Atlantic and Southern RR - Throw Back Thursday

[GPdemayo]

If Greg were the engineer, the photo were be nothing but a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I'm at a loss.....I thought faster was better than slower. 

In certain things yes, in others like running locos, NO.

Tom

I stand corrected.....I'll give it a try today, see ya soon.

Greg,

I give you credit for trying. You actually got the loco around one time at normal speed. And then what happened? You went from 20-25 MPH to flat out 40 MPH+ in nothing flat.

But as you said, "I'll give it a try."

You should proud of the 5 minutes at 25 mph on the throttle.

I really tried.....but I could tell that the engine wanted wanted the throttle opened up.....kind of like Secretariat at the Belmont in '73.

After I got home yesterday I had had a Diet Pepsi and after a couple of hours the shakes I got, from running at 25 mph, subsided. 

I'll have to give it a try again the next time I'm down.....well maybe the next time in a year or two!

Suck it up Greg, I know you can do it. (some time)

My rock scenery back in 1995 was really very basic. The rock formations in the following pictures is a case in point. They were rock mold straight from WS. The actually scenery wasn't bad but the rocks look really out of place some 22+ years later.

I'm better at flat lander scenery than the mountainous type stuff.

This was the view coming around to the left of the high trestle area.





More in a few.

Looks awesome. Most modelers would be in heaven with that scenery.

Curt,

I appreciate the kind compliment. Hard to believe that scenery was done some 20 years ago.

I've learned a lot since then about modeling realistic scenery.
