The weekend before Christmas found me in central Michigan for the final ‘North Pole Express’ excursions of the season. Follow the link above to my photos.
These trains of 900+ patrons per run were sold out months in advance; instead of highlighting the joyous families dressed in pajamas headed to the North Pole (Ashley, MI) - I chose to concentrate on simple compositions featuring the locomotive and the winter elements it’s subjected to.
Notice the difference a day and a small detail make. For Sunday the illuminated ‘1225’ number boards were added above the headlight.
There is a Tim Horton’s very close to Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso; they serve a really fine cup of hot cocoa…
Enjoy,
Matthew

WOW, the shear size of that beast (1225)! What a powerful testament to the force of steam...

Bob,
For me it’s a constant adjustment, going from a big mainline steam locomotive like #1225 to a 2-foot gauge Forney, and vice versa. But it’s a very nice problem to have!
