Conrail Windsor St Yard (York PA) Engineering Report

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Here are a few shots of my B&O EM1 pulling a coal drag on Ed's layout.

That EM-1 looked beautiful running around. It's welcome back any time!

That's hawt!

Thanks! I feel the same way about your progress.

Love the winter season...Do you plan on doing piles of snow, like on the Alagash?

Looks great like always!!

No snow. Well, until I find a weather report from December of 85 that indicates it snowed, then I might change my tune.

I think I remember seeing a track plan someplace. Anyone know what page?

I don't have a full trackplan, but I do have these, which have track schematics (and lots of other fun things).

York saw roughly 5" of snow in December '85:

That's a total. Don't know if that was all in one storm or otherwise, but you can change the date on the history report to isolate the exact day(s).

Hmm... ok, well, maybe I might do a dusting in some scenes. So now I need to figure out the shadow areas of the layout for accumulation. Dammit.

Lol.

The holidays have slowed some things down, but I'm still making progress up the NCR.

Looks like the local when I was a kid. Conrail had a set of GP10's stationed in Y-town for pushers on the line up to Astabula, but they always worked the local to Hubbard to switch Valley Mould.

I got a new printer today (thanks for all the recommendations, went with an Epson inkjet).

So does that mean I can call you for decals

As long as they're not white.

So, what'd you print in that photo?  The backdrop?
