WC Shotz

[WCL]

Today we went out to do some RR fanning....Shure it was cold and crappy and rainy in real life for RR fanning...So I took a spin to do some RR fanning on here

Our first shot of the day we catch the local up to Wausau seen here ducking under HWY 29


We then caught him racing past the Wausau depot


Our next shot we catch him passing a house fire off of 3rd St


Our last shot of the day we catch him crossing Jimma Creek right near the house I used to live in when I did live in Wausau....(I shure do miss it their :'( )


Thats all she wrote.....Till next time :wave:

PS....Ya they are not WC shots...BUT it was all on the WC route....

On my trip...

I managed to catch this shot of a Wisconsin Central SD40-2 leading a CN/IC train at Tuscola Illinois.
A Union Pacific auto Train is crossing in front.

Caught the WC train that runs from Wausau to Prentice...Here we see him coupling back to his train, after setting out a few tank cars of Kaolin for the mill here at Brokaw

 

[bryinmich]

Nice shot there WCL! That's some really old track at the mill.

 

[WCL]

Yeah it is pretty rough on that spur track

The track on the left is where the cars are sitting and the track on the right is the mainline

 

[bryinmich]

Yah you sure are right about that That track needs some TLC!

 

[illinoiscentral]

WCL,
If you don't mind me asking...where do you get your motive power?

Mr. WCL Sir, can you recommend any Wisconsin layouts from the DLS please, or, do you know of any on 3rd party websites I could download please....I'm only using TRS2006 SP1 not TS2009.....

Thank you.

The ones I made prolly wont be on the DLS........Hope this helps

[ex-railwayman]

Hmmm, it looks a bit small, I like long-ish layouts similar to others that Chris has created, but, as he was the builder then it'll be a definate download. Pity that the WCL is so under-represented on the DLS for routes, but, plenty of locos and rolling stock widely available for any layouts that may make a future appearance.

Thanking you.....
