 First things First ( I won't get a Birthday present cause I got it last Month! 

             I want to thank my Son Jason for all his support with our layout. He is Autistic but tries really hard to and succeeds at being a Yard Master. 

               I re-designed the track so he can learn more engineering coman control operations, it's a 4x6 oval. 

My oldest son (Charles) has moved back in so we've changes the hobby room (formerly known as the living room,) Thank you Wife!!! for allowing this. 


    This month we are going to concentrate on painting and finishing up the hills and mountains.


 HOLD UP!! HOLD UP! , I NEED MORE COFFEE, BE RIGHT BACK! 


Whew almost lost it there! As I was saying we are going to work on claying and painting the hills and mountains. My wife: Bj (God love her) said we need more cow-bell no wait I mean trees. I'm hoping we get some updates on 5301 (SD-40-2) Iis at bachmann repair. 

    As previously mentioned my oldest has moved back in, I'm hoping he too will start using our Layout. See he is one of those "Gamers".He is also in the middle of a  D-I-V-O-R-C-E. and that has him a bit down. Well that is about it for today.  Wait one more thing my wife went to the Hospital please pray for her.

                 Update: 5-31-25.        Well, we've come to the last day of May, and we've made changes to our layout. To start with we have a new locomotive: CSX 5943 (Dash-8B) This is our first Atlas brand and we love it! To the left you see out new NS Garrett Yard office and maintenance. 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.
