It’s update time at What’s New on the Winter Valley. I’ve been alone for some weeks now and this life of celibacy may go on for some time if that job pans out overseas. In the meantime, work hours seem longer than they should. My little sister is in town though (long time – no see) and so is a foreign RS3 we had around to help with moving grain. It never did. And a pair of F7’s were heading up a mixed freight the sight of which would take some of our staff back to the 50’s and the start of their career on the railway. Might be fun chasing that number on the weekend and put Switzerland out of my mind for a while. Drop by when you can. Dave at Winter Valley Regional Railroad - Welcome!
I can track down most of those details on the F7 but did you scratch build the winterization hatches? I've heard Miniatures by Eric did G-Scale Details but can't find any information on it. And great photographs as always~
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the trip. The winterization hatch was made out of thin sheets of aluminum used in the printing process. I got a stack from a friend in the business. I used MbyE hatches for my GP9's but never did find any for cab units. All gone into someones goody box I expect because I never saw any of them actually used. Dave
