Happy Friday Guys!
Thanks for starting the photo thread last week. I was In D.C for the week & didn't have time to get to the computer.

Here's a couple of older shots -










Took Lorenzo to do a little railfanning near Roanoke last weekend -

Dave,
Does the Kanawha River RR follow the river from Point Pleasant to Charleston, old NYC?
Or is it from Charleston eastward?
That IS a nice paint scheme.

"I know nuthink!" Seriously, seeing those motors parked across from the Shoney's that we went to for breakfast was the first time that I had ever heard of the Kanawha River RR.

Today I received a package of Union Pacific Aluminum Cars, 6-39146.

They will negoitate O-31 curves.

How cool is that?

I believe the LionMaster Big Boy can run on O31 curves. Looking, looking for Big Boy...

$899.99 in Lionel catalog.

RARE LIONEL 6-11208 UNION PACIFIC LIONMASTER SCALE 4-8-8-…$1,599.00 + $40.00 shipping on eBay.

I have patience. I can wait for one to show up that is no more than catalog price.

You just gotta get some wider curves or some smaller cars.
Waiting for the video.
