| Well, I still have a lot of work to do, but the track is continuous and trains will run!!
Her's a sneak peak at the first recorded lap on the new LP&W.
ENJOY!

| Dave,
What a fine long run you have. That's going to look so neat once you've got your structures, etc., in place.
I must admonish you for a safety violation however. It is obvoius that you need a crossing gate at one point on the railroad. That "fella" in the t-shirt ran to cross in front of the train and while he stopped just in time he almost lost his arm !   " border=0> | |

| Yes Richard I know.. That "fella" was me.. (Even I didn't know I could still move that quick).. There was a pair of leather work gloves on the track.. We didn't want to call the FRA and have to report a collision/derailment on the inagurial run.
Thanks Ron, Glad you enjoyed it.. I've sure had fun in the building and creative end of things. | |

| Wow, that is a Big loop of track! Nice Dave! After so many hours of work, that first run is always thrill.
Caught that switch just in time didn't ya?
I think I saw a big grin on your face there.
Not sure if you saw, but I waved going by. lol
