CP Rail's Holiday train

The Holiday season is upon us again and as usual CP rail is on the road with their Holiday train.This link will take you to a video of the activities. Of real interest is at the end of the video where there are links to great drone videos showing the build progress of the Belle Plaine Spur. Their site also shows where the train will appear and when. This is also a wonderful cause to help feed the needy.

Something you don't see often

Well, for as often as you seen Civil War era modeling, at least.

Anyway, there are several railroad photos in this but look for the huge windmill used for pumping water for the water tank.

Artist inspired by model railroad scene

In many model railroad forums, including MRH, you find discussions on whether or not model railroading could be considered a kind of art. Anyway, here is an example that a model railroad layout could at least inspire people to create a piece of art. The picture below, I got from Russian dieselpunk artist Inago.
