OCTOBER 2003 OPEN HOUSE - CONTINUED |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
On Sunday my helpers were Ken and Don. Here Ken is unloading his consolidation from its carrier. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Honey and Don are enjoying the sunshine. Don ran diesel trains on the Main Line while Ken ran his Rio Grande Southern steamers on the Branch Line. Thanks to Don, Ken, and Honey for helping out! |
|

|
|
Honey is greeting more of our guests. She was very good about waiting for trains to pass before crossing the tracks. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The weatherman was calling for afternoon rain, but instead it was a gorgeous mild sunny day. For some reason there were more visitors on Sunday than the day before. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Ken's RGS No. 20 coasts to a stop at the station. This engine has a nice sound system and Ken has weathered it nicely. It's battery powered, which is a good thing 'cause otherwise it wouldn't run very far! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Ken's "Annie" Ten-wheeler glides downhill while in the distance a Reading SD-45 pulls a coal drag. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Reading RS-3's pulling coal trains past the Maple Shade Station. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Honey was at it again. This time it was Dave giving in to the little beggar, with Cheese Doodles, her favorite. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
By the end of the day, Honey was exhausted. In the foreground we have found a new use for the "Budd Tote," carrying the coffee cups back to the kitchen. |
