Hi All:
The Tour Car arrived in sunny hot North Fort Myers this past Saturday, May 21. The first thing I took the liberty to do was send the car to repair for a temporary replacement of the coupler/trucks. It has rapido couplers and I had a spare set of knuckle coupler/trucks that I installed temporairly so I could run on our Tidewater N-Trak Layout at my club, Scale Rails of Southwest Florida ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.scalerails.org/">http://www.scalerails.org/</a><!-- m --> ).

Temporary couplers/trucks installed

Then it was onto the layout and over to the Box Plant to pick up "potato boxes". The box plant is on the puzzle part of our layout where we have a "Time Saver" and an Inglenook puzzle.

A closer shot of the box plant where the potato boxes were being loaded. The boxes will make sense in a couple of pictures.

Leaving the box plant the Tour Car passes the Antique Car show that was in progress.
