I want to thank Marty & Carrie for hosting such a GREAT EVENT! I enjoyed meeting several members of mylargescale there. I had a blast. I want to also thank Mike Kidman for getting my Phoenix sound system installed in my Mallet and for wiring my GP-30 for battery power in time for this weekend.
Here are a couple pictures right after the group photo.

Great images, Leon....  You had some great looking trains.  The IC colors sure take me back to my roots in Illinois.....
 
The Mallet was an impressive runner...

Thanks Stan, Great scenery on the railroad really helps the photo's and Marty has accomplished some of the best.
Thanks Dave, Thought you might like the photos. What a great day running trains I had!!! It was so fun running on something bigger than a 20'x30' railroad.

Good pictures, Leon. It was good running with you. I was able to post some more pictures over on LSC under Conventions, Shows and Clubs. Unbelievable how many people were there.

That was the first day I had sound in my Mallet. I thought it was great also. Had to run it for my wife when I got home and she was really impressed!!
