Six months after the collapse of shelving, the JJJ&E is alive and well

What? Where was I. Glad to hear that you're layout is up and running again Bob.

Red Rock Country is generally considered to include the Monument Valley and environs in the 4-corners area, as well as the more populated (and touristy) area around Sedona, AZ http://www.sedonawebcam.com/. Visually stunning, lots to do, and GREAT food! To top it off, the Verde Canyon Railroad is nearby! http://www.verdecanyonrr.com/

Then there's Uluru down in Oz...

Bob, glad to hear things are back in order. So Bob, was there some good to come out of this. Did this motivate you on the 4th addtition?

 

Dave:

Actually I started on the fourth addition to the JJJ&E last November. Pete Nolan saw the beginning stages when he visited last February.

Alan(Wiking) saw the JJJ&E when he came by for a visit last April.

So the addition was well underway when I was suddenly detoured for awhile.

Stay cool and run steam....

 

Bob,

I am glad that you are back to working on the addition. Spending the day with you was a memory I still think about. This December I am riding on the lounge car that appears in cameo in the film Flag of our Fathers. You can read and see pictures at www.overlandtrail.com

Alan:


You can see some photo's of the addition on my TB Train Blog or in Album # 13 in Rail Images. I've positioned many lasercut buildings on the addition as well as some retaining walls.

Perhaps we'll do it again some time. We have a rained out ball game to make up.

Have fun on the lounge car.

Stay cool and run steam....

 

:thumbs_up: I have to say it's good to see a comeback from this near disaster. I know it was disheartening when it happened, I'm just glad you decided to continue and not throw in the towel. Being that I grew up in the red rock country of northern Arizona I can relate to the lasting impressions it leaves in ones mind. The red sandstone is an interesting geological feature that clearly indicates a southwest location.

There are no images of this collapse to be seen. It sure would be nice if we could actualy see what happened. Pics please !
