Have not seen that engine recently. Maybe one day when it returns. |
Oh, yes, That was the RR they were lettered for too. I hope when they reopen you can get some good pictures. The paint scheme is so similar to mine I've just gotta get a better look!

| Always nice to see some Bachmann. Although a few pieces were from their dark age, the n scale stuff was known to be better in quality then the axle splitting HO! 722 looks stunning as always, steaming through the autumn countryside

I was told those cars use solar panels.
They are cleverly disguised on the cars roofs.
You would not see the difference in the new design.
They remarkably resemble the previous incarnation of the trolley.
Amtrak set rounds McNeal Curve in pleasant Texas.
Another comfortable day out west.
Pleasant ride for those passengers.
At Bella Falls Texas waiting for the next passengers to board.

Alex, or as others know as "Jupiter" Heads down the line to the CSX transfer station "Caboose light" with Blaxland Bobber #12. On the opposite "up" line, a CSX GP35 banks the curve with a three car loaded train of crushed stone for Hypoluxo quarry. The GP35 has been loaned to the Blaxland Ridge, which certainly says something about these days; waning motive power on the line.

Thanks Ken. Glad to see you back on this thread. The one that you and Frank created ten years ago.
Perhaps those trades across the pond can be retold here. Original stories on page one thru four.

Correction. Lock Ness monster!
As RP said, I consider myself proficient with technology. I can't go and solve a problem based on an error code but I can do some basic programming to fix an issue guided by a tutorial, of course. I had rigged up a virtual machine of sorts, for my Mac, which would allow you to run windows apps. I used this to code in some locomotives from MSTS to Locomotion. It proved too cumbersome that I quit. Perhaps I'll try again if I ever get a Windows computer. Sometimes a simple Google search of your issue goes a long way.
And don't think you're alone with your issues with Windows 10. Windows 7, I hear, was very well liked, and many were disappointed with the new interface of W10. These are the sorts of issues that pissed people off!
