I'm freelancing my layout so I have a pretty broad and varied possibility for a 'history'. It goes something like this, so far. In the 70's the Morale Falls and Sadgino (read Joe Fugates former layout) sold their operations and holdings to a different organization (me) with an as yet to be determined name. The new company was looking to build and expand on an established organization and the sale was approved. Over the next two decades several false starts were attempted with limited and futile results. (I didn't have the time or space for a layout) In the 90's a major shift in the direction of the railroad was begun ( We built a new house with a dedicated train room) and expansion began. Initially, the right of way grew ( I built several new tables) and track laying began.Due to unmotivated management (I was busy with kids, family and other things), this effort was not sustained and faltered after 9 years. A sudden downturn in the economy (my wife lost her job to downsizing as we were building our new retirement home) brought the upstart railroad to a jarring halt. The railroad went into an idle period ( I had to store the layout while we built the house) and after emerging from possible financial ruin ( my wife landed a dream job with a new company) the Long, Thyme n Cummin R.R. was raised from the ashes of the now defunct Morale, Falls and Sadgino ( I had to scrap Joe's former layout ). After 2 years, the L T & C is growing at a record pace. Full operations have not yet begun ( I can only run an engine back and forth on a section or two of track) but the future is bright and it's full steam ahead.
