| FRAMING PROGRESS - It's Wednesday and all the 2x4's have been installed. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| PLYWOOD COMPLETE - Now the structure is very solid. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| FIRST RUN - The trackwork was completed Saturday morning. Of course The Budd Car was the first train to run on the completed loop. | FIRST FREIGHT TRAIN - The RS-3 pulls a string of hopper cars around the new section. The complete loop is 167 feet long. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| SECOND COAL TRAIN - This one is 17 cars long, all cars having metal wheels, so it makes a nice sound running around the room. | SURROUND SOUND - Charlotte is inside the loop, where the sound of the coal train is all around her. She really likes it! | ||||||||||||||||||||
| OVERALL VIEW - It's Sunday morning, and here's an overall view of the basement layout as you enter the room.. There's a lot of work to do yet, but at least the trains are running! | |||||||||||||||||||||
