Great job Cindy Luanne Dodd!

Is it too late to cancel Monday and check into this miniature paradise instead? 🏖️🍹

Huge shoutout to Cindy Luanne Dodd for this insanely creative 4-foot beach modular! From the sunbathers lounging by the pool to the retro cars in the lot—she even fully furnished the inside of the hotel. The level of detail is just unreal.

We suddenly all want to go on vacation... seriously, save us from Monday! Does anyone in the NMRA have a working shrink ray we can borrow for a quick visit? 🔬🌴 Incredible work, Cindy!

We'd like to thank everyone who came out for our module work session yesterday.

Your hard work in helping to fix some lingering issues and doing some much needed upgrades to the track and electrical connections truly helped.

Here's to the next one!

Who at NGM will model this combination?

Always full of peculiarities, Southern steam, especially in the later years, became a hodge-podge of modifications and deviations from the standard designs they were built as. Pictured here in 1952, Southern 6687, an Alco-Richmond built Ps-4 from the first generation batch of 1923, sports a 14,000 gallon tank from one of it's 1926-built sisters. An easy defining feature for the earlier locomotives is the Worthington BL-type feedwater heater just ahead of the air compressor rather than the smaller Elesco pump that would be in its place, along with the corresponding Elesco heater unit atop the smokebox. Also noticeable here, throughout their careers, most of the Southern locomotives built with Baker valve gear had that retrofitted with Walschaert valve gear.

The 6687 was built for service on the Alabama Great Southern subsidiary of the Southern, but by this date, like many others, had migrated across the system. David Driscoll, per usual, captured this image in his hometown of Reidsville, NC, on the Danville Division, a long way from this engine's original home along the Chattanooga-Birmingham-Meridian corridor of the AGS.

And a very special thanks to Norfolk Southern for hosting us as they have in previous years.
