Hey Ya'll I wi***hat we got snow here. I would love to recreate that first expeirience I had with Live Steam. I was on holiday (excuse the british sayings, I'm in the british mood today) in Denver Colorado and we were visiting my Dad's friends house. It was freezing and we had to stay at his house for the next two days (My mom was nervous and wouldn't lat us leave, I like driving down mountains in snow. My mom dosen't). I had an old Garden Railways and Reading Vance Basses article on kitbashing a Roundhouse Lady Anne into a Consolodation. He leaned over my shoulder to see what I was reading. He said a few things about trains (nothing about Garden Railroads) and left for the Backyard. My parents knew that he loved trains and garden railroading and new I did too. They brought me here to surprise me, but in the exitment of snow, the forgot. He returned and asked If I would like a tour of the yard. We went out into a magnificent backyard with a lovey blanket f snow and a backdrop of the Rocky Moutains and Low and Behold, there was the Garden Railroad of my dreams. It was mesured 30X30 and was bustling with 4 live steam locomtoives. There was an Asetr C&S 2-6-0 with a passenger train climbing up the grade, a Rounhouse coal fired sandy river 2-6-2 with a mixed train, an Accucraft Ruby #1 converted to a Forney waiting to depart with a freight train, and a lovely Accucraft RGS 2-8-0 C16. It was heaven. i recall that he had 10 electric models (4 Bachmanns, 3 LGBs, and 3 Hartlands). He handed me another modified Ruby #1 and taught me what was what, and he let me control the line while he watched from the living room window with his wife and my parents. While he was there, the Aster headed straight for the Forney. He saw what was happenong form the window, but he let me handle it. There was no time to stop the trains, so I set the switch quicly, and just as the coaches of the Aster clearde, the switch snapped back and averted a terrible accident. I've got to go. bye I'll post more of the story afetr school. Nick
