more picture posts: abandoned outdoor expansion
Posted by enginear on Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:27 PM

 

The large scale train was supposed to climb a long grade around cellar and go to out side. When I built the new addition I saved the dirt for the railroad. Neighbor's fence at property line.

it would then cross a removable bridge to a elevated section of earth

and run a crossover dogbone of some sort about 80' long with some stream feature

someday that would have even expanded with yards and sidings and run across the back of property, looks like its not going to happen. That's life!

Sorry, I keep crying the blues so I forgot which forum I posted. I lost my job and I'm in arbitration trying to win it back. Thanks for asking. Joe

That sucks...Priorities first, mortgage is more important than trains, good luck with the arbitration.

   Have fun with your trains

When a door closes another opens.   Keep your head up.  Something else will come along.  Something better.
