Lazy days of summer

Shawn

Hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing
Its time for everyones summer shots post them here. Here are some scenes along the Kittatinny Mtn. RR. Got an early start to a great day. Started running trains at 7AM and had them running through-out the day. Starting temp was low 50's and the high was 75 degrees. I got my Aristo Rogers out since it has not seen much run time in a while and my REA Rogers is in the shop gettinga make-over.

The old Porter sits along the engine house rusting away with the rest of the junk

The Howell mine has not seen much use since the economy has gotten bad.

Here's a pic of a temporary track I laid down for the benefit of No1 grandson (honest!).

The greenery in the background has been removed and the raised bed it was in is in the process of being removed as well.
I hope to be getting something down permanently soon (I'm starting to get a feeling of deja vu!)
 
Great pics & great railroad Shawn. All those little interesting details add to the realism. The mine is brill, could see an old prospector & his mule setting up camp there.
 
Great photos and are they moose or meese.
