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.

Melgar, you always make it interesting; thank you.
Hey Y'all
I found myself in the train room this morning. This is what I ran. Now I feel a turkey sandwich is about to happen.

Found myself in the train room this morning and ended up having to put the 1/220 scale around the Christmas Tree
