Grantham, welcome to Trainboard. Don't be timid about contributing, we enjoy all inputs. Flash, that goes WAY back. Before the tractors could pull big trailers.

 

Our soon to be tool car, new trucks for cabbose in fore ground.

Gunns

 

Just hanging around the yard, looking for a lift.

 

Switch points in storage yard just east of Longmont:


When thrown, points are LESS than 1 inch apart!!

 

You can't have a yard without ground throws.

 

A derail

 

Some batteries for cold starting, anyone?

 

Or...

 

Dead weeds and dead locos hanging out together...

 

Someone left their A-line power trucks out in the rain!

 

Or stuff like this:

GPxx truck frames:

SDxx truck frames:

GE truck frames:

Locomotive wheels, minus traction motor(s):

 

Had to look at the DHVM to see if this was D&H but compairing photo's side by side I think not now.

What do you think?

 

Personally, I try NOT to.
Too much like work!!

 

It looks to me like the D&H unit is somewhat bigger and the rear windows seem to be placed differently.

 

A bumper or wheel-stop of the highest professional quality--not.

 

And the rock is the fall-back in case the ties don't hold up...?

 

You don't understand!!!!!!!

It's those little BLUE lights that will keep from train back...
