It was my day to see the Big Boy, the crowds were unbelievable. our chosen spot was packed when we arrived at 0800for an 11:00 train so we had to go to an alternate spot. It worked out because it was a perfect distance from the track and the state police removed all of the trespassers
Jim, I am wishing you well with the doctor.

Great Picture!! Have you ever seen one before?
The only place I've seen one is at Steamtown USA in Scranton, PA

Thank You Mikey. My fiance was determined to get me there one way or another because she knew I wanted to see it.

Hello Blue
The two of us had a quiet weekend, nothing from the kids except the youngest who had a good walleye fishing day.
The club layout was at a weekend exhibit that wasn't well promoted but those who saw the layout liked it.
Last time out gas was $3.84 but with more fighting going on it will probably go up again.

Ngauger, the one at Scranton is the only other one I have seen. My FRA inspector at the Kiski was chief mechanical officer for the Lehigh Valley when the Big Boy was moved to Scranton
. He said they put the tender on the ground twice on a sharp curve.
All's quiet here today.

Good evening folks
Saturday, I took my wife to HomeGoods in St. Davids, and we went to the grocery store next door. While we were in the grocery store, there was a nasty thunderstorm with high winds and heavy downpours. Our trip home involved going around several downed trees and utility poles and a detour. Somehow our neighborhood was spared.
Sunday, we had to run to the pharmacy and get gas for my wife’s car. We moved a small azalea from one garden to another garden in the front of the house. The azalea and its root ball were heavier than expected, and as a result, I may have overdone it, as I am experiencing pain.
I finished the Trade Tower and placed it on the layout. I am probably going to move it elsewhere within the city. I cleaned out some of the stuff that has collected near the layout. The basement is still in disarray from the broken soil pipe and repairs.
I hope everybody has a good evening.
