CALVERT CENTRAL - PAGE 8
CONTINUOUS RUNNING AT LAST
MARCH 3-9, 2008
[home]
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!
