You and me both Dave! LOL I have not done anything new lately on the layout. The summer was very hot in there and I have been working many hours. Weekends have been busy too raising our Grandson Caleb and training on the TVRM. I have also been working on the Coosa Valleys club layout due to several shows we will be attending. (Manchester GA show this weekend. ) I have been in there running trains, and the usual cleaning due to the 'garage' elements, so it is not a forgotten project by no means. I did spend about 3hrs one late evening after I discovered I large section that was attacked by mice and many poly fiber trees were distroyed. I was not very happy...... Next Jan is when bids for job placement come up again, and if the job I am on continues to have the long hours I may bid on a yard job so I can get back to modeling on the ATSF Line.
This is all I could find.....http://www.lagrangemoms.com/category/events/fairs-festivals/ Are you planning on coming Al?
Thanks Jerry: Gonna try to make it Saturday. This is the Mill address I got from Manchester city Clerk: 10 Callaway Street, Manchester, Ga Al
Same here Jerry: Nice layout you guys have - just no roundhouse and few steamers. Show was better than I expected - spent more for the Grandkids than myself although did get a book on Central of Georgia steamers. Al
I'm about the only N Scaler in the club that regularly runs steam, and I didnt get a chance to do that till late in the show. I was like you, spent more on the grandson and daughter then myself. But I had a really good time anyway.
They were real nice but real expensive. I also like the Atlas articulated ones, nice runners. Have a great day !! Mike
Hello Jerry: Not specifically ATSF but do you have a photo of a SP GS2 without the skirting and streamlining and if so can you post it? Reason I ask: The Lima built Central of Georgia 'Big Apple' 4-8-4's were based on the same design. Thanks Al
