Chesapeake Bay in 9 Modules, all in 1:220 // NEW MODULE

Thank you Charlie and Guba,

The sun is breaking through the clouds again.......




and.....

I have been asked if we can show "close-ups" of the C&O GP7s, which we previously had shown in the "Blue Hour" at the pier.
Yes! Sure, we can! 














 Dirk points out, that these are fresh out of the box - thus, (!!) no custom weathering or tuning at that point in time  . 
 And the box says " AZL-6202 Chesapeake & Ohio GP7 "..........



Close enough, Timothy?





Just in case, you meant the B&O engines, here are some shots as well:

Some more Daylight ?

Usually these kind of trains do not stop at little depots such as Niles.
So if some of the pictures are not as sharp as they should be, it is because of the speed...................







But this time, it stopped for a few moments because of a slow freight train......







..., but only to rapidly take up speed again





If you were lucky, you could spot the fast moving train again when it crosses the bridge





in order to swiftly rush down the canyon towards the coast






"Happy Spotting"!

Best regards,

Sven

Yes, indeed, we spotted Märklin`s/AZL`s Daylight E9A, too!
Here is the proof;

 Rolf is best known for his UP Turbine Veranda`s.....




....., but barely seen in combination with AZL top products  , such as the Big Boy











or the UP Challenger......








WE THANK ROLF AND JENS (AZL in Switzerland, www.zettzeit.ch/shop/ ) FOR PROVIDING US WITH THE BEAUTIFUL LOCOS AND ROLLING STOCK !!!

....and for all of you who like it less dramatic.....






Ein gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest,

Dirk & Sven
