NKP Bluebirds break-in run at the Keystone Model Railroad Club. Walleys Yard (WY) to Coaldale (CD) to River (RV) to White City via Town (TN) and return - opposite main with crossover at Valley (VY) - to Durff (DF) to Walley West (WW). A great first shakedown run.

Moderator note: Changed the video from a link to embedded inline.

@ David Calhoun

David how about some pictures of your coal mine. I would love to see how you incorporated the head house into the scene. We are using the exact same structures on a coal mine on our club layout. Your short video ended just a bit too soon for me to get a look at your structures. Thanks in advance.

Coal Mine

There should be some pictures on the Keystone Model Railroad web sitel however, I'll take some later this week in detail and post them. Our improved steel mill operation is another you might be interested in as well as our branch line with its "old time" look for modeling the early 20's and late 30's. OUr "excursion" trains run up the branch to the new hotel (a Howard Zane build) and resort.
