Yeah, it's HO; at least *someone* remembers the CCC&StL.

Your regularly scheduled murky motive power posting will resume this weekend.

One of the greatest machines for snow, ever! It can clear drifts taller than it is and throw it 100's of feet!
I cleared a huge hurdle yesterday, that's been weighing on me for several months. Still didn't sleep well, but almost felt like working on model trains last night, for the first time in quite a while.😮💨
Still have another one coming up at the end of the month.😖
I hope it goes as well as yesterday...
Good grief! Estimated tolls on the I-69 bridge over the Ohio River seem a bit steep: $3.14 for cars; $18.62 for heavy trucks. (And didn't we stop making pennies?)
We're not New York, over here.🤦

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration had urged the Supreme Court not to hear Thaler's appeal.

How about you park that Sears car in front of your Sears house, with your Sears train set, inside!

Bananas.
Literally and figuratively.
My grandpa told me a story yesterday about how the Perry crew used to intentionally take this Whitcomb because it had overheating problems, so by the time they made it to Perry it would be overheated and they would get an extra hour to have a coffee and play some checkers while it cooled down
New 'Ride the D' Metro shirts sold out almost immediately. Because of course they did
"The 'Terminal' was an interesting operation that from overhead looked just like a giant model railroad. It made a complete oval. You could actually start from point A and head west and return to point A coming back in from the east."

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad was just out there ensuring that non-prototypical, toy train, loops popped up everywhere.

"When I was a boy the trains ran right past my house, and they carried with them that promise that somewhere down the track anything would be possible."

Standing proudly since 1849, the Willard Carpenter House is one of Evansville’s most fascinating historic houses. Built for philanthropist and abolitionist Willard Carpenter, the home has been connected to local stories of courage and compassion.

Yeah. That looks like a slot car version, except for that trolley bus.
I can't find the (finished) one I was looking for, here's a development version.

Faller's Car System is crazy!
There's a guy on YouTube that adapted it to run a functional ferry, hauling a bus from one area to another, and back. I'll see if I can find it, again....
I was thinking I should look that up, again.
It's probably been 15 years.
