Got my boarding pass for the Mugo Train. This is a Dwarf Mugo / Pumilio - it's one of the very first pieces of nursery stock that I bought at the end of last summer when I decided to try bonsai. I've done very little work to it so far. Removed a couple of small/minor branches, worked off a bit of the topsoil to see what I could find for a trunk and slip potted it. It's obviously got a twin trunk and I've pulled down/guy wired the smaller trunk/branch all the way down. I did this mostly to open up the middle to get more light in, but also to see if I might want to lose the 2nd trunk or if I could do something like cascade with it.
But I think the best potential is in the main trunk and some of the motion to the left in this picture. It's also survived the winter nicely and is really pushing new candles now.
