Tianshan, Fred & Carol Tomlinson Open House
Schedule
Aston Hall
Railway (AHRY) Open House
With 350
feet of “double –bone design” immaculately maintained garden railway, the
Tomlinson’s garden had undergone many improvements for their SoCal GRS
Open House in 2009 and now
a recent summer
project has enhanced the rail bed and ballasting . Yes, stationmaster Tianshan’s “Chessie Express” continues
to haul liquid cargo from The Aston Hall Station to the Cripple Creek Depot to
wet the whistles of the miners and patrons of The Red Cat Saloon. Meanwhile,
here are some changes for all to see:
·
The
garage door has been painted to resemble the top of a yellow “Chessie System”
caboose.
·
Beneath
the roof, in the Train Crew Lounge, are displayed U.S. and U.K. railway steam
era treasures. Included is an antique 1905 potbelly Estate Caboose stove, a very
large 1898 U.K. Chessie Lines cast iron bridge NOTICE plaque. The three BR
antique stationmaster oil lanterns and a Adlake caboose marker oil lamp also
enhance the display.
·
Featured
are fourteen different desert and mountain structures with building lights.
Included is the “High Noon at the Red Cat Saloon”, Monument Valley, and the
“Winchester Rifle
Raid at
Apache Bluff!”
All
SoCalGRS families and friends are welcome!
