I made a small fleet of locomotives for my HO scale Robertville Central Railroad that I call the Junction Valley heritage fleet. I used locomotives that closely resembled Junction Valley's locomotives (one sort of exception being the one I used to resemble #1177, I used a GP40 for that one because it was the closest thing I could come to), the only one I didn't do was their No.4 switcher, instead I've done a fictional Junction Valley 2-6-0 steam locomotive that I numbered #8216 (82 being the year Junction Valley opened to the public and 16 being the year they closed down), I did that one because I always wanted to see what a Junction Valley steam locomotive would've looked like, I've even done a few pieces of rolling stock too. I'll be doing a video on that one of these days
I passed by there so many times, but never took the time to stop before they closed to the public. From this and other videos I've seen, I truly missed out on a great experience. :(
Thanks for posting. Great memories for me and my kids in both the summer trips but for sure the Halloween season which we never missed. I tell people all the time that you can’t understand all the craftsmanship to build the train cars, the track , the bridges and the scenery. You have helped me now show them. Any Halloween footage?
Thank you for your kind words and watching the video! I do have Halloween footage coming up. There’s two videos of that. One is a dress rehearsal for the spook train which is in daylight and the other is our last ride on the last day of the spook train that was taken at night. Hopefully the nighttime footage comes out fine. Those videos will be out on may 11 and may 15. -Stephen
