Sergent Coupler’s Lonely Train Club Band

While I was taking pictures the other day I decided to take a comparison shot of a Sergent coupler and a Kadee #5 (and of course a dime for scale and added value)

Albert Lea Day 1

My legs are tired and I had to get my car jumped (Thanks again Shane!) but I did get a couple good pictures.

Albert Lea, MN Train Show

Wow, two months since my last blog post… been busy.

 

This afternoon I went down to Albert Lea, MN to setup a small free-mo setup with some people from the CenterTrak group. The show will be Dec 1st (9am-6pm) and 2nd (11a-4pm) at the Northbridge Mall in Albert Lea. Admission is free so if you find yourself in the area stop by and check it out.

Westminster 2012 Pictures

This weekend I had my first Free-mo setup and happened to take one or two photos, amazingly I didn’t get a picture with my own module… but I already know what it looks like and it’s not at all scenic’d.

Train Show

Went to the Granite City Train Show (http://www.granitecitytrainshow.com/) today and came home with a nice Kadee boxcar with the cushion underframe (nice but plastic wheels?) and a used Athearn DM&IR hopper. That one is going to need some work as it had the wrong trucks on it and the coupler pocket was a bit messed up.

I also got ore loads for my 22′ Roundhouse Ore Cars from Motrak Models (http://www.motrakmodels.net) in the mail today and they look incredible! Unfortunately my pictures didn’t turnout very well and the batteries were dying so I’ll have to take new pictures but I figured I’d upload what I took. (I promise I’ll take new ones)

Update: uploaded new pictures.
