Need a way to honor your Mother AND the Mother of your children on Mother's Day? Take them both (and the children too) on a special Mother's Day double-header excursion on the Oakhurst Railroad.
Or maybe I should stop taking pictures of my model railroad and call my Mom!

Margaritaman This is a picture of my "trainhouse" but I also get to show you my gardening efforts that are starting to pay off. So while I wait for something to dry or set on the layout, I go work on the plants. The trainhouse was my daughter's playhouse that I built six years ago, but since reclaimed due to her outgrowing it.

I did help the kids plant a few flowers in the backyard and sprayed a little liquid Miracle Grow on the bushes ... but it looks nothing like your backyard ... your backyard looks perfect for sipping a few Margaritas ...
Here's what I accomplished today, I painted a Musket Miniatures Train Engineer. After making a couple of modifications, I had to chop off part of his legs, And bend him into a sitting position. Then I discarded the P2K original engineer and placed the new guy in the seat. Now My Engineer has one arm on the window sill and is reaching for the control panel with the other...

That is very creative modeling. Hats off.

The trainhouse was my daughter's playhouse that I built six years ago, but since reclaimed due to her outgrowing it. Is that a jacuzzi in the center or a humoungus firepit? That train house would never fly in Iowa. -20 degree's and 2' of snow. That would be one cold trip. So how large is the train house?

Jacuzzi that never gets used, needs a refurb, and will in fact become a firepit this summer. Trainhouse is 7' x 11' outside, 6' x 9' inside. -20? No thanks. There is a reason I live out here and put up with L.A. city life.
