| BOB AND DIANE JOHNSON | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob custom painted this GE 44 tonner in the colors of the Delaware Coast Line Rail-road, a real switching railroad found here in southern Delaware. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Travelling Budd Car got some track time, and the passengers noticed a small herd of deer out the window. The motorman stopped so they could get a better look. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Budd Car poses in front of the waterfall...and now the 44 tonner gets a turn. The pond is about 20 feet by 40 feet. The whole railroad is elevated 28 inches. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| BRAD AND BARB MOORE | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
| The bank barn has been renovated and has a brand new silo. Notice the nicely groomed tree on the left. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Arnold the Axe Man has just finished splitting a truckload of firewood and will soon be relaxing on the Adirondack chair. His little dog Muffin is sitting on the steps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| PAUL AND ANN BOTTINO | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is Brad's Amphibious Assault Vehicle. A few months ago it took a tumble off a bridge and landed in the water. It runs OK on land too! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| This year Paul added another loop to the left of this photo, featuring a brief stretch of 4-track main line. We saw several 3-train meets today but most eluded my camera. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| CRASH! - Paul was just saying how there hasn't been a wreck all day and then we heard a large crash - the caboose was rear-ended in the tunnel! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Look closely and you can see all kinds of interesting details. Here is a bear cub sitting up in his tent reading a children's book. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
