We're the "featured group" in the station Rotunda

 

 

We're also looking forward to utilizing the 12 ft extension of our 8 track yard.

When Weaver closed, JohnB made me an incredible offer on a 2-8-0 Consolidation. After a trip to the "Walt" backshop, it made it's debut this weekend at the SMV. It is now cab #917 in honor of the sole survivor in its class (one of the lost engines of Roanoke). 

 

I must admit that TMCC locomotives do run better with Legacy.

Very nice work. Glad to see you had railings on the platform, too many of our workers have suffered injuries while tending to the layout chores without following posted safety procedures!

Updating with some photos now that we have completed our 2015 exhibition season which started in August and ended in mid-January.

1st is an overhead shot of the set up as it currently is.....approximately 21X34. These were taken by Tom (Gilly&N&W) from the 2nd level of the Science Museum of Virginia.

Also, you can see our "small portable" 6X11 layout which we take to smaller venues.

In a very surprising development, it was announced yesterday that Maxwell D. Dogg, (River City 3 Railers official mascot) will be attending Law School next year.

Accompanying him will be Peter's son, to keep Max supplied in Kibbles and to keep him company . While club members were well aware of Max's Engineering talents, his desire to challenge the bar came as a total surprise. Should he choose to become a Prosecutor, we fully expect for him to take a bite out of crime. We wish Maxie well in becoming the first ever Jurist-Canine.

Max will certainly miss all the fun he had at RC3R activities! 

Here's the video from yesterday.
