Howdy, you roundhouse rowdies and gandy dancers,

 

I've been running my beloved Calico Freight Lines desert railroad a couple times a week, even though I've been sidetracked by the new Drone fad.  (I now have 2 of 'em)

 

[Pardon me boys...is that the Chattanooga Choo-choo?]

HEY MARK,

 

There are no "trains" running around my Calico Freight Lines layout. 

 

There is only ONE train, my "Calico Freight Lines", running aimlessly around my desert wasteland, like Wagner's "Flying Dutchman Overture", sailing the seas forever with a ghost crew, never to find a port!

 

Similarly, my CFL will never find a warehouse siding and will never offload or take on any new cargo.

 

It's not a real train, and does not even pretend to be like a real train even reduced to its 1/48-scale world. It is in my Billiard Room (not a Train Room), only by consent of my Tournament-Size Billiard Table, which has kindly allowed a 124-foot perimeter around it to enable Calico Freight Lines to exist.

 

I don't have a Train Room like the rest of you...I have a Billiard Room in which a single train runs aimlessly around! The primary use for building the 500 sq. ft. addition was to be a Billiard Room...model railroading is secondary.

 

This is how I enjoy Model Railroading (whenever I do)...the simpler, the better!

Hej Rip Track. Drago mi je što stvari idu dobro uz željezničku prugu. Nadam se da radite dobro previše.Neradnik stvar koja je super. ali pazi FAA možda želite vidjeti vaše licence.

 

Translation: Hey Rip Track. I'm glad things are going well along the railway line. Hope you are doing well too. The drone thing that's great. But beware FAA might want to see your license. Doug

 

One more thing I forgot about the Great Northern Goat on mountain.. I forgot about the polish thing too. But rule292 did wish you good night in polish.  Same time Same station next month?

 

Doug
