DNRR Gains new right-of-way
Posted by dwbeckett on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 7:29 AM

After spending a long long time in negotiating for outside land use I received a land grant  large enought for a two track loop with a two track run to the outher side of the house . Track plan will remain simpel till I start building. picture's to follow soon.

Dave:

Eagerly waiting for the pics.  I know how hard it can be to negotiate those pesky land grants.  Congrats on the succesful negotiation.

So much for the new right-of way, DUE TO RECENT ILLNESS ON MY PART,  we put the RENO house on the market as of this comming fridayBanged Head [banghead] Now I have to disassemble the On30 indoor and pack up the LS, that S**KS, I'm not a happy camper. the Oakley House has no room at the moment for any kind of LS except for a small  loop(VERY Small). not even as big as what I gave up last winter.

It`s nice to know that the senior management are smiling, I went to a meeting a few weeks ago my good lady went shooping so when I rang and said I`ve bought a loco the answer was fine if you like it go ahead. So when you want some thing let your other half enjoy spending some of your monyWink [;)]

Or have that new train deliver her a new set of diamond jewelry, that makes it "Her engine"!   I can get lots of stuff that way because then she needs cars to put behind her engine.

 Toad, since we are already taking it in the shorts for 20% so I don' think giving away 10% more would be a good moveSad [:(] .. I'm looking around the yard for space  I can get after the growing season end's.

Well Pops, you can even it out to be a odd number of 30% Evil [}:)] What I hear odd is better than even numbers........
