DURANGO CONVENTION PHOTOS
ROAD TRIP! After working all spring and summer for that
matter on the roundhouse model the reward was taking it to the 2006 National Narrow
Guage Convention in Durango. I wish I could have fit the thing on my motorcycle but
the trunk of a car would have to do. I know you probably don't care to see my
vacation photos but this was a big part of the model's construction. It set a
certain deadline, a goal, and was an adventure in itself going back to roam the
land of the model's origin, ride the trains, and look at the remaining sections of
the Durango roundhouse to see if I did it right.
