March 2010 What’s New Intro… Down in Winter Valley summer has extended it’s warm fingers into late September so everyone around here is feeling pretty good. Folks over at the old mill property are particularly pleased because the local housing boom has meant new jobs. New jobs mean that young people can stay around and build on what their fathers had built before. For me, it means more tonnage and more tonnage means more long days and long hard days are just what I need. Diving headlong into my work is simply a form of therapy and as a confirmed train nut I also get to see and photograph ‘foreign’ power. Not a whole lot of action this time out but I took lots of pictures of CN’s 5604 in action. It was good to see her back up this way again.
Dave, Thanks for the post. Its nice to hear from you once more. I keep tabs on your web site and always look forward to reading your posts.
I enjoyed seeing the Ford Pinto. Is it just my perception, or are it's headlights actually lit? Boxcab E50
They're lit. Sorry I haven't got back sooner but what with work and prostate..... Just about all of my diecast vehicles, about 24, are wired up with LED's as headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and/or flashing lights in police cars, tow trucks and ambulances. John green at Northern Alberta Railway - Dunvegan to Dawson has done most of the work as he's just starting into G scale after years of HO railroading. He just took an old Ford pickup home this evening so one more will be added to the layout. Visitors often find they like them as much as the trains. Dave
