Thanks for your time: Wally, Russ, Mike, Dave, Caleb, Bretz, Gay, and Ashley. See you there We have something new to see this week. Our New MTH DCS T-1 Steamer. We got all of the trackwork run for our Post War, Old School, Conventional Layout. This may be the type you have now, or can remember when you were a kid in the 40's-70's. It's made of Lionel Tubular Track 0-31. The Switches are all style # 022. It's going to be a treat when it's finished with a couple of conventional trains running and some old style accessories. I just posted a video of our first run on it up on YouTube. Check it out. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug_y505Cots PS: We have some new construction going on. New framework, track work, and scenery. We are extending the mainlines on the Ashland side so there will be more to see for the public on that side. And it will also give us more room for passing and parking trains. There will also be a new colliery in the Ashland area, a new tunnel too. It's not finished yet, but you will get to see how it's done, maybe get some ideas for your layout. We are always available to talk all things model trains.
