Finishing up paperwork for Monday.
Almost done.
THE ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT!
Back in Week 339 on Thu, Jan 28 I had a special session where Tony Passaglia and his son, Cameron stopped by to run trains. Tony noticed some spots on the layout that he recognized from his growing up days in the same areas. Today Tony sent me this BEST EVER COMPLIMENT video showing his appreciation for what he saw on the layout.
His caption for the video was:
| Clinton and Milwaukee |
Length: 00:55 sec.
Thanks so much Tony!
