Hi, I would like to have a fun operations game.

A train is sent into the world. Anyone can pick it up, switch out some cars and send it on with a picture. There is no need to match the equipment being sent, just have some fun.

Please keep the train reasonably short and state your railroad station.

Have fun

It's another week . . . post 'em if you got 'em.  There were a few late-comers in last week's post.  Check them out, then come back here afterward.

We often hear of the "transition era" referring to the final years of steam running alongside early diesels in the mid- to late-1950s.  As someone born post-steam and who prefers to model what I've actually seen, I've never had an interest in basing a layout on that period.  However, there have been many more transition eras since then, and I've found that the opportunity they afford to model the juxtaposition of old against new can add a lot of interest to our modeling.
