What's In A Name

What's in a name?
Well a name is important if you are a new operator on my layout.
If you are given the job of either the Ashtown or Shellville local you would ask yourself where the heck is that?
Well after a few years of looking I finally found letters that suitable to place on the fascia that surrounds my layout.
Thanks Micheals!

CN Extra 1762

Well it will soon be a year since my last post so I figured it was time to post a picture or two.

Road Trip

Barry Scott and I decided to head over to Halifax last Saturday to operate on a few layouts in the area.
Along the way we stopped to pick up Al from Moncton. He was waiting for us in Aulac.
We met up with some of the local gang there just outside of Halifax and operated on The Fall River Eastern Railroad.
After operating there for a few hours we went to lunch. I parted company with the guys for a few hours as they went onto visit The Nottingham Sub layout and then operate later on The White River Southern. That is where I caught up the gang again and took control of one of the locals that had to be run that day.

The Moncton Invasion

Here we see two of the Codiac Ops Groups finer operators in action. Ben & Jim in the foreground are having a debate as which cars Jim will be leaving Ben. In the background you see Milne & Murry sorting out what gets picked up in Shellville. Just out of the picture to the right is john who is busy sorting cars for the next outbound trains.

Moncton Invasion Part 2

Here we have the other part of the Moncton Invasion. In the form of John, Murry and Milne.
John is sorting the yard. Murry is operating a way-freight and Milne is doing the Shellville local.

The Passenger Extra

Milne decided that since he is a big fan of passenger trains he would take the mostly ignored RDC for a spin around the layout.

What Happened Here?

I am sure Jim Had something to do with this. But it does not get by Ben's watchful eye! Can we say demerit Jim!!
