Doug is an seasoned international
traveler who brought a flair for overseas models to our club. He
returned the favor to his friends in the Freiamter
Eisenbahn Amateur Club; Wohlen,
Switzerland in October, 2002 when he presented them with models of
Pacific & Eastern rolling stock. Posing with Doug (click on
the picture) is his host, Heinz Burri. |

Doug presents a P&E SD-40-2 is
FEAC Club President Urs Kappeli. Doug Howard graciously wrote a report of his travels for the club, which may be viewed here. |

On
Sunday public run days, the Club allows all manners of power and
rolling stock to be run on the Pacific & Eastern. Doug
availed himself to this opportunity by breaking out some of his
international trains and taking them on a tour of the modular
layout. He has an interesting habit of giving his locomotives
exotic European names. Here we see Victoria speeding past a small
lake on Bruce McGarvey's scenic modules. |

Simone, a classy French TGV,
overtakes a lowly freight on Dave Spakousky's Butte Falls
modules. Before long, club members started referring to Doug's locomotives as his "harem". |

Another of Doug's girls flies through White City, a club module which features Brad Fawcett's chemical plant in the background. |

"The Harem Master" with another of his girls. Doug moved to Indiana a few years back and we sure miss his his eclectic fleet of equipment on Sunday public run days. |
