I'm still here ...

Just to prove that I haven't abandoned this blog, here's a photo of the Akoonah Park Men's Shed layout. The three fellows in the photo (Bill, Gerald and Don) are the Empire Builders responsible for most of the layout's construction.



















The layout is a two-track 'roundy-rounder' with a few passing sidings, and is wired as two loops. We kept the wiring as simple as possible as most of the guys at the Men's Shed have had little or no prior experience with operating model railroads.

I'm also pleased to report that work has finally started on the new house, and we hope to move in sometime in November.  The GC&SF should be operating again sometime before Christmas.  It will be good to see my trains running again.

Regards,
Ron
