1/31/16

Well, it's the last day of January but it feels like it should be March or April, 50F or 10C today.  That ends today with a snow storm predicted that is supposed to begin tomorrow.  This goes back to a nice warm day in September at a friend's place in Minnesota where he has a large scale railroad.  This is his Challenger locomotive and it's train just after it crossed the bridge alongside the pond.  His friend and co-hort who helped him build the railway is operating the locomotive.  I have been allowed to operate this one and it just seems to go on forever when you are in the seat.  It's 12 inch scale but quite large for that.  A beautifully detailed locomotive as well.
