| OUT THE DOOR - The Budd Car creeps onto new track installed Saturday morning. The track descends around the curve to a low spot near the church. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| FRESH AIR - The weather was warm and sunny on Saturday afternoon. Charlotte enjoyed it with horseback riding and I enjoyed it with building the railroad. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| BUDD IN THE GARDEN - The Budd Car rolls past Honey. The track runs along the edge of the garden. In this case the garden was there before the tracks. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| TIPTOEING THROUGH THE VIOLETS - The GP-40 glides between beds of violets. This location is technically in the front yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| OUT IN THE FRONT YARD - Sunday afternoon the coal train is at the end of track, about 76 feet from the point it left the basement. The track traces the edge of the garden except at a particularly sharp corner near the engine's present location. | WE'RE REALLY OUT IN THE COUNTRY - We heard the clip-clop of a trotting horse and Charlotte grabbed the camera in time to take a picture of an Amish buggy passing by. This is about the same angle as the picture on the left. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| BUDD LIGHT IN THE MOONLIGHT - There was a full moon on Saturday night, and I tried to take a picture of the Budd Car in the bright moonlight. The headlight lights up the track nicely, but there wasn't quite enough light for a clear photograph.. | |||||||||||||||||||||
