Feeling Excited

   




 

 As  I sit here, I'm feeling excited. I don't have a model railroad budget, but I have time. Well at least when my health allows me the time. Myself and my son Jason love our family layout. My wife created Pine mountain. We've named businesses and other places after family members. Sometimes I can get very frustrated when an engine stops working or the track forces an engine to stall. Or rolling stock derails. But, the times when we dispatch or just do operations it is all worth it. Jason is Autistic, He loves roleplaying, He is a doctor, a Dj, a Minister, Policeman, Firefighter, and now he roleplays the Yard Master on Garrett Layout.  For me, I'd love to get another DCC locomotive. Not sure: NS or CSX? But I'm waiting. Well I guess I'll stop here for now.

Speaking of new, we have also added a small CSX office. On a sad note we had to send NS #5301 to the Bachmann Service, it de-railed and needs some fixing. We hope to be re-introducing the"Rio Grande" brand, yes in the real world there no more but hey this is freelance modeling. We still have the SD-40-T 5378 dummy locomotive, but want to get a powered locomotive to pull it. Bj (wife) says we need some different rolling stock with other companies names.
