June 2010 – Updates

How do you like the new format for the site? I like it and I guess that is whose opinion really matters I have added a few more photos of the old NVRRA Bolton layout. I had these on my computer but I just never had the time to get around to posting them. Check them out. It shows what a nice layout it was. If you notice, you will have to use the drop down menu from the Other Model Railroads button to get to the tribute. You also have a couple of choices when you click on the Appalachian Northern menu button.

As for my layout, I just received my custom decals. I have about 7 or 8 freight cars to paint, one undecorated locomotive to paint, with two more on order from Atlas, which should arrive around Christmas 2010. I also have three locomotives that need new decals and minor touch up. Time for me to find my airbrush and go to work. It looks like a rainy weekend coming up so I may just get my chance to work more on the layout.

I also managed to get down to Pennsylvania again this past May. However, I had very little time for railfanning, about an hour or two. I got a few shots when the sunlight was about gone for the day in Cresson. The next morning I saw a train climbing the hill westbound at Gallitzin. I managed to get to Cassandra ahead of it. It was pouring rain. I hope to add those shots to the Pennsylvania Gallery soon.
