Hello there,
This week I didn't have the opportunity to do a lot of train-related activities. But, I did open up the Burlington E8 motive unit and moved the wire the was rubbing against the rotating motor component. I tested it for several minutes, and the rubbing sound appears to have gone away!
So, since I don't have much additional news on my own railroading endeavors, here is a quick write up and view of the Livingston Model Railroad Club in Livingston, MT.
We visited a train swap meet at the restored Livingston Northern Pacific depot in April, 2012. The depot itself is worth checking out if you're in town - it is a marvelous structure and the town has done a great job maintaining it. Next to the depot is the original NP baggage building, and the local model railroad club houses their layouts there. They have an expansive, winding HO layout, and a nice, long O layout too. The O gauge layout was made by a modeler who has since passed away, but in this location, hundreds of people have been able to see his handiwork. The operating layout is very well scenic'd, and hosts local-to-Montana trains, both modern and historic. The pics below are from our 2012 visit, and you can learn more about the Livingston Model Railroad Club here: http://www.livingstonmuseums.org/depot/Modelers.html.
