FEBRUARY 2006 Members Tour



FEBRUARY 12, 2006

     The SIEFERT's hosted the February meet for the TampaBay Division.
Michael & Jan's meet brought out over 40 members for a cool-chilly
day of train running. There were members from both TampaBay and Central
divisions who made the trek up to Ocala...and it was well worth the trip!
Blackacre Junction consists of four bachmann steam engines, all converted
over to battery power and sierra sound.  A Climax, A Shay, A Consolidation
and a former 10-wheeler now a 2-8-0 with a full Barry's conversion.
The three lines can be switched into one line totaling over 1200' of track
or into two lines with reverse loops.
