Livin’Large, fall outdoor meets in Tx/Ok
Author: WrongWayMurphy

We had four meets in the past month, I skipped the second one in Kansas City,
then missed most days at the meet east of Dallas due to my Dads funeral/memorial service,
then cut short the meet this past weekend due to back issues.

Here is the LOCO track just east of Oklahoma City :

Entrance
Rock Island inspired geep
The lovely Mrs. Murphy and me on my doodlebug.

T&P switch crew passes the MOP road switcher

2-8-0 passenger train ran all day

Me and my ten-wheeler.  This lokie was recently acquired from Trainorders.com
member Tom STP and received a new boiler.  This was the first firing since the
boiler was replaced, and everything worked great.

This past weekend we all met at a track about 2 hours southwest of Fort Worth.

Here we have a pair of ATSF locomotives meeting at the halfway point.

Sweet control stand from the RS3.

Big center cab locomotive with passengers passes a big oak.

Lots of Santa Fe at this track.

Guts of the blue/yellow diesel

Santa Fe 4-4-0

There was a lot more I could've should've photographed but didn't.

Outdoor trains are great, but the people are the best part of this hobby.

All very nice shots of various engines.  Can't imagine the hours involved in construction and details.  Just wishin' I was closer to see them.  As a Rock Island fan forever, I like the RI 4406 GP-7.  I bet it will soon receive the finalization with lettering and such.  Happy rollin' to you all!
