Christmas

Well Christmas has now come and gone. My friend David has been hard at work on his N-Scale layout. I have helped a little but the most of all of it has been his from layout planning all the way to the building of the benchwork. His work does gove me grand ideas for my layout whenever it gets torn down and rebuilt. I did get a few items for the trains for Christmas. The most important is a new bridge that will span Old Grizzly Gulch. My initial idea for a trestle was not working out ... either due to my failure to keep on task or the million other thing to do. So I got the Cornerstone Single Track Truss Bridge http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3185. I will be a little more comfortable letting the trains rumble across this. I also got two new SOO cabooses to go with the fleet.
