Looking good Kelly! Eagerly awaiting the start of the season.

Will #90 carry GW into the season or for the charter only?

Regards,

Joshua

How do you make faux rivet heads and how do you apply them?

Thanks so much for the updates Kelly. I'm happy the tender for 90 turned out so well- hopefully it can serve as a precident for future tender repairs. The new backshop also looks outstanding. I should be down on the weekend of March 4-5 to see things firsthand.

I'll be down at the railroad on the 25th and I'll take a peek at 90. Great progress as always!

The extension to the backshop is also nearing completion, there was a crew here this morning installing the overhead crane. I expect that we will be able to occupy the new shop within the month.


That's right, rub it in! Flaunt that nice work facility in everybody's face, you scumball!

Seriously, the only pictures I've looked at with more longing are the ones you find on those not-so-nice websites that feature scantily clad women. You don't know what I'd give to have the $$$$$ to build a facility like that at SCRM!

Wow, man...

Beautiful paint, rivets, everything. I can't believe that's a completely new tender!

It kind of reminds me of another freshly painted locomotive.
