Awesome!!! I really like that last photo!!!! An Intermodal Yard with a lighted Mi-Jack!!!! Looks like lots of container traffic!!! Yes I am partial to this photo as the Mi-Jack is one of my creations, but damn it looks good. This is the first time I've seen one in operation since Jurg posted photos of his small Intermodal box setup. Again, awesome!!!! Hobo Tim
I'm in the process of putting a barbed wire fence around the intermodal yard. Look at the picture of the two blue GP-35s and you can see the rusty fence on the right - with the gate open. Figuring placement of the container stacks too. The aged concrete has been painted and even the seams in the concrete are there. I plan on having some weeds growing in some of those cracks and some ivy on the fence - to cover up my botched joining of the fence in some places. The (your) Mi-Jack is the center piece of the layout. I will post more pictures soon.
It was a pleasure to see the "famous" challenger and see and hear the upgraded features on it. And I laughed at the Sounder going on it's usual backwards route. Tim, that Mi-Jack looks great and has a placement on the layout that will get a lot of attention. Lajos and Bill got Torsja's mini-case layout working while I was there. Darn is that a small layout. It was really nice to speak to these guys and be able to ask some questions - thanks guys, James
