The Turtle trip was'nt in 2006. I think the Turtle trip was before all that stuff was moved North. I saw the cars being pulled past the quarry. There was a F unit in the mix. It must have been a weekend move or I would not have been there.

As usual, Gary Matthews does an unbelievable job under difficult conditions.

I have rebuilt a quite a few old auto engines. I have never seen timing gears as bad as the ones in your picture. BUT -- I hope you will probably be able to find another non running engine. With luck you can use a lot of parts off it and make one good one out of two. This is the way I had to did it ...

Why are you pulling the liners? Jim.

JRW. Speaking of G tower, I found this in the attic last year. Mark found it in the bushes. Jim.

Ken & GG1. Thanks for posting pictures of the Thomas event. I'm working it. I'll save your pix, they're great.

Donko. I live right near there. My son was an expert on that area. He even talked to all the old timers in the area to gather info. and stories about the Bel-Del and L&HR.

John is still around and very active with RR stuff. I don't know if he still makes those films. He is a fine and well respected man.

There's something about the posts in this thread that doesn't add up. Everyone seems to be claiming that the video proves that the conductor was acting professionally, doing his job correctly, and so on. But then, these same posters are saying that the video is a form of "character assassinati...

NJT, that's great. I'm glad you asked You Tube to remove it.

How low can people go? This guy did his job in a civil manner. The jerk that posted that video had the nerve to title it a--hole conductor. We all saw the conductor's face. They have no right to film him and then post it to millions of people and give him that title. I guess that's OK in our present...

It's a fake. Listen to those Lionel wheels on the tinny track. The air powered whistle is -- No harm intended towards anyone, only my opinion.

I Just can't wait for this to happen @ Potter, Inman in Edison, and for that matter Tingley Lane as well. Because I was out railfanning @ Tingley and sure enough, gatecrashers are there too!!! I can't wait until the second track gets up and running and all the gatecrashers will think it's business ...
