This a great model railroad that features steam locos not seen by most.

Well, in my last post I asked for suggestions for my first operating session on my N-scale Deer Creek and Susquehanna Railroad. That session took place last night and seemed to go quite well. Many people suggested having food and drink available and that is certainly standard protocol in the group that I operate with. One of the other suggestions was to have some maps of the layout with industries marked. I took that suggestion and ran with it, producing a folder with some of the railroad history and maps of towns along the railroad.

I've been on vacation this week and had to do the inevitable errands and honey do's  as well as trying to get my above ground pool ready for the summer season. But, amidst all that I did find time last night and today to start making some more progress on the layout  and knock out some items on a " punch list" I made up.

To All: This Early Rail Boxcar is on my "To Do" list. It was built by Whit Towers ans presented in a ~!970 issue of Model Railroader. The prototype was built by Hodges Car Company and was discussed in the 1892 Car Builders Magazine. Being 75 feet long (huge for the era) the builder installed a pivoting center truck and angled corners to negotiate around corners, Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout

Slow progress but here are some current pics.

This is my (first) blog post that I'll use to show the progress I'm making on my Free-mo module featuring a trestle (at least I think that's what this structure would be called, English not being my first language) as found on Evergreen Valley Road just a short distance away from my house, on the old Southern railroad, now part of Norfolk & Southern's Chesapeake and Western division.
