    Do you have a floor plan for Boylston? Am curious as to how it was arranged. Such as for living quarters. And when indoor plumbing was added.

    :D

    hemi, you know making things dirty has not been a priority yet. I plan to do so along with shorting fuel tanks and other engine details. but for the last few months I've been a building set of mind. but your right it needs to be done. haha!

    Had some fun today with my new SD7's. Destination is Royal City, Milw 509 leading a small train of grain hoppers.

    Did the 4750's ever travel in solid yellow sets?

    Hemi,

    I have seen a few photos that show a bunch of these yellow hoppers hooked together. However, I am not sure if these were the only cars on that particular train. I'd have to go dig out that photo to find out.

    who wants to see some more building photos of my columbia river bridge? I'm thinking about working on it this sunday.

    I recall seeing some promo pictures when they first arrived. Solid trains. Thereafter, likely they became somewhat disbursed.

    Kurt you're right they do cross over the tracks. In the Rye area this happens a couple of times. This also happens in a few other places between Boylston and Cohasset.

    Nope, another small section I built a little while ago. It is based on an area close to Rye. The backdrop photo was from a photo I took near Rye. In fact they both replicate the scene very well. This section will be added to a little later next year. I really am motivated now to get the bridge done. It is just a huge project and sometimes I feel I have to walk away from it for a little while and do something else. Thus this sections came about.
