Odenville Bill posted:What a great day on the BRM RR. My Father arrived on time with breakfast for everyone. We then relocated to the train building. I had all the accessory lights on as well as a heater. Last night's prep work proved to be time well spent. Everything worked! Then I powered up the track and handed him the remote for my LC+ Southern 4501. I had the engine parked out of sight in the steam shop. As it rolled out, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning. I operated the switches and smoke fluid. He coupled up to my Southern passenger cars and had a blast. He ran for three hours. My layout made a good impression. We discussed future additions and exchanged meaning conversation on life in general. There will be more quality train time soon. My Father had fun. My heart is full.
Bill:
Your layout sounds like it is great. Can you include photos? I am eager to see it.
