Alright, just got back from Colorado. Here's a few shots of the Light Rail:









Let's see you pics!

Hey Chris

The passenger train in the station looks like the old DRGW Ski train Do you know what it is?

I don't see any trains, but that babe in the dark shades looks "smokin'"

Richie

LOL, Richard. I'll just say Thank You. That's my wife...

I do believe you are correct Ben. I think it is the Ski Train which still runs. I guess it stays there when it is not running.

very nice chris. both the pics and your subjects. you're a lucky guy.



are you going to the bon jovi concert in central park? a little closer than soem of your other trips. lol.

No John. I can't deal with the whole day in Central Park for General Admission. LOL! It is going to be some week here in NY though. I am going to the Bon Jovi concert at the Garden on Monday. The All-Star game is Tuesday, which I'll watch on TV, and Friday which is my anniversary we are going to the Billy Joel "Last Play at Shea" concert with some good friends. I'm really psyched about it. Should be some event! Maybe not the Beatles, but still pretty cool.

very nice chris. enjoy the shows. i tried to get tix for billy but they sold out in a second. good thing though as i couldn't have gone anyway.

Well if you change your mind I have an extra set of Billy tix here.

Right now they are going for a fraction of what I paid. I don't really cre too much since I'm still getting to go!

Hey chris I think you have this set,k-line metronorth,I wanted to know why the engine has a socket on the back of it,what does it connect to?Do the coaches require this to light up??????????.I just aquired this set.

most likely it is for the tether to the b unit or another a unit. The other units have a motor but it is a clone unit, it wont run on its own. It takes commands from the first a unit, they will only run with the first a unit.

I do have it Sno, but not sure what the socket is for. Definitely not for the coaches - don't need it for that. Either as Stevin said, to tether to another A unit or a B unit or maybe to charge or connect to the Railsounds feature for upgrades??? It's a great set! I've always loved the coaches. Smooth rolling! Wish the subways could roll like these babies!!!

The connector is for connecting additional A or B units. K-Line produced these with all the same tooling as the rest of the F units. The Metro North and Very similar LIRR F units only came in single A units and did not have any B units or slave A units as the other F units did. The connector is there though if you ever find some additional units and want to repaint them
