Black Smoke881 viewsI was actually surprised they let us stand as close as we did. We were perhaps 8' back from the tracks when I took these pictures. It was quite loud when they blew the whistle and then blew off steam!

Big Raincoat881 viewsThe raincoats at this exhibit were a bit big. We rolled up the sleeves, but as he squats here to pull the rope (which dumped a bucket of water), you can see how huge it is on him.

Here it comes...881 viewsWe then drove south of town a bit to try to take a picture of the train from a bridge. We barely made it... I was running while snapping this pic...

Entertainment Room880 viewsElvis wanted a room where he could watch all three networks at once. I wonder what he'd do today -- have a room with 200 TV's so he could watch all the cable networks at once too?

Work on Main Railing880 viewsNext work began on the angled railing. First, the bottom newel post was cut to length and installed with lag screws into the framing of the stairway. Next, a new oak board was ripped to proper width, and mitered to fit over the top of the stairway framing. Finally, the bottom shoe rail was installed on top of this board.

Moo and Bailey876 viewsFor a long time, Moo was very suspicious of Bailey, our Golden Retriever. She'd rather keep to herself (other than being with us). But she did manage to share the loveseat with Bailey in the two pictures above, taken in our old home. As time went on, they started tolerating each other better.

874 viewsInstalling the upper railing proved to be tricky. Getting the length and miter cuts just right required a lot of careful measuring. We practiced with a 2x4 stud and thought we had the technique down. However, we messed up, cutting one of the miters the wrong direction. Since this rail is $6.60/linear foot, we thought this was going to be an expensive mistake. Fortunately, Home Depot gave us credit for the remaining length, so we were only out one foot, and did it correctly with the replacement rail.
