Hi Tom
We had about a foot of snow last week up here in Cambridge - I love the look of the rolling stock in the woods with the snow . very cool empire in the works.

Here is what Russ missed by being in Florida instead of Michigan.  About 8 inches of snow!

Tom, I think there is an excellent chance that I will survive the vacation.  My friend loves his yacht and loves his technology.  Two massive diesel engines, largest 6 cylinder engines that Commins makes; 635 horsepower each; 35 mph top speed .. something to behold.  It has:

Radar
Sonar
Wifi hot spot right on the yacht
Real Time weather maps
Video monitoring throughout (e.g. of engine room, etc.)
Sattellite TV, radio and telephone
Autopilot
Hydraulic cranes for a scooter up front and a 4 person 60 hp dinghy out back
25 foot Fishing boat with 200 hp outboard

... and everything is well integrated  .. fascinating

Jim came down after Xmas and got some seat time in #7.  Here he is peaking out the side.

Very nice picture, Tom.  I similarly produced a calendar for our live steam club recently.  Staples allows one to produce it easily online and I took advantage of a half price sale.

Our friend Bruce has been producing a calendar for the Sandy Ridge for the last couple of years.  He got Jack to pose the engines and take a few snaps.  One month will have this on it..

Actually it was a cherry picker truck used to cut some trees down before they fell on the roundhouse roof.
