They were testing in Run 8 that day as the SDP45 wasn't loading correctly.  Made quite the impression.

Dug these out from home. They've been running on the Desktop Central for the past few weeks. Happy CR day!

It's nice to see that RS3m again. That's the one that inspired me to do mine.

As close to Convictrail I'll get :)



Actually started this one but traded it for something before I finished it.
Can't model worth a darn, but can research like an SOB.

Good to see one of the pair of EMD units once used on the California Northern!

You`ll never find a Philly cheese steak on a menu in Philadelphia. It`s called a cheesesteak and we all know where it`s from...

I saw a Constang today. It was a Conrail Blue Mustang.
But that's not even the best part. The tag was "BACON." I couldn't get a good shot at it.
I swear to God I'm not making this up. T'was on US29N. He got off I70W.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

I would be remiss if I did not share something of my favorite road.  I do not have a layout at home (that is at my father's place), so enjoy the cars.  Thanks.
