I had a splendid day out with my military G-scale trains in the snow today. The weather conditions were challenging with low temperatures, snow and ice causing slippery tracks and less than perfect running conditions. It was a bumpy ride.
- Probably just like the real thing. I think this was most likely this year's last running session:

Military G-scale trains fighting ice and snow
As this was probably the last running session of 2023, I would like to thanks my fellow MRC-members, who are all into different kind of prototypes and scales, but shares the most important; a common enthusiasm for railway modelling and in most cases the 'track gauge' too. I'm proud to be a part of this community and appreciate all their enthusiasm, courage and help. And a special thanks to the ones that hosts the very most of our running sessions; Astrid and Heine for your hospitality, great time and letting us run trains in your beautiful garden.
Heine usually posts a lot of pictures from the running sessions in his garden and post them on his model railway Facebook group. I recommend you to visit it and have a look.

Very realistic!
ReplyDeleteRealistic to the degree that warm clothes and hot beverages was a must.
DeleteSounds a perfect day!

Thanks! It really was. It's nice to run trains in the snow, but at the same time I'm looking forward to warmer and sunnier days, where you don't need to wear every warm clothing to have.
