I haven't had an update in a long time. It is a combination of me not keeping up with the updates and not really having much to update. Probably more of the latter. I was having a real motivation issue because I was never really happy with how well trains ran on my layout. It was a combination of poor track work and electrical issues. Additionally, my little corner of the basement got taken over as a spare bedroom of sorts. As I final death nail, I got a new job in Savannah, GA. The layout, which was always going to be a chainsaw, got salvaged and put in the trash.

An Introduction:

Between indecision, personal and family member's health problems, and assorted issues that led to my family moving from New York City (our life-long home) to rural Jefferson County Missouri (can you say culture shock?), I feel like I've been spinning my wheels since getting back into the hobby in 2010.

Those of you who have read any of my recent posts will have seen a new link at the bottom of the page.
I have created a web/blog site specifically for the Cornhill & Atherton RR.

Hi All,

I recently had a terrific experience riding in the cab of an Alco 2-6-2 steam loco formerly number 25 of the McCloud River Railroad, now operating on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad (http://www.oregoncoastscenic.org/).
