Wow, it's been a while since back whenever. A lot has happened in the
interim. We've moved twice, I've had several surgeries (rotator cuff,
then shoulder joint replacement, then ...)
So, here at the end
of winter 2019, I'm able to get back to the trains. I now reside in
Collinsville, TX, north of Dallas about 18 miles south of Oklahoma.
Contact
has been made with North Texas TTrak group, and I have been in two
shows since 1/1/2019. Oh, man, it felt GOOD to participate, especially
with the friendly people of NTTT.
In the second show I was able to trial a new small camera, and make some N cab ride videos.
Here's the NTTT layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJsmlrEM9E8
And, on the Tex-N layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqARHBhgHrE
I'm
hoping to finally get a semi-permanent layout set up by summer. I've
been making drawings using modules I have, I must say it's looking
promising. A part of it should be the CJ&K Rwy:

Big dreams - and if I can not fall and injure myself again, just maybe . . .
Here's an annotated drawing of where I'm wanting to go. Much may change, but, hopefully, much will remain . .
At any rate, I've pulled the modules and placed them together on tables for the first time in almost three years. Hopefully, some real progress can be made, now. There is surprisingly little track damage (but not none, alas) while they were in storage. I'm hoping to have trains running by the weekend. Novel idea - run trains at home!
