was invaded by a group of M&Ms who tried to command this AMTRAK passenger train. Is the Great Train Robbery about to occur?? The M&Ms also "attacked" Eric's Cat train. What happened to the Conductor and Brake Man?? Julie ran an MTH NYC Dryfuss 4-6-4 passenger train (20th Century Limited) which was a standout on the layout. The M&Ms parade as a "show of force". Their leader looks like it came from another time (or was that a movie?) A police helicopter kept an "eye" on the group as they headed for Motel 6. Was there a vacancy there?? An unexpected site when the back door was opened at closing time. One patient was taken away. Was it the groom from a nearby wedding?? |
