The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Heya Don! Stopped in to say Hi! It's been warm up here in Indiana but nothing compared to Phoenix. I tell ya, I don't miss that heat AT ALL! We're supposed to get 1.7 inches of rain July 3rd and another 8/10's July 4rth. We went and bought a bunch of fireworks ourselves (the good ones), but may have to wait until the rain moves out before we can launch 'em. I can say without a doubt that there will be 0% chance of setting anything on fire up here after all that rain!
In other news, I've been designing a new layout! Since I now have a sizeable basement, I've been planning on using most of it for the railroad. I have to leave room for the foosball table, the slot car table and a 3 foot aisle down the side to access the laundry room. It will be N scale with a touch of HOn3 (lower level) and take up roughly 21'x12'. I'm designing in all kinds of things I've never had the chance to try before (a small helix being one of them). Take care!

Hey Tom, good to hear from you. Glad to see you're getting back into modeling. I know, you really had to sweet talk your family into getting the space you had in Phoenix, sounds like you have unrestricted access to space now. We moved a few months ago and I trashed my layout. Right now I'm not sure where I can make space for one.

That fire up north did get onto I-17 the other day. They're replacing burned guard rails and posts that were burned. The news showed houses where toys were burned outside, but there were not any homes burned, all saved by firefighters. Hot and dry, hot and humid, this is that time of the year for us.

Tom, keep us posted on your progress, I've always liked what you do.
