FOR TODAY:  Monday morning at the team track.  Horace Goucher is trying to reposition the crate on the pallet as forklift operator Art Leakin patiently waits.  Of course Flip Watson and Tomcat Pierson, standing in the doorway of the boxcar, can't wait till Horace get the crate into position on the pallet.  Foreman Bart Simpson ( no relation to the cartoon character ) wonders how many more crates can this truck hold. ... just another day on the railroad.

Monday morning on the commuter platform conductor Mumpy Gene Baldwin waits for his passenger train.  He will relieve another conductor on an incoming train.  IMG_0736

Nice Patrick! It is so amazing that Patburg is always bustling and busy! For such a small town it must have a lot of visitors! I sure would like to visit it some day! LOL

@mikeg.  Thanks so much!   You are always welcome to come visit Patsburg anytime.  As a matter of fact , when you do, the mayor will honor your arrival by giving  you the "key to the city".  

Here's Joe's Diner that plays the Rock Around the Clock song from the 1950s:

Arnold I have the very same Joe's Diner.  When it emerged from long term storage it would play Rock Around the Clock continuously with out being activated.  After removing the power to try to reset it  it fired up again but almost instantaneously turned to crackling static, so now my Diner is silent.

#30 on my count"UP" of Christmas layouts.

The "L" at the bottom will be 2 elevated sections. One is 4'x4' and the other is 4'x8'.  Dotted lines represent grades.

Here's how much planning I do: I even plan out the layout of the various sized pieces of Homasote!  I put blue insulation board underneath (they are 1/2" smaller that the matching Homasote piece).  Since they are smaller that leaves gaps between them which I use to run wires thru, avoiding showing wires as much as possible.

Count"UP" now at 31 for my Christmas Layouts.

Just a reminder: my idea is/was to show growth from year to year and NOT concentrate on small scenes.

Last time I showed that I go as far as planning Homasote positioning.  I also spend considerable time determining scenes to use and where to use them.

This one shows the plateau. It's what i call the 2nd level.
