Spring's arrival means
Soon, train lemmings march to York
Can't resist the pull.

Fifty nine years old

Had expressed no interest
It is just their loss
Four years of his life
Giving his best to succeed
It failed in the end
I was three months old
When this great engine was scrapped
Yet I can’t forget
I’m an Engineer
Still trying to emulate
Bigger than life Dad
I read these three books
All the details come to life
Failure isn’t fair
If now could be then
With today’s control systems
Would it have still failed?
Original gone
I wait for the brass model
It will run again
Sometimes toys aren’t toys
They let us turn the clock back
To what used to be

So, York, here I come!
Wonderful, fellows!

Building that layout:
I work so slowly, it costs
Just pennies a day
roarin' round the bend
comes a smokin' steam engine
gonna rock my house
legend, myth and man
swung a ninety pound hammer
like noone else can
Sorry I'm late friends.
Got tied up with the labor
That feeds train habit.
Got through meetings
By sketching layout ideas
In margins on notes.
Got an eBay find.
That I had been looking for.
For several years.

Ran it Wednesday night
On the club layout main lines
With 2-3-9-6.
Didn't take photos.
Had a big case of brain fade.
Will take some later.
I need to track down
A cab one remote control
or buy Legacy
Old Cab one remote
Finally quit stopped working
After all these years.
Will troll for new one
On the largest garage sale
Sometimes called eBay.
