Your layout is looking great! Thanks for posting your progress!
The Alaska adventure has come to an end--relocating to San Antonio--the good news, house has a room I can use for trains, so once I am settled in there will be a new thread in the track planning forum. I am taking my Alaska locomotives and passenger cars with.
Orind,
Congrats on the relo - will you start from scratch again? I hope you are high on ground in San Antonio
From scratch. The home we purchased has a room I can dedicate to my trains--fairly sizable too, and I will not be limited to just hugging the wall. I still have my N gauge items too--I could do the O as a garden railway (stainless track) and the n indoors--right now, all options are on the table--but, I am fairly certain it will be O in the room.
Wow! I can’t believe you’re moving and starting over. Long story, but I still haven’t started my build yet, and may never now, and here you are moving. Good luck on the move. San Antonio will certainly be different from what you’ve been used to.
Orin, I'm sorry to see the Alaska RR come to an end, but will look forward to seeing your new topic for San Antonio! Have a safe move!!
Orin, like Mark I was sorry to see the Alaska Railroad ( in Alaska ) come to an end. But sometimes we have to move. San Antonio is not a bad place to relocate to. Plus you already have a room allocated for a train layout. Seeing you brought your Alaska railroad engines and cars with you you can always build another Alaska railroad if you wanted to. What ever the layout becomes post pics of the progress after you have settled into your new digs............Paul 2
Thanks--I am sure the Alaska Railroad will liv din some form in San Antonio
Orin I second what Mark Boyce said. I hope the move is something you want to do not something you have do. Alaska is beautiful but as I get older I do not like winter as much as I once did so my wife and I are also looking to make the move to warmer climate.
It was just time--my two older kids have relocated to the lower 48, aging mom in Arizona, large empty house up here. My wife will retire, I feel I have another 12 to 15 years to give so we ended up where I found work. flights are a lot easier, cheaper, and shorter from Texas to Az, Id, Co than they are from Alaska.
