Model Railroading > Preserving the SP in HO scale: Fan Trips

Inspired by TO member TTM's posting:

http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,3506710

Today they ran a four car Fan trip over the hill with
long hood forwards Baldwin AS616 #5203 as back up helper
and veteren Ten Wheeler #690 as road engine in charge of the train.

Views one & two:
The Special eastbound charging up
the grade on main #2. Just up ahead
the train stopped to remove the 5203
from the point.

View three:
shortly after the 690 does a photo run by
at the water tank doing a blurry at 45MPH!

views four & five:
After running through the X-overs
and one reverse move granted by the DS,
the 5203 is seen tucked away on the
house track lead as the extra 690 east
gets under way solo after a brief station
stop at Summit.

Another great one, Gary.

Nice!

Nice. But, why would there be an RPO car on a fan trip. Should be a bag.

No argument here:
Actually the RPO was the most popular car on the Special.
Unfortunately it was all 6 doors closed while they were
on the move for the usual safety reasons.
