GREAT NORTHERN - Lynn's Great Northern F3's certainly look great as they cross the trestle and enter the Wolverton Mountain Tunnel.

CLASSIC ENGINE - the Santa Fe Warbonnet is a very popular paint scheme.  After this engine was put away several visitors asked where it was.

STEAM VERSUS DIESEL - Two massive engines are side by side on the main line. Both the 2-8-8-2 Mallet and the SD-45 are very heavy and very powerful.

CLOSE CLEARANCE - The Mallet's cylinders barely clear the caboose.  OK, OK,it was posed that way. Notice how the front of the engine flexes with the curve.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ENGINE - Notice the driver that's fallen apart.  No wonder it's not running right!

I'M FEELING JUST FINE NOW THANK YOU - After a quick fix the engine is back on the main line speeding along with the Circus Train.

STEAM VERSUS DIESEL, PART II - The old Ten Wheeler is no match in power and speed for the Santa Fe Super Chief.

STAR POWER - The Norfolk Southern engine has a couple extra stars.  Several of the cars in Art's train have similar markings, and they're not always obvious.

LAYING DOWN THE SMOKE - Don loaded up this engine with lots of smoke fluid and ran it extra fast to see how well it would smoke.  It sure put out a lot of smoke!

FREIGHT YARD - the club's tracks are filled with trains ready to head out on the main line.  Looks just like the freight yards a few miles away.
