I love the creative part of the hobby.

 

 

The original concept was for a miniature Mt. Fuji over the Shinkansen tracks

Yep. I'm very selective:

I've got it narrowed down to anything that rolls on rails,

I'm into it ! 

Narrow gauge has a charm, and you can get hooked on it in a big way ( like me ).

U.p. Big Boys

C+O Alleghenies 

N+W class A's

and Hawaiian plantation engines

I love it all !

Thank you for the kind words !

I remember we got to stay up in our PJ's when the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. Another memory from that time frame was laying in bed, and trying to go to sleep, and hearing the " Andy Griffith Show" theme song ( whistling). A random memory, to be sure ...

Look'in good Paul.

Topo Gigio was one of my favorite acts on the Ed Sullivan show - When he was on, I got to stay up later.

Phase 2 will be to connect the loop all the way around. I need the access right now for scenery.

Thanks for the great tip !

Now that I've gotten a solid start on the train room, it's time to heed the wife's advice:

" Why don't you get started on setting up the trains in the backyard, before it gets too hot".

you know the wife is always right !
