This blog is intended to document the progress of developing and operating my HO scale model of the Burlington Northern Railway, for the purposes of orienting new operators and for my own record of its design process. The layout is located in Seattle, WA and models the area from Tukwila in the south, Bellingham in the north and Skykomish in the east. The time frame of the model is approximately 1973, three years after the merger that created the BN from the GN, NP, SP&S and CB&Q.

a simple pick-up
The other day I discovered that one of my N scale railbox cars was derailing because one of its wheelsets was slightly out of gage. So I replaced it and the derailment stopped. So I put the boxcar back on the layout, by itself, on the siding in the mill town. This meant it was out of the train it had been in. So this called for an operation - pick up the repaired car. Photos below show the operation step by step.
