I was gonna ask if it was 71/2" scale? Nice video Dennis, thanks. You ever get bored, look up the White Creek Railroad. I believe the guy is a retired teacher and he hosts private runs for his club. A couple times a year, they do an open house. Took my ex's little girl there one year. A member came all the way from lansing with his daughter and his beautiful, 2-4-2. Took us for a few rides. They had trestles, yards, towns and elevators set up throughout the woods. They would have litlle cards with job orders and go pick up and drop cars everywhere.

Far from cold.... 15* over night going into the 40*s during the day. Haven't worn a jacket in almost a week. Driveway is clear of ice and snow. I put the snowmachine up on the trailer for the summer.

Sweet, dont see how you can get used to that deep freeze
I dont mind the cold much though. Im tryin to get on a job that is running through Wyoming, North Utah, Nevada, and Oregon. Its not shutting down for winter so if I do make it out there it will be one heck of a change for me. Never seen the mountains or a REAL winter.
