Moody Christmas Train

[Bob Moody]

Well... Sandra and I took the plunge into a yard train. Simple oval .. 4 corners, 48' on the long straight and 32' on the shorter straight.

Started in January and this is where we are with it now ..

Beautiful job so far Bob! So when are you going into the train manufacturing business?

You certainly wouldn't have any trouble finding buyers from the looks of your work! I have wanted to build one but upstate NY is not a great place to try and run a train around when you get 2 feet of snow!

Question for you. What kind of paint are you using on the train? Looks like a beautiful shine on it.
