What it looks like today 3-9-2020In late 2014 Tony Koester asked if he could use the first photo in his “Train of thought” column in “Model Railroader” The photo ran in the February 2015 issue.

Tree Tunnels

Creating a tree tunnel

In addition to my modeling another interest ( obsession ) of mine is my motorcar ( speeder )..

On a trip in New England a few weeks ago I noticed sort of a natural phenomenum that I don't believe I have ever seen modeled.

Thanks
