On September 21, 2009, Peachtree Creek decided that it wanted to branch out and see the world.  Part of that world was my basement.  I did get most of my HO-Scale rolling stock out of harm's way before the waters reached us, but a lot stayed down there.

It took nearly three days to pump out the basement. Here is one G-Guage Bachmann 4-6-0 that got unearthed from the muck once we got in there to clean up.  I'd say that she's an example of REAL extreme weathering!

Do you think you can save her?

That's a lot of mud and muck, wonder if she'll run again.

Georgia on my mind

I would say Dull Cote it so handling doesn't mar the weathering but not needed in this case. Georgia red clay is indestructible!

That red stack

Sheesh, could you at least dull down that red stack tip to match? So sorry for your loss, so proud of you or sharing and making light of a bad situation. I hope you get her back to running condition and then have a really great story with pictures! Thomas G.
