A Christmas time picture of my dad, around 1986, and the layout I had built in 1983 - it was neat and packed a lot of train action on a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood. He let me set it up in the porch of his business. I was fascinated by military trains/layouts and purchased a Lionel army set and along with Corgi tanks that was the theme. I joined the army a short time later.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Peter it's good to see the giraffe train got a run so close to Christmas.

They had been cooped up since mid-November and were clamoring for a ride.....I hesitated because with all the things I had to do around Christmas, the thought of having to sweep out those stock cars after a run (they eat a LOT od leaves!), was pushing me back. In the end, I did it because some of my modular group buddies graciously volunteered to help me with the clean up........

Another photo from this evening now that Christmas with my wife and my youngest daughter has been celebrated.  Still lots of gifts under the tree for my adult daughters, their spouses, and my parents yet this week.  The AF Atlantic has been running fairly trouble free after adjusting the SE corner of the 042 curves.  I plan on upgrading to 072 track next year so that the train will run that much better!  Hope all of you who celebrated today, had a wonderful Christmas.
