Progress

Well - progress is still ongoing on the Nottingham Subdivision albeit at a reduced pace. Managed to get a few nights in the layout room layout. Still working on the pond area... in the meantime thought I would post a picture of the newest motive power on the sub. The picture is of the Maine Central's only two RS-11's. #601 and 602 round a bend as the engineer gets ready to lay on the horns - the poor guy working on his pickup better have his heart medicine ready. Till next time....

Hey Hey -What's That Sound

Sound equipped loco's in HO scale are a relatively new on the scene (at least affordable ones anyhow). The larger scales have enjoyed this feature for some time now. I myself don't have a large fleet of sound equipped locos - actually at the moment I have one diesel and one steam that are so equipped. There are just not alot of models right now that I ma interested in purchasing ( Read - waiting for Maine Central units). That being said, I have 3 Intermountain U18B sound equipped locos reserved through my local dealer. The latest is that they will be shipped sometime next spring. Atlas has also recently released another run of GP38/40's that are now sound equipped, so I just have to wait for them to do another run of GP38's in Maine Central. On another note, I have recently started to scenic an area that I plan on putting a pond in. I have to hit the books/ Internet, to ensure I get some good ideas. I will post some pics when I have completed the area - till then have a peek at a short Video clip of my sound equipped diesel leading a local interchange freight. Till next time....
