it's been a while since i had anything of interest to say on this forum even though i have been lurking.
Model railroading has also taken a back seat for a while as i have been traveling quite a bit. One of my travels took me to
Sandaoling in NW China where steam locomotives are on active duty hauling coal from an open cast pit mine ....
read more about it on my blog - http://vikaschander.com/trip-reports/sandaoling-2/
as well as a photo gallery - http://vikaschander.com/photo-gallery/sandaoling/
