Wow, so it's almost been a year since I posted last. Back in July I did post a new video to my YouTube channel but neglected to post a link here. So here it is below for those that haven't seen it.
Over the next twelve months, I aim to take some more focus stacked photos and more videos of the layout to document the layout, in case it is eventually moved. I'll post them here when I'm able.
So I have not been building, but I have been running trains. I used to run a car card and waybill system, but lately, I've just been running whatever trains I have felt like. My son is showing more interest in operating the layout so I may see how he likes the car card system. Perhaps our experience may be covered in a future post.
So apologies for the radio silence. But hopefully, I can have a few more posts in the coming months.
Luke,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got a good plan for the foreseeable future.
On my internship, (which turned into two years), I joined a modular club. I never built a module but still found a way to take part, and collected many more trains in preparation for a future railroad. Then when I finished Seminary I moved back to the area where I interned and was able to continue with that group for a few more years before moving to the second call. Of course it was during that final year on campus that I built my Timesaver switching railroad, learning to hand-lay track in the process. And while on internship I met a distant cousin who just happened to be a railfan and he took me to Tehachapi and Cajon Pass.
All this to say, you never know what may await you in a new setting. On the flip side, I've learned to build what you can while you can because you may have to move sooner than later.
Glad to hear an update. Best of luck with the studies!
