Is train season in full force for you too?

Full Force train season for me is 365 days a year minus time out of town on vacation from retirement.

Warming up in the bullpen!! Once the tree is up, lookout!! 

Oh yeah, I'm in the process of assembling another diorama - with luck I'll have it finished and ready to photograph by the weekend.

This year, I'm setting up a 5' X 16'. Postwar style layout using Fastrack along one wall of our living room. I plan to set it up Thanksgiving and take it down after New Years. I have a 4 week break at work and plan to make a LOT of ozone and finish off a few bottles of Mega Steam! I'll make sure to post photos! That's about it for train season at my house this year. I'll be away on projects most of 2020 so the big permanent layout will have to wait.

WABBIT SEASON!

Sure starting to feel like now that its getting colder. Been easing back into it as time permits.

Almost done with the outdoor chores except for those pesky leaves that keep falling off the darn trees.

WABBIT SEASON!

Twain Season!

It snowed 2" on Halloween and 3" today. I put my Thunderbird away for the winter on Saturday. Now that my car hobby is done till April it's full time train season for me, at least where leisure time is concerned. I've got a bunch of scenery projects planned for my layout this winter so I should hopefully have enough to keep me busy. 

                           Time to start unpacking my American Flyer stuff!

365 days a year!!!!

Like an on/off switch for me.  A few weeks ago I tried but ended up not having energy for it.  Now it's full on.

Good evening, yes it started about a month ago.

Myself and 4 other individuals from here in the Indiana Pennsylvania has put together a fairly large modern MTH and Lionel layout in a empty store in the Indiana Mall.

Along with our layout we have 15 other layouts in different size and scales.

Attached are a couple of photo’s I took this morning when we were making the final adjustments and tweaks.

Full force for me! York (and the SGMA standard gauge breakfast), riding behind N&W 611 at Strasburg, Allentown fall meet, building lots of new trains for folks. visiting train friends to see their collections and layouts. Yes!

Not yet. I'm still in getting ready for winter mode. I live in NH.

Yeah, big time!  

York, Rockville Tracker show this past weekend, NCHR Round Robin Club Party here tomorrow night, Trackers at Manassas 12/20-22, Trackers at B&O Railroad Museum 12/26-31, and SGMA at Worlds’s Greatest Hobby Show at Dulles 2/7-9.

Been a rough year all around for me, didn’t even go to York or Allentown. Did spend Sunday in the basement, cleaning my layout, some displays, and organizing the basement itself. This weekend I will set up my basement Christmas tree. Next weekend, I will bring in the train layout that supports our main tree. Always takes a solid week to put it all together. 

Can’t wait to get rolling.

Saw UP 4014 come north out of Houston.  Cold, for Houston, outside.  Exhaust turned into white cloud above the train.  Came up under the Hardy Toll Road.  The exhaust hung under the bridge.  I think Daffy would say it is twain season!

It’s full throttle for me from September to about June that’s my season. Got the green light from the tower to build a layout in our once was a dinning room and the table is about done for the big layout in the garage and working on our Christmas layout under the tree. The layout will be O27 post war in the old dining room.  

What changed?...always involved with trains...
