Fellsmere RR modeled by Nat Huggins

Master model builder Mr. Nat Huggins has created miniature versions of the Fellsmere RailRoad buildings from 100 years ago and unveiled them to Fellsmere historians and planners on May 14, 2014. The HO scale models will be donated to the City of Fellsmere for permanent display and will be replicated in full size at a new train village park in downtown Fellsmere. EXCITING!

Thanks for a superb glance at the past, Nat.

Guess he is practicing one month early.  Long train of IM with three Tiger Cool Express,  2 seaco short tanks,  3 Ashley's and lots of twenty footers.  MTG stopped  by after ECH passed him down the road and said Hi.

Great to see Jim back and waving from the cab with all the toots to my fusees.  ECH waving double white from the tread and throwing my kisses back.  All IM and double stacks,  but rather on the short side with no notables to account for.  Could find no 202 on atcs, so no meet.
