Once again the now traditional breakfast before our New Years Day Run was held at the home of the Uhrich's for club members and friends before our run at the Park. |

Without using flash it took on the setting of a candlelight dinner. Mike our gracious chef and co-host made sure that the serving counter was kept full of food. |

Robbi Haines, Bridget Murphy and Sandy Saffell. Time to head out to the track where we find Paul Emch has coupled two rider cars to an engine and is backing into the station for someone to run the train. |

Matt Philpott brought his trolley and was fielding questions about the power train for the interurban. With one passenger aboard Matt opens the throttle on his electric powered interurban. |
 |
 |
Meanwhile Jon Jaros has unloaded his Northern that is under construction and is sitting on the track next to the car barn. A view of the flue pipes at the smoke box end. |
 |
 |
A view of the pilot from track level. This is the first time we have seen the chassis with the boiler mounted on it and it makes a very imposing image. | >

A side view of the 4-8-4 Northern with the cast stack just sitting on the smoke box. A three quarter view showing the backhead of the fire box and the stays in the firebox sides. |

The
cylinder and pony truck showing his progress to date. A close-up
of the running mechanism and that will all have to be painted, a
chore in itself.

Jon pulling his Northern chassis getting some time on it and its starting to rain hard. It is raining harder and unfortunately for Dick, Jon is running slow on the wet rails. Two guys are about to really get wet. |
 |
 |
Jerry and Pam head for the siding by the steaming bays and you can see the rain coming down. Jon back at the station...all wet, his Northern will probably get a rub down. |
