    Running my new FVM FXE ES44AC's on Brain Chiara's TehachaChi subdivision. I apologize for the poor quality photos. With the grades and weighted cars the FVM ran superb. I am no expert but I was very impressed with these units.

    Dave talked me into FINNALLY getting back into the train room! We had to push through the snowboards, car parts, and other clutter and clean the track but it was worth it. I too was rather impressed with those Fox Valley Models units. The Atlas and Intermountain units can't usually handle my grades but these things pulled the hill just fine. Now where's the derailment re-enactment pics you took?

    Yeah, we had plenty of time Monday to run some trains as there were no real ones keeping us busy at work.

    As far as the layout I used to have a bunch of pics on Railimages but lost them when they switched servers and never got them put back on the new site. The photos were not that great and I have a better camera now and plan to put up some new pics just haven't had time. Thats really the first time the trains had run in over a year. I have just had too much stuff going on with a three year old daughter and my other hobbies of snowboarding and destruction derby something had to give. Hey cars get wrecked, snow melts, the layout will always be there. Twenty minutes with a brite boy and we were up and running. Did take me a few minutes to remember how to put together a DCC consist though.
