Paul

Yet again, outstanding work.

Very well done indeed.

Thank you. One thing that doesn't show up is that the convoy, recovery & maint. drivers & co-drivers are painted as Negros like most were. The AAA crews & mechanics will be done when the dio progresses.

Am I right in thinking the train layout will be broken up and sold Paul ?
You laid that out so well , but room is important .

Dzohn, I was waiting for the end of the holidays before offering the whole shebang as a donation to whomever takes it out of my cave. I don't have room left to do the Dornot or Red Ball dios. I hope they take it and finish it. There is opportunity to expand it in several directions if room is available.

That's a great idea , hope it goes as one lot then Paul .

Looking good Paul you’ve put a lot of hard work in this.

[minitnkr]

Thanks Lee. Hopefully I'll get it done in 2023.

About 90tons worth of cargo Steve.
Thanks Andrew.
Congrats on your retirement Dude1, 2 days/wk has worked fine for me & the wife:smiling2:.

Just noodeling about w/redball ideas after putting away engineers. Deployed AAA & maint./recovery elements. Sacrificed another 5ton tractor(Mini Me donation)for another heavy dolly to use up my M35s & big tankers.

[minitnkr]

Recovery elements on standby. Just realized I never finished LaFrance boom rigging.

[JR]

Good to see this back Paul, is this because the train has gone and given you back the room ?

[minitnkr]

Thank you. Yes indeed Dzohn.

[Lee Drennen]

Liking the Dio Paul trucks are nice too

[Mini Me]

Nice little compound you've scratched up there and I totally agree with the gardening!
