    I would like to see a rematch of the 1985 World Series (of course with a different outcome).

    Maybe just a different umpiring crew. I am sure Don Denkinger has retired by now.

    Here's the daily local train #54 traveling north. This is at mile marker 123.5 just south of Vista.

    Scenes from Clinton.

    You can see the roof of the MKT depot behind the boxcars in the first pic. This is Center St. in Clinton.

    Thanks guys. The sky is prototypical. :) It was made from hi res photos I took in SW Missouri. I'm keepin' it real.

    I just picked up a new GP38-2 from the guys at RRmods. Hopefully I'll get some good shots of it soon. Also Dave Snow has created a nice Fairbanks Morse H12-44 available for reskinning / painting. I think I'll have a hack at it.

    Here's an old photo I found at a sale around Collins, Mo. I'm pretty sure this is Bolivar looking south...

    Here's a video of the scene above. I had a new scanner on scene then. :p

    Wow! Train watching from the back porch. That tractor and water pump are really nice touches. I also like how the train has a distant look to it. Kinda hazy so to speak. Great job!

    I am starting to like this V scale stuff too. Really nice work. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this together.

    Thank you gentleman. I really appreciate the nice comments. Here's another short clip on further up the MKT line from the SLSF crossing. Less fog but the same sky.

    As always I'm very impressed. Very unique views and angles and the sound is nice.

    Nice touch to film from the RS-1 cab! It is great fun to be able to show a "diesel-driver's" view of steam, isn't it?
    (Ben's work never looked better!)
