The show floor was going to be open until 8pm so the late arrivals could set up. Everybody in our group had gone home for the night. Now was my chance, and I took it!
The first thing I had to do was get these wheezers out of the terminal and back on the roundhouse garden tracks where they belong. I used my trusty 0-5-0 switcher with 2 armed burro crane to do the job quickly, yet delicately... oh so.. delicately...
Then the terminal was clear for take-over!
(L to R) Custom Williams SD45-2LW, Custom K-Line GP38-2LW, MTH GP38-2 with scale wheels, fixed pilots and Kadee couplers, 2 MTH SD70m's, and a CONSIST made up of and Atlas SD40 and 2 Weaver GP38-2's
Later, the next morning, while I was sleeping soundly in my hotel bed, our group came back and stared in wonder at the glorious locomotive display I created the night before, almost like kids on Christms day.
Then they cursed and swore until they were red-faced because somebody touched their trains without their permission. Ahhhh good times.... : )
