Visit to some fellow modellers

I have just got back from vacation on the west coast. Went to meet up with friends and family. Visited with long time friend, fellow geologist and model railroad enthusiast Marc Simpson. Marc was able to get me down to meet Mark Dance and see his world class layout, The Columbia and Western Railway.

i took my HBMS #2 to Marc’s layout for a few photo ops. Marc models HBMS and the CN line. 

The Pine Spur Chronicles

What started out to be a simple new layout with a loop of track, inspired by the one-town layout design concept, has morphed into a railroad that I have become very excited about building. It is still a basic loop that will start and end in a four track staging loop and pass through the town of Waipahu (pronounced “why pa who”) where cars will be left for the branch line.

Discovering history through research, using it to plan a layout...

Have a short post for today.  Have been researching and walking about trying to link history to today.  Have found some facts and am narrowing in on what I want to build.  A lot of what I am doing is similar to what Jim Six is writing about in his "Limited Modeler" column.  My hometown is Tonawanda and North Tonawanda in western New York.

How I have become the problem....

I feel I must come clean, I have realized that an ugly side of me has come back to the forefront of my personality, and for this reason, I feel that I need to apologize to the wonderful folks on this forum.  I have been argumentative, arrogant, and downright nasty.  I will refrain from posting unless I have something positive to add.
