Special Guest: Terry McLoughlin

Terry McLoughlin stopped by to look at some plants and as he was here he stopped to see the train too.
He said, "I'm impressed."

Train Day!

with Jordan Osborn and Cameron Passaglia

5:30-6:45pm 1.25 hrs.

Jordan Osborn and Cam Passaglia getting ready to run some locomotives in preparation for the Train Show in July.

I had some time to paint the ground throws the divergent color, red.

We tried to get the excursion train on the mainline but we had too many distractions tonight to make that successful.

Brothers, Paul & Julius Zuehlke, stopped by to deliver their boyhood trains in five containers.
To me it's like Christmas in June!

We finished off the night with not much progress.
Lots of phone time tonight.

SPECIAL GUEST: Josiah Crockett

Josiah helped me go through the boxes donated by the Zuelhke boys.

Josiah sat so quietly going through the train cars and locomotives.

Then he began putting the HO tracks together.
Not an easy task.

The oval is just about finished.

He even got the train on the track and could push it along without derailing.
Another not so easy task to do.

Josiah in action...driving train and stopping to let the people on/off.

Length: 00:00:27 sec.

Two of these buildings come from the Zuehlke brothers.

I organized all the buildings in different categories.
Commercial, Residential, Industrial, etc.

Getting ready to put the wedding train away at Kuipers Farmview RR.
This is the back of the train looking toward the depot.
