Just Ian asking the hard question, kinda like a reporter isn't he?

The reason i asked the question has nothing to do with sarcasm, this is not in my nature.

I have always had doubts about good natured hard working people donating their time for a doubtful cause.

Way COOL. I think its always great to be part of something bigger than yourself.
Its always worth a try.[^]

Thanks Marty and everyone else! You guys are supporting me, thanks! And Ian, I dont see how this is a doubtful cause!

Everyone, updates are on my website too!

Ok its your time and effort. I am from Sydney which is Austraias answer to New York and as such i am skeptical about most things that involve getting something for nothing and vise versa.

Ian, the idea is to donate time to preserve a little history, and to take pride in knowing you contributed to others enjoyment.

[Train 284]

Well just to let everyone know who has not seen the updates on my site yet....

Trains are running and the railroad is looking better. Yes trains are running!

It is all very well to try to preserve history, but the past is gone and you can't dwellon it too much.

I am nearly 70 years old and I really only consider today and the future, these are something you can do something about, that may matter in the long run.

Well, I am 14 and have a lot of time on my hands to work on an old railroad that runs now!

Good for you remember. Idle time is the devils playground[}:)]. Not to mention donation of time looks great on a college application[;)].

Good to see that you're making progress. Remember, no matter what you do, someone will wonder why you "wasted your time" doing it. If you're enjoying yourself, and the owner/management appreciates the work you're doing, that's all that really matters.

So, when are we gonna see some pictures of the progress?

I may be doing a little landscaping work this Saturday. We are having a private party. Not much, maybe a little.
