I forgot to take a picture of my birthday present given by my dear children!
Thank you very much to Emily & Brian, Ben, James & Natalie!
You are the best kids ever!!!
I had to change the location for the UP5 since the cable wouldn't reach the previous location. |

Newly installed UP5. The station covers the old location in the distance. |

I finally wired up the Coal Plant parking lot lights. Maybe a bit too bright, but we'll go with the look for now. |
I wanted to take a picture from a distance to see what it looks like. |
SPECIAL GUEST
This is Tyler Wierzbinski. He works for Fresh Air dryer duct cleaners. When he came downstairs the first thing he said was, "Wow!" He made my day! |
In order to prepare the street lights for installation I added the resistor and feeder wires. |
Here's the technique I used to solder the ends. |
SPECIAL GUESTS
Emily and Ida Zielke stopped by this evening and checked out the trains. Charlie also was here but didn't want his picture taken. |

Here's what it looks like under the table. |

This was Charlie's train where he was the engineer and Ida was the conductor. |
This is the Train Order Sheet that will capture the moment. |
After Ida and Charlie left I put together this intermodal train. |
This is the Train Order Sheet that will capture the moment historically. |
