I just realized that I have not posted anything about the G&O since last summer. So I thought I would catch up.
The annual Halloween show was held October 28, 201. This is always a fun show.
The G&O Christmas show is among my favorite. This show was held December 2 and 3, 2017.
A G gauge train crosses the Norris Falls trestle. I sprayed the trees with fake snow. I think that I should have used more snow spray but I didn't know if it would damage or kill the trees. The trees are still alive so I will use more snow next year.
This is one of the G&O's snow cities. Ceramic buildings do well outdoors.
We always encourage and teach kids to run trains. This lad is running on the children's display.
These are a couple of views of our children's display. We have discovered that Lion Chief engines are perfect for running on the children's display. The controller is easy for kids to learn. We can regulate the speed of the trains so that don't derail by setting the maximum track voltage.
The G&O crew has a tradition of gathering on New Years day to run trains. Here are photos taken on January 1, 2018.
This is a brass 3rd Rail SP Mountain pulling a mix of K-Line and MTH cars. The photo was taken on the Norris Falls bridge.
This lad and his father stopped by. We let him run trains.
The New Haven is represented on the G&O. This Williams PA has been converted to battery power.
This Lionel Big Boy is pulling a long Pacific Fruit Express reefer train across the Norris Falls bridge.
A Lionel GG-1 with a PRR Congressional is ready to depart Depot Yard.
A G gauge train crosses the Bouey Canyon Bridge.
SLHRS members have hosted several groups during the past few years. On Friday, March 9, 2018 the crew hosted a home school group.
The children's display was decorated with Flint Stones figures. The Lion Chief Thomas engine is holding the high iron.
Girls were very interested in running trains. This young lady is running two trains at the same time.
The home school group gathered on the Depot's front porch and sang "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "Jawn Henry".
The group was given an Operation Lifesaver Presentation. The SLHRS has given Lifesaver presentations to over 30,000 children in the local schools.
This is my Lionel Drag Race set. It makes drag race sounds when it starts.
This fellow was looking over the train action.
The G&O crew has had an active 2018. I cover those events in another post.
