That has to be the ultimate compliment. Thanks! I lived in Longmont back in the mid 80's and would love to return with the family to see Colorado again and do some railfanning.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
QUOTE: Originally posted by TrevorG Grande man, I love the pictures of your loco's and the fine detail work you've shown in your pictures, but when you said there was going to be a virtual tour I figured that we would see more shots which show your layout, from...not so close-up. I Love what you've posted and appreciate the time and effort it took to do this, but it would be great to see the layout from perspective that would show the run of your tracks, and the scenery from a broader point of view. Just my 2 cents worth, Trevor

If only more fathers took the time to do this, maybe we would have more dual parent homes today. You are to be commended dad, GOLD STARS for you and your son !!!!!!!!! And your son will have many happy memories as he gets older won't he !!!

These are really old flats, even have trees growing through the deck. There was also a thought that there was a derailment there and the flats were just abandonded. If you want to see 'em let me know via e-mail or otherwise.

That would be a great place to post them as well.
