Snow train on Winnegance and Quebec


Sunday was the final official run of the season here on the Winnegance and Quebec Railway. A light but sticky snowfall was very pretty and the cold wet air made the steam superior.
Here the engine crew is going over number 24 as she builds up steam while the yard guys shovel out the switches.

Eric, Nice picture and a great description. The crew looks real as they work hard after the heavy snow.

Some day if you ever get bored and want to blog about something, would you explain how a live steam model engine works? How do you control it and how long can it run? Do you have manual control or radio control? Does it have a steam whistle? Dose it use any track power (headlight)? Those kind of questions are all things I do not know about live steam and am curious about. Thank you.

Eric,

Is that the Roundhouse live steamer? It looks very similar to the one I purchased a few years ago. I've done a bit of bashing to make mine more prototypical, but I'm a long way from done...
