Happy new year everyone! We had a great time on our Fargo trip and enjoyed partying with the band our son and his soon to be works for!

Did make the hobby store up there, didn't buy much, some detail stuff, a coupler hight gauge, some more couplers, and the spacers.

Good morning all. Started designing "The Ames Ridge" for operation. I will be doing simulated movements between the two layouts until I can design and build a liftout.
Not going to go crazy on that one until the track is swapped over, but the idea is to be able to keep running trains until I get the basics in hand. John

I went to hobbyland today. The store pretty much wiped out of train stuff, I did buy some train figures. Prices are about the same as going online so I'll make some more trips when they restock.

Good evening,

Ran some trains for an HO buddy today. He liked the sounds and smoke. Had four steamers going at once, cough - cough. :)

Here are some pics of the latest addition.

Morning all, didn't get to the hobby shop yesterday:cry: , spent my money at Home Depot for stuff for the house:cry: :cry: :cry: . On the bright side the new kitchen will have water sometime today:thumb: .

Getting ready for my daughter, son in law and 2 of my grandkids being here this weekend, the last of Christmas for us this year:D ! The grand kids don't know about the train, I can't wait to show them! One is 8 and the other is 4, both boys. They don't know it yet but their dad and other grandpa are going to get a Bachmann DCC starter set for next Christmas! Other Grandpa has enough room for it and loves trains, daddy loves trains but they have never done anything like that. Other grandpa wants to get the boys a set but says that mom and dad don't have enough room....he only lives a mile away....
