Reading Blue Mountain and Northern 2102 update?

Maxrailroad posted:

Anyone know how the restoration is coming?

Yes, the employees that are working on her know.

When will she be ready for excursion service?

Summer of 2018, maybe?

 Edit: Unlike the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, the 2102 folks are NOT making any future projections/promises, which then are not met and folks are disappointed. In other words, when the 2102 is done,,,,,,,,she will be done!

Thanks for the responce! I am excited to see it when its ready. My lionel version is by far one of my favorite steam engines. 

Too bad you seem to have missed my thread 2 weeks ago (midweek photos; 4/26/17) in which I posted all about my R&N BUDD RDC trip and steam shop tour on 4/22/17.
It's funny, over 100 people were on this trip, but only myself and another fellow over on Trainorders seem to have posted any photos, I guess most people keep their photography secret, or just put them on their personal faceplant site, which is actually pretty sad.

All well and good, however any and all photographs, simply show work in progress.

I was actually addressing the OP and informing him that the subject had been covered in my thread 2 weeks ago.

I thought the RDC trip was run pretty well, especially compared to the aborted WMSR/734 trip I took last year. I was rather pleased with my results, given it was 1 of my first attempts at using a DSLR outfit, and also the lack of sun, which did seem to confuse some people.
645, sorry our paths did not cross as I always enjoy talking to experienced photographers/enthusiasts.

Thanks for replying, yes I am fairly new to both organized photo charters and DSLR photography.  For over 20 years, I used Nikon manual SLR cameras (Models FE, FG, FM) and a variety of fixed and telezoom lenses, combined with K-25/64 slide film, and the Fuji Velvia after K-64 died. I started dabbling with P&S Digitals in 2009, and went through about 1/2 dozen of various manufacturers until finally getting a factory refurbed Nikon D-7000 body last year. I used a fixed AF 50mm lens from my film cameras on it until the R&N trip, when I obtained a Nikkor 18x140mm telezoom.
I originally got into my 35mm photography hobby just before my 30th birthday, after surviving the decade of the 1980s, I needed a diversion.
I am better known in the fire apparatus photography hobby, with various books, magazine articles, and photo contributions to my credit, but RR photography has always been a greater challenge.

I understood the R&N trip to be the annual "outing" for the sponsoring NRHS group, and sales were opened up to the public in hopes of a sell-out, which is what happened. A little patience and my new lens got me people-free shots at almost every stop.

This is from an Email I sent to Andrew Muller who I am personal friends, despite what people say. 

"Hi Andy,

Where did you get the F7's and Bud car from? 

And hows the 02 coming along?
