The Danville County Railroad Train Layout

  The Danville County Railroad has a new locomotive on it's locomotive roster and it is Alco S3 #6. It has been painted into the Alexander Railroad Paint Scheme with it's green & yellow colors. It has also been maintained and ready to go for operation as it sits on the mainline track ready for a crew to pick it up. The side of the locomotive looks excellent where you can the the number 6 under the window on the locomotive cab, as well as the start of the yellow stripe which goes all the way across the engine on both sides. This engine can switch out any car it wants to on the DVCRR, so it's easy to see why it will be very common on these trains coming up.

  This article is all about having good backdrops for a layout. The photo above is of local C55 with 2-6-0 #50 by the roundhouse on a sunny day. Good weather is a very important thing when it comes to backdrops. Snow is also a good choice as well. This is something that will be more common on DVCRR Layout soon. Also in a backdrop like this one, the blue sky really stands out.

Engineer Willie is trying out the newest piece of equipment on the Danville County Railroad Layout, The Motor Car! It has a headlight on both sides as well as a Grab-N-Hook Bar & a lever to go forward and reverse. Now he's trying it out and it's working. Willie: Hey Mark it's working. Mark: The Motor Car? Willie: Yeah! Mark: Well that's great. Willie: I want to get it running as soon as possible Mark: For sure, i really like it. Willie: Hey we can give rides to visitors, don't you think? Mark: That's a great idea. Willie: I guess it was a good build after all Mark: Heck Yeah It was a good build for the DVCRR. And since it's new it will garner a lot of attention.
