On June 22nd John Barter and I took a trip with our trains to Williams,AZ to see our friend Robbie Deihl. Robbie's been working hard on his new railroad in Williams and already has a lot of track on the ground. He also has signal systems set up throughout most of the layout which he can control with his computer or have it run automatically. It setup as a loop on one end with a passing siding in the middle and a wye at the other. During our morning running we had to pause and watch the Grand Canyon Steam train go by which is just on the other side of the street from the property.Great railroad and had a great time.

Erin,
Do my eyes deceive me or is that "WICKS" white refer car that belongs to John the one that I built for the S.F. Allen 10 wheeler?

How hard is it to load up and transport a train like you guys did when you went to go see Robbie? To me it sounds like alot of work. I'm sure once its all there and set up it's a blast! Just curious...
