This past weekend was to be the first in two weekends that
were to be very model railroad centric. This coming weekend is of course the
very large Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby show in West Springfield, MA.

I am going on Saturday and meeting friends for dinner afterwards. It is a huge show, over 400,000 square feet
of space, per the web site. Not only is
it dealer, it is manufactures, historical societies and lots of layouts.
This past week end I was to join Chris Adams at his Valley
Railroad for an operation session. I have a link to his fantastic layout in the
margin of the blog. His layout is almost
like two railroads in one, much like the actual New Haven Railroad he so
faithfully models. The largest portion
is of course the New Haven’s valley line, a single track branch line that was
served strictly with local fright, no passenger trains in his late 1940’s time
frame as well as a four track high density main line going through Old Saybrook
CT. Well, I made it a nearly 1/3 of the way to Chris’s house when my car decide
it did not want to continue on. Fortunately
I have AAA gold card and was able to get my Honda towed back to my dealer in
Manchester, NH and got it repaired by 3PM on Saturday. I was able to get down to the basement of a
bit on Sunday and able to get a couple of projects moved alone.
