The weather is nasty (has been for a good bit of this year--reminds me of my three years in Indianapolis) so I ran a couple of trains today. No steam activity today--just some diesels.
VERY cool! Thanks for the post. it is encouraging to see such a nice layout. I LOVE your steam shovel, who makes that?
That's a Tichy kit a friend (also a member of this forum) built. He did the crane, boom tender, the water tank car and kitbashed the steam tender. Posted are a couple of photos. The crane and boom tender in the foreground are models I kitbashed from a toy-like log loader that Walthers imported.
THANKS! To be honest, I have been stuck in the overwhelming reality of building what I set out to build. GREAT posts like this help me overcome it.
Since it's a hobby, I build what I feel like building. If it takes awhile, that's ok. My wife took 17 years to complete one of the quilts she has made. But she finished it!!!!
