I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading.
I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest RR club on campus across the country, perhaps the oldest RR club in the US. At one time they had several private railroad passenger cars to assist them in getting where they need to go, but they now depend on vehicles such as the LX.
Most may wonder, "WHAT THE HECK IS FREEMO?" It's a concept of modular model railroading that uses a few simple standards to build small, easily transportable modules that can be combined in ever changing large combinations. At Cornfield an old high school gym is used and filled up with model trains.
The pic above was taken early Saturday morning thus the lack of a crowd. Here's a link to an album of pics that better illustrate everything going on: Cornfield X Pics, April 2024
This is a video of one of my freights:
