Unfortunately, very little visible progress was made during the second
half of 2006 . Time has been taken up with getting the pointwork
functioning properly after the ballasting and several points have been
rebuilt. Paul has also been doing sterling work in getting the rolling
stock running more reliably and has also replaced most of the wheelsets
on our freight cars with metal ones.
Chris spent a lot of time researching and redrawing the plans of the
Mauch Chunk station building in AutoCAD (please contact us if you want
the files) in preparation for building it this year. Steve has started
on the Mauch Chunk Ironworks.
The photos below were mostly taken
at our open day at the end of November and also show a Hallmark Babyface
(wrong prototype - I know) painted for us by
Blake Tatar.
We hope to make some modifications to the roof vents to improve it's
appearance as the CNJ version.
We wish you all a Happy New Year
for 2007 and happy modelling!
