I run trains when the kids want to run their trains or I want to relax. I would like to run everyday, even if its for just a few minutes.

See Steve, you are blessed, and get to spend some quality time with your trains.

I try and run 2 to 4 times a week weather permitting, or if some one comes and want to see the trains, some times i run them up to 3 hrs. at a time , changing engines every now and then. BEN

To be perfectly honest, I'm lucky if I get out twice a month in the summer to run trains. In the winter, it's usually only on the odd really warm day, or if I'm testing something that I'm building in the workshop.

It doesn't really bother me, either. The garden exists for aesthetic pleasure whether trains are running or not. So long as I can look outside and enjoy the landscape, that's really enough to keep my energies going.

Later,

K
