Well the whole NILTC club was very pleased ( and a few members surprised) to receive a visit by John Gerlach at our Thomas show today. He stayed for only a few hours but it was a real blast! The highlights included: a. Joint NILTC/GMLTC 8-wide freight train 16 feet long ! b. John's rebuilt challenger making the entire 20'x25' layout circuit without any help from the old 0-5-0 switcher. c. Seeing John's challenger and my Frisco 1630 (the prototype actually operating at the museum during our show) posing on a bridge together. Pictures are coming soon at www.NILTC.org but this scene actually felt like heavy steam. - BMW, NILTC

(...) After only wiping out a few of the track-side structures on the layout.... Gotta love that 8-wide overhang! The Challenger still needs some fine-tuning, this was its "world premier", since I had never actully run it powered. "Thanks" to all (...)

(...) Gosh, I'm tired. I meant this last parenthetical to mean ... "this was a problem, since they were being so disruptive." -Tim (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)
