Architecture has been called frozen music, With your artistry you were misplaced as last chair. AS you know playing, in most cases doesn't pay the bills. I worked in the heavy construction field until I retired,(which allows me to play now with out worrying about the beans) Drove Rock Trucks like the one backed on the Grizzly and Water pulls like the Scraper climbing the hill. You caught the very heart of heavy equipment field
Guttersnipe. You hit the nail on the head. I worked at UPS as a part timer to get rhrough college. Didn't finish though because I loved farming more. Was blessed in a few major decisions so now I can enjoy my family and trains . I sure understand the work around heavy equipment as I was around it and still am. But I have to admit I enjoy my trains more now than ever but I don't regret where I came from and what I did during my career. Thanks.

Jumpin Jiminy, our lives have many parallels. I wasn't a good student in high school, and was failing in community college, (funny now they offer a study in which I was working ex-curricular) the college I when to is offing study a broad, and was to busy study broads to be bothered. Instead of flunking out I tried to get in the service, but they didn't want a diabetic. so I put together a band and went to Nam with the USO. When I got back music didn't pay the bills so I worked a variety of Jobs Including fifteen years with UPS before I did fifteen years in heavy construction. Thank God the union was the same for both. Or I would not have had that retirement. I digress I'm beginning to think I want to continue to see the rest of your layout. Looks great
I recently ran a short freight train behind Rutland Railroad #500 - a model of a General Electric 70-Ton locomotive made by Williams-by-Bachmann (23504). The train includes three milk cars - Hood’s Milk - GARE 819, New Haven Dairy GICX 300, and Bellows Falls Co-Operative Creamery MTC 1835. Also, in the consist is Rutland wood caboose #36. Shown on my 10’-by-5’ layout.
