    Looking good, Jerry, glad to see them running once again.

    Hang in there. Better you don't respond to any of the previous postings. No need to.....if you get my drift.

    Welcome to the Divorced Alumni. We meet once a month at the thirteen step anonymous meetings held in your town. Sigh!

    What? What? What did he say?:uhoh:

    Last trips these units were used on high speed double stack trains. Seen here at 50mph. :)

    High speed priority trains or long coal drags, these units can do it with ease.

    Last one before they were shipped off to another location before heading home. Cruising around the curve at the West end of Pinole. Hopefully these will not be the last 'touring' units at Pinole. But if it is, they looked great on the layout and as always I enjoyed having visiting units here and look forward to seeing the journey continue on their way home to Mitch. :)

    I always enjoy these model tours. There have been some really good ones done right here on Trainboard by several members. Great memories and history. :)

    Well....I did.....sort of. LOL Like I said, all the good cameras were taken and the one I was using had a broken bottom. I had to press up against it to keep contact on the batteries. I took several videos and they didnt come out. Until this one. And then, half way through the consist, the camera beeped and you can see my finger get in the way as I looked to see if it had stopped again and when I did I let pressure off the bottom and the batteries lost contact, of course stopping the video. But this is what I did get of the units and the train. I did treat myself to a new camera tonight, so better photos will be coming from now on....after I learn how to use it. LOL
