'sharp' in both the technical sense of the word, and as a term of appreciation...   Take a good look at the weathering!

That should give someone excellent weathering ideas.

Neat, thanks for the post Dave.....

Thanks for the photo, Dave.  I've been studying the track in the foreground, specifically the rails.

pretty sure I see 2 different rail sizes, but definitely some missing hardware and a couple fairly short rail splices.

Definitely light rail all around!

Ouf. I have a couple of these, smaller ones, one built, one waiting to be assembled.  This is gold.  Thank you.

Yes, a "compromise joint" almost directly below the crankshaft, three missing joint bolts and two 'Dutchmen' (rails shorter than 10 feet) below the compromise joint.

Karl,

Always worth checking a different web browser. I couldn't get it to go either, using Safari on my MacBook Pro. It worked fine with Chrome.
