On the Road

Hi All;

Myself and another local modeler have started to build a couple of modules and plan on participating in the UMG group http://www3.pei.sympatico.ca/s.jay/UMG/

This should be a great method to get out and enjoy another aspect of model railroading. It will also give me an opportunity to show the Maine Central flag at local shows and events. We built the modules frames and tops yesterday, and plan on tackling the legs very soon. Have a look at this posts picture to see our results. I'll post more on our progress soon. Till next time...

Operating on the WRS

Recently I had the opportunity to once again partake in an operating session. This time it was on Doug's White River Southern http://whiteriversouthern.blogspot.com/2008/07/operating-session-june-30.html, and I must say that it indeed was enjoyable. Doug has an operating system that is relatively easy to follow, and that makes for a fun time for newbies to operations like myself. Doug has a large Point to Point layout that has been designed with a lot of thought to operations in mind. I am starting to look at my own layout in a new light and maybe I will be able to plan some basic operations in the future. Thanks for the insight into this facet of the hobby Doug. Till next time...
