I try to do maintaenance on my locomotive fleet after my daughter goes to bed. I usually can find time to work on the layout for about an hour on the weekend.
Soon I hope to start structures again during the week now that I have a lit work station in the office.
I'll be able to keep freshly painted sections out over night so they can dry.

Anytime I feel like it, day or night. Sometimes, I don't even know if it is day or night, I sheetrocked over the two small windows in the trainroom a long time ago.[8D][:P][:P]

Most any evening after dinner, dishes and paper work. Large blocks like school vacation week are tied up with household jobs like painting, roofing, or yardwork. But I do plan to use several sick or personal days for railroadwork some times in the near future.

I work on it every time I get the chance. When I get free time, I try to find a railroad project that I actually feel like doing.

I do somthing rail related every day.

whenever i have something to do i try and do it. usually its not very often that i get to do something. usually its just looking on the internet in different forums. i don't have much work to do or get to enjoy running the trains as i have no layout or bench work yet. once i start getting more kits and what not then i'll have a lot more to do.

Whenever I have the spare time. I dont have a specific "night" as i am always doing something or other. The trains are always a secondary priority (or else i get an earfull...)

   Have fun with your trains

I tend to work as and when I feel like it. This is usually when I've got nothing else to do - right now I'm sorting through my collection and trying to create a MS Access database as I don't have a definitive inventory of my collection - something that is very handy for avoiding duplicates!

What night do you have???

Hey Guys

I was just wondering what night do you guys have for working on your railroad? Or do you just work on something as the mood strikes. I try to work on either a freight car or something small and keep the big things like scenery, or operating until the weekend.

hope to hear your thoughts

Jeremy
