Man this thing is little. I might try to redo the photos tomorrow or Monday but not as much details involved. I really don't know how you guys do it.

I Hate when that happens!!!!! Yup - Take your time - Try, Try again Smile

Remember - I switched to "G" 'cause i couldn't "see" that evil tiny small itty-bitty scale anymore Smile Smile You should have seen me building and running the "Z" scale Eek Eek Eek Eek

You guys are either insane or very dedicated. Alright I will try it again tomorrow, but it won't take much to push me to sanity and we don't want that to happen.

Finally have some pics of the visit to my corner of the world. Now remember I model HO so this was a bit of a challenge. After all of the excitment of the arrival of this car it was a little disappointing when it arrived.

Now it is being unloaded of the crawfish. I guess that was the first thing to do.

[Image: 100_4316.jpg]

Then it was taken to the C&O park for all the festivities.

[Image: 100_4323.jpg]

[Image: 100_4322.jpg]

Oh you have got to be joking!

[Image: 100_4324.jpg]

It looks like they are putting together a miniature railroad ride for the festivities.

[Image: 100_4325.jpg]

Now the party's over, time to get back to work

[Image: 100_4325.jpg]

[Image: 100_4340a.jpg]

Looks like it is going to get a load of Gern Flux.

[Image: 100_4329.jpg]

Over the night at Gern they had an accident. Wile loading flux into that tiny door a container broke open. The result was catastrophic. I hope you guys don't get too upset. Mikey let me know how much it will cost to replace and I will have to pay for it.



Looks like a little more than 3% to me

Time to send it on its way. Might need a bigger box now.

The BB&G car is unloaded on the team track. It's contents are delivered to a local munitions factory and to the local fuel dealer. The car will be shipped with a load of flux-enhanced sabot rounds for the M1 Abrams tanks.

HEY there he is! I didn't know that the flux was going to munitions plant. Did you have any trouble getting it on the track? It was returning to n scale when I shipped it and was a tight fit in the box. Good photos and interesting trip. Oh yeah one more thing. At 15 years old n gauge probably works good but when you become an old man you will have to give up n scale. I don't know how you even get it on the track.
