A couple o...Operational interest for sure, John. <br /><br />A couple of thoughts: <br /><br />For more operational interest, have a section gang and equipment standing by to install a turnout/shoofly into the Turney museum site upon arrival. This was often done to move long-stuffed-and-mounted steam engines for restoration. \<br /><br />Then there's always road cranes positioned for the move from the mainline. <br /><br />Other museums like CRHA in Delson had a storage track for equipment to be moved into the main site, (perhaps Turney could have some more off-layout display trackage) or a wooden ramp with transition track so lighter equipment brought in on flat cars could be unloaded down guide rails onto the museum trackage.<br /><br />Either way, long live the hospital train! Be sure to check out John Sutherland's great photos of some of the Service equipment in my third Trackside Treasure post on the train.<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
