I took these photos back in 2005 when Union Pacific moved the 4023 to its new display location at Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha, Nebraska.

I grabbed them to experiment with the Animoto video creation service.  Don't know if I'll continue to use Animoto, but I thought some of you would like to see a Big Boy moving down a residential street.

The Sanborn Lumber Co. is built and positioned on the layout. It is located in my Ashland Ind. Area. I still need to do the signage, add the details, do the entry driveway & parking lot. It is a Walthers  "Walton & Sons Lumber Co." kit. The first three photos are shown below.

Our club has some unique railroadianna, and have been approached about selling our RF&P Headlight and number board (the one that goes below the cab) from a steam locomotive, don't recall the type.  I was wondering if anyone could suggest a place to look to determine what price we should ask for it.  The locomotive number is 304, in case someone knows something unique about that locomotive.

Thanks,

Here is my new design for my Tonopah and Tidewater RR.  The old model railroad had to be moved from a 15X15 room in Reno to a 3rd car garage in Las Vegas and it couldn't moved intact.  Only the left side and the top with bridge is intact. The new design is influenced by Trevor Marshall and others who advocate simpler switching layout designs.  So the new version depicts a small section of the railroad in Goldfield rather than 30 miles depicted in 25 feet.  If you have not been in Nevada imagine desert scenery with mine hoist and mills everywhere.
