Well, with 2015 almost here it's time to make those new year's resolutions again.
I think this will be the year that I make a serious effort to clean out the train room and start a layout. And I mean a real layout not just a loop of track. I have been working on a track plan for awhile now and all I have to do is polish it up a bit.
What about all of you? What new year's resolutions, if any, are you planning?

Put away the Christmas layout neatly with a plan and do the building, so that everything goes together easily next year.
2015 resolutions! It doesn't seem that long ago I was making/breaking 2014 resolutions.
1>Buy less stuff
2>Run more of what I already own.
3>Sell what I no longer need.
Build a better layout.
Even if I achieve #1, I will be way ahead!!
Sell off all my extra stuff from tearing down my layout and moving. Build a new logging type layout and buy some geared locos and try something totally different. Build mostly from scratch. Join a local club and see how that goes. Get a new girlfriend and see how that goes. Make a lot of dough while reducing stress.
I will ask permission to rub Ed Boyle's head for luck at York. It works.
I will urge Angela Trotta Thomas to feature our Forum mascot, Ralph, in one of her paintings. In October I happened to visit her when Mrs. Marty was there, and we showed her a photo of Ralph.
I will thank Mike Wolf for all his great Reading models and encourage him to make more.
I will urge Lionel to offer a model of Baldwin 3-cylinder compound 4-10-2 No. 60000 in The Train Factory (formerly Railroad Hall) in The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. The full-scale crackle black paint scheme with faded yellow lettering (THE BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS) would look great!
I will modify Spellcheck to watch for "L****P."
I will delight in great clouds of JT's MEGASTEAM
I will regard OGR as devotional reading.
I will be grateful to Reading Steam Guru, Wowak, and J.D.S. LIMITED PRODUCTIONS for, respectively, painting and detailing my Lionel Reading T-1 as 2124; installing working valve gear and scale details; and adding a fan-driven smoke unit and (while he was in there) an LED headlight.
I will be amused as the occasional topic causes fussin' and fightin'
I will wish Rich & Co. good luck with the 765, OGR, and other worthy endeavors.
Get a new girlfriend and see how that goes. Make a lot of dough while reducing stress.
William 1, those two may not dwell together in perfect harmony
