Well, it's that time again.

Time to hit the "Pause" button.


Good luck man!

Good luck Lee - you had said you had property somewhere around the Magnolia cutoff, but I didn't know you might move to NC.  I hope all goes well for you!  Bob

We'll be in West Virginia for at least a year.  We have to get that property fitted out to be a vacation rental, while simultaneously building our "forever" home in the Carolina High Country.

I give Lee a year in NC before the Tweetsie bug bites!

Good luck with the move! We take a trip to PA each summer. I'll definitely reach out if I can sneak off down your way!

I give him ten minutes!  Boy, am I jealous.  I used to live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Boone was only about ninety minutes away.  That area of the Appalachian Mountains is one of my favorite places in the world.

Boone/Banner Elk is great, gorgeous area of the mountains there. Nowadays I prefer the Asheville area because it’s closer for day trips and it’s a craft beer Mecca…one day I’m sure it’ll swing back to Boone/Banner Elk though

Thanks to @peteski , I have begun lettering some of me decrepid old steam fleet into my Laurel Valley paint scheme.


Naturally, I didn't get the lettering centered on the tender, and I didn't notice it until I took the photo.

Oh well.  Maybe I can dream up a fancy herald that can go up in the corner like a WM Fireball or something.

Anyway, it will be fun to get the troops in a new uniform.

That's a pretty crowded market these days!

I may just back date the whole operation, and start designing a proper steam era short line layout :ashat:

The prototypes didn't always center the lettering either, so just tell people that's the way the shop crew decided to do it.

Borrowed some scenery from the Newport and Rock Falls to get some shots of the new steam locomotives.


Looks like the paint shop boys have gotten hold of another one.  Remember that basket case we picked up from @btrain in Altoona last year?



All cleaned up and ready to haul some tonnage for her new owner now.
