Well its time for more photos of the BB&G car.
This first photo the color was all messed up for some reason. I tried to correct it and this is what I ended up with so please be kind. The train of empty coal cars/hoppers is headed out for Crooked Creek.

Here it is after uncoupling the locomotive has switched to other track and is heading back to the round house for servicing.

Now it is running with no problems. If you remember it was stuck just out of reach on a dead track. Now I can reach that track and it is no longer dead.

I parked it in front of the Golf Course Field House that I built for Shamus when we were at the old site Smile I had sent an engine to him in England and he sent me an engine he built. It's just a tad "off" since it's actually On30, but heck, it's the only HO power I own now Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Looks good to me. I don't remember seeing any HO track on your layout, where was it hiding?

Mikey, It's good to see the tour car, behind one of Shamus' locomotives ( HOn3??, that cab looks more like On30 ).

When the car reaches the end of the tour, I'll try to remember to pick it up with a former Badger Creek Climax.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

Have you thought of posting that photo to Shamus's All Model Railroading Line forum?

Yeah, I did, but this engine is already posted there somewhere Smile The pics are about 5 or 6 years old. I would only be adding the Big Blue Car to their site, so I decided not to post it.

Somewhere on the Coon Creek site, you can see this engine on his layout too.
