Here's a little update to the photo of 491. She is no longer stationary , but running at the Museum for special events.

So, how special dose an event have to be to end up in a museum ?

Hi Steve. Where abouts in Denver are you?

Welcome aboard, Nick.

Welcome Nick..
Hope you can cope with British humour, and (not knowing my US geography) hoping you are not near Florence?

Knowing a bit of US geography.... Florence is in the same state (Colorado), even had a railroad with that name (Florence and Cripple Creek).

Do most of you run your trains year round?

I run 'something' nearly every day.. - Though much is on rollers, as I 'fix and fettle'..

This year, I have had track outside for months, and have used that for play testing battery / RC / analogue (batteries bodged in a trailing vehicle)..
Cut the grass on Sunday, and am contemplating dropping the track back down.. There is a slight chance No's 3&4 Grandsons might be passing on Sunday.

Im hoping to start putting together my layout in the next couple weeks. Im not sure how much I will get done before the snow flies. Id be happy if I had at least one loop down. Id like to be able to run in the winter months whenever possible. Was thinking of making a cover to lay over the track when it snows. Not sure how it will all play out, but im excited to finally start working on it.
