First Operation Since Last Year

Glad to learn that your health is restored and the railroad is back in full vigor. Now you just have to keep this up.

 

Christmas Open Houses are always a good deal of fun.

The layout looks awesome, I have family in LI (Oyster Bay and Bethpage areas), if you don't mind me asking, what part of LI are you in?

Good to hear you're back up and running! Nice looking subway set.

 

Terrible weather on LI today. had multiple power failures in Northport.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

Also, what transit cars are those?

All the best this season and always.

Bobby O - Glad to hear you're feeling better!!

Glad to have you back and that you're doing better.

Great news to hear about your health improving and that you are able to run some trains again. Super looking layout Bobby.

Bobby, so glad to hear hour health is much better.  You have a great looking layout and I know your neighbors will love watching and running trains on it.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and God Bless.  Your my man.

Nice layout. I like the "crane."

I am in South Setauket, and my layout is still under construction. The El train is an MTH Rail King LoV.Set. Thanks all for your well wishes. I will be keeping the rails polished. I wish you all a joyful and safe Thanksgiving Day.

Bobby and I are friends and I had a good conversation with him today on the phone.  Thanks people, for wishing him well.  I know from first hand experience how much a kind word from another forum member can help when health kicks you in the pants.

There ya go, Bobby. That's what I'm talking about.

 

Upstate from LI we had a day that was like summer today. Your day wasn't as nice, BUT it motivated you to get the trains running again... bet that felt nice.

 

You (like many of us) have some nice trains already. And, even more importantly, you're personally feeling better. Right there alone, is something to be thankful for. You said it yourself... you haven't run trains in almost a year. 

 

You could have the nicest trains made, but if your health is such you are unable or don't feel like running them, what's the point. Health first. Trains second.

 

And if I may make a suggestion: Try doing your train layout open house a little sooner. You just might be the motivation to get someone else interested in the hobby soon enough to inspire a train set for Christmas. That would probably make you feel good too!
