My bride ceded storage space so I could almost double the layout’s size this past weekend. See photobook.

Doug,

Looking good. I will check it out better when I get home. I see James is busy pulling the passenger cars and he does not look happy.

OK DougM. What did she buy to make such a significant space concession to you? Sweet outcome nonetheless!!! [:D]

Very cool Doug. That’s a great deal of real estate you have. One question: Is that a Thomas/Pre-war hybrid?

Regards,

Joe

Yes, Joe, a 248 with Thomas’ face on it (from a Lego set). It fits neatly over the two flag posts.
Jack, I think it is payback from cleaning the basement. Who knew!? So before minds could change, track was thrown over everything.

Very nice Doug. Can’t wait to get that far with mine. I still need to do elect and ceiling before I can do track.

Doug,

Congratulations on the space aquisitions. I have always enjoyed seeing Thomas and his friends on your layout. You have blended an old hobby with a new twist.

Let me offer a tip of the fedora on your accomplishments.

I bet you already have plans for the added space and perhaps even a few items hidden away. I know when I expanded the space on the Blueboard Central I had it filled up in no time.

Enjoying the World’s Greatest Hobby

Thank for all for celebrating with me. It’s so huge and empty. Laz, I think it is now something like 19 by 14 ft. [:D]

The platelayers rapidly spread track everywhere before anyone in authority could change ‘her’ mind. The main runway at Baker Field is being expanded.
