I went on the trolley charter in Scranton on Saturday and had a great time! Rob Davis/the Garden State Central Model RR Club had car 76 at their command and used it in a number of runbys and photo stops. We went all the way to Yankee stadium where we toured the restoration shop. My photos are online here:

Here are some of the highlights:

Well I see that the trucks havent been repaired since we got ours back from car 80. Interesting- - - Nice shots Mike.

What did they say about the trucks? Just curious.

Thanks for posting the pics, Mike! Glad you had fun. I definitely see other charters in the future...

#80's trucks are in the shop and look GREAT. Not too much longer. I ran that car in Philly, but never liked it that much. Too much like a bus. Loved #76 and #46.

The new shop is a great facility.
