<deep breath> 

My last post was two years ago. Two years later.... Tray, tray again? Sixth time's the charm?

I spent a little time every day this past week cleaning off my layout. To my surprise the motive power still ran pretty smooth. Everything needs a good cleaning, though.

I whipped up a basic plan of my layout. It's 11x4. I still have lots to figure out.

After being my two sons' Cubmaster for almost 10 years I find myself with some free time again (though not too much as I am still an Assistant Scoutmaster for the Troop). Still, I feel big weight has been lifted. Why don't I turn that now open Monday nights into model railroad time?

Unfortunately, in the last ten years my layout - which never got beyond the "Plywood Pacific" has become a dumping ground.
