2006 LAYOUT AT THE B&O MUSEUM DECEMBER 23, 2006

[home page]

HAPPY FACES - Little Stevie and his mommy are obviously happy to be here, enjoying trains at the B&O RR Museum on a beautiful sunny and mild Saturday.

MORE HAPPY FACES - Club members Marie and Walt brought Walt's son and his wife for a visit to the Museum.  They're having a great time!

WORKING THE CROWD - Joe is explaining something to the folks, but it's hard to hear what he's saying over the roar of the trains as they speed along.

ON THE FLY - Gary is trying to catch one of his train cars without stopping the train, being careful not to hit Don's circus train in the process.

TRAIN WRECK - The circus train's engine ran into the caboose a few minutes later, but it wasn't Gary's fault.  It was a coupler that let go while we weren't looking.

SPEEDING ALONG - The two trains are speeding by the motorcyle shop, with the Mallet temporarily ahead.  The Mikado will pull out ahead at the next curve.

TRAIN RACE - Joe's Mallet raced side by side with Pete's Mikado for several hours, both with sound, both tugging long trains.

SLOWING DOWN - The Mikado slows down so the crew can check the engine, which has been pulling 31 cars for several hours now.

TRAIN WRECK # 2 - In the process of restarting, the operators inadvertently put the Mikado in reverse and here's what happens when you're not careful!
