Project RGS 41

 

 

To start things off we have pictures of the soon to be RGS gondola on display at the Monterey and
Salinas Valley
model rail road club March 8 2003.


If only the clubs HO couplers fit so well.

Another view of the just completed pilot.
 

 

 

Finally we have some pictures of the Narrow Guage equipment at the Train Mountain Triennial
June 2003.
