Switcherama was great fun

The LVN was the last run of the year 2011.  The guys had loads of fun with this operating concept.  Enjoy

Update to the track plan

Here is the update trackplan with all the new structures included.  It was produced by my good friend and fellow train operator Joel Racine.  Thanks Joel.

FNGers Ops Session November 2011

Video of the action and banter

I am in the process of updating the FNG Blog with images from past sessions that hadn't been posted. Here we see Stan, David and Bill enjoying an ops session at Jim McSherry's gorgeous E&N (Esquimalt and Nanaimo) RR based on Vancouver Island.

Mike Mueller brought out this little critter he recently purchased at the Syracuse Train Show. It's a 45-tonner that he detailed with further painting.

This is a nice Pennsy car brought out by Mike Mueller. This freightcar carried automobiles and the car was loaded at a team track.

All of Jim's trackwork is handlaid. The senery is spectacular around the log dump. Jim attended a workshop on backdrop painting offered by fellow FNG'er Chris Lyon and he is painting his own backdrops.

Here is a great view of Jim's log dump. The water pour was done by the talented Bill Meek.

Jim and Bill are enjoying a conversation about Jim's latest scenic developments.
