Early morning in Bobston in #4
waits the start of a new day. The logging crew is first out leaving the
yard free for the local crew to switch out. The coal pocket in the
background was scratch built from plans in the Model Railroader Magazine
for the tower at Chama,
Colorado.

The
Sunday Special leaves Harrieta at the other end of the line heading west
toward Bobston. The normal passenger consist is
normally a drover's caboose at the end of a freight drag. That switch stand
ahead of the engine is the control for the electrical switch.

Switching the Industrial Spur at A-Track. This engine
might be a bit of over-kill but there are times when ten or twelve cars
do have to be moved around. The factory is a kitbash
super-detailed with a water tower, billboards and other goodies.

The daily
peddler leaves Harrieta at the other end of the
line heading West toward Bobston. Most switchers on the North
river are without lead and trailing trucks. This improves reliability for
switching.

Railroad Crossing looking North through Downtown
Bobston. Again, most of the buildings are stock Woodland
Scenic buildings. The scenery is a modified Hydrocal hard-shell using
sawdust and vermiculite for texture.
