Good morning. Like Joe mentioned, Happy Friday. Started off at 50 degrees and sre supposed t be in the upper 80's later today. The smoke is back and my mountains are hidden again.
Eric - Thanks for the update on your condition. I realize that it is personal, but I will say that I really have to admire you for being able to put up with all that you have gone through and still have the attitude you have.
Sherrel - Sorry to hear about your family in Beaumont. About LA replacing Columbus Day, you just have to consider where they are and who they are. My wife almost gagged on her breakfast laughing when we heard that on the news this morning.
Ken D&J - Enjoy your trip.
Joe - I like the idea of yu modeling something that you are familiar with and have seen. Think I may do that (again). Like those Baldwins. I had a Stewart F-7 arrive earlier this week and am expecting another Stewart locomotive today, an F-3 in the NP Lowey passenger colors. The F-7 is in the NP freight scheme. I managed to have seen a rebuilt F-9 the day it left the Livingston yard that had just been restored by the Burlington Northern shops and may just number the F-9 7012A. Here it is the day it left for Washington State. This locomotive was also used in the movie Runaway Train.

That locomotive is now operating on the Mount Rainier Scenic Railway.

I'll just have to check the build date of this locomotive to make sure that it was around in 1957. I believe that it should be good. Also have to check and see what I may have to do to change the F-7 to an F-9.
Here's my rail photo for the day.
