6.18.05 Open Meet


Three electric powered engines on the sidings, George Davidsons' red electric cab, Rex Shrivers' RMI switcher and George Metts' Scrappy. The Hudson that Karl Losely brought is on a steaming bay.
Bill Hays brought his radio controlled train from Michigan and is backing it into a siding as Gisela Hays rides on the flatcar. A closeup view of George's scratch-built electric cab unit.
Joe Laskowski brought his beautifully detailed electric interurban. Jonathan Shaffer watches as the Pacifics' safety lifts at the station as Frank Foti tends to the fire.

Another view with the activity at the station. Kevin Harris and Jon Jaros were putting the gold lettering on the club's passenger car which will finally finish the cars construction.

The clubs' car was named in honor of Clyde & Anne Bleil, Clyde being one of the charter members from 1977. Jon and Kevin working on the other side of the car with the lettering.
Another view of the passenger car. Franks' Pacific resting across from the water tank waiting to go out on the mainline rails again.
Ken Vendlinger is backing his electric powered switcher into a siding in Orchard Yard. Bill Hays at the station.

Joe waiting for traffic to clear so he can enter the station with his interurban. Karl with the Hudson and three of Dick Tomlinsons and the clubs passenger car entering the station.

The Hudson on the switch at the station with the firebox glowing. Robbi Haines, Marcel Uhrich and Marty McGuan at the train with the empty string of passenger cars.
Time to load up and head out as Marcel checks out passengers loading. Franks' Pacific waits as Dicks' passenger cars are coupled to the engine for the next run.
Three steamers at the coal tipple, the Pacific, Hudson and the Baldwin switcher. A quarter view on of the engines. Notice the different color of smoke due to the type of coal they are using.

The Pacific with the passenger car consist patiently waiting to "stretch" its' side rods. Dick Tomlinson and Frank Foti posing for the camera.

One last picture of Franks' engine. These last six pictures were provided by Frank Foti.
