Weekend at the Movies 9/5/2014

Last weekend I spent Sunday and Monday chasing trains:  Saturday it was the move of exCNJ 0-6-0 #113 from Minersville PA down the R&N to Port Clinton.

Monday was the "Anthracite Express," a photo charter on the R&N with #425.  (#113 was supposed to doublehead, but was bad ordered with a leaky brake valve.  She ran fine solo with her engine brakes, but couldn't hold air tied into a train behind #425.)

Last night (Friday Night) I did a running session featuring my recently purchased LCCA 2012 Convention NS Support Our Troops Box Car.  Ken

A short video of the LionChief Plus GP-7, with crew-talk and smoke from dual stacks.   The crewtalk is clear and actually makes sense with the movement of the locomotive.

Forgot my camera today, so the best I have of the National Capital Trackers in Kensington, MD is this I-phone movie. The Dixieland Band added a lot of interest as well. I won't forget the camera tomorrow and will try to do better!

This afternoon a video shot from a caboose:
