| After a big snowstorm on February 12, the Budd Car is ready to leave Honeytown Depot with the morning commuter train. |
|
Seven months later, on September 27, it cruises by the boathouse at the pond, where a canoe and rowboat float in the pond. |

Back in the cage! At a later show, on June 24, the Budd Car has finished its run and scoots back into its "Budd Tote" under its own power. |
|
|
The Budd Car takes a spill rounding a curve! This was at the Mason Dixon Club floor layout at the Great Scale Train Show in Timonium Maryland, on February 4. |

It was raining when we visited Karl Reichenbach's place on June 25, but the trains were running just fine. Here the Budd passes a hard-working Heisler. |
|
|
On June 3, on the other side of town, the Budd Car rounds a curve on the moss-covered layout of Tom Parkins. In a few minutes it will stop at Lumbrook Station. |

WILD RIDE AHEAD - Here at Tom Weaver's place in Doylestown, PA, the track was damaged a few weeks before by a deer running into the elevated structure. We were in the process of dismantling the layout anyway. The date was October 9, 2006. |
|
| Mallet 1, Budd 0 - a B&O 2-8-8-2 Mallet passes the spot where the Budd Car de-railed and fell on its side. This car is VERY sensitive to track imperfections. This was in Bel Air, Maryland, on September 17. |

|
| BUDD TIGHT - Clearance that is, as the car checks tunnel clearance at the Mason Dixon Club's modular layout at the B&O Museum. This was during setup, 11/15/06. |
|
|
BUDD LIT - The side of the car reflects the bright lights of the carnival, during a quiet time at the B&O Museum on November 25. |
