I hope to have a small travelling layout built before Thanksgiving so that I can bring it up to the St. Cloud, MN VA Hospital. All of you veterans have sacrificed more than I'll ever know and I hope by running some of my trains for the vets up in St. Cloud - I can say Thank You.

Thank you all.

One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.

Hi Wes, Thank you for remembering. I am a Navy Vet. and served during the Vietnam era. Was on the crew of the USS McCloy FF1038 in the Atlantic tracking unidentified subs. We had a few tense moments but nothing like the combat troops. I hope you are e-mailing those in the war zone. Did you know that there were about 1,000 Canadian citizens who came to this country (During Nam), joined our armed forces and fought in Nam ? You can sleep well tonight. Keep them in your prayers.

"MAKE A GREAT DAY" ! PapaDiesel
