2007 CHRISTMAS LAYOUT AT B&O MUSEUM SETUP - PAGE 2

[home]

TOUCHUPS - Dick is reshaping a tree as part of touching up the Wolverton Mountain corner module.  This module has been used every Christmas at least 15 years now!

LUNCHTIME - Don P. served us a delicious barbequed pork lunch on Saturday and here is the bratwurst and sauerkraut he served Sunday.  Thanks Don!

FIRST TRAIN RUNNING - Not a battery-powered Budd Car this time, no, it's a battery-powered Eggliner, approaching in the distance along the wavy straight track. This was on Saturday.  On Sunday we had an SD45-powered coal train and a B&O Rail Diesel Car running once the wiring was done.

SECOND TRAIN RUNNING - It's a B&O "Speedliner" RDC, fresh out of the box.  Yes, Pete does has a few track-powered trains.

YARD THROAT - Two tracks spread out into 7 yard tracks, and we thought to get a picture today so next year we won't forget how we arranged all the switches!

STOP THAT TRAIN - Lee is adding bumpers to the ends of the yard tracks, a very important safety feature that will stop trains from falling onto the concrete floor.

READY FOR THE SHOW - It's Sunday afternoon about 2 PM and the layout is ready.  It's very quiet now, but five days from now there will be big crowds here.

TIME TO GO - Joe is just finishing up before we leave for the day. Our gang was here setting up from about 8 to 4 Saturday and 9 to 2 Sunday.
