Coming along nicely.
The box I seem to remember that.

Yeah, that's the other one that popped up from time to time. Here it is on my old layout back in 2003 when I was just getting started:

To continue with my challenge, we've (me and a bunch of those little guys), have done some prep work. The pad for the freight station has been poured and the drive areas have been paved. Across the tracks, the parking lot for the passenger station has been excavated. Seems like the town council opted for concrete instead of asphalt when they realized they could put parking meters in the lot generating enough cash to allow them to hold an occasional meeting in the Bahamas. Not very pretty, but it is progress.

Thanks Tom, I'm never sure just how good things look to others. After working on something for a while, all you tend to see are the flaws that you should have fixed before taking photos. The main thing is that I did "do something", regardless of how good or bad it turned out.

Well Don, it looks good to me, too, and I keep seeing the flaws in my own work. Sometimes we're our own worst critics.

You guys hit the nail square on the head with our tendencies to over judge our own work and never dwell on what we have accomplished. If I had a dollar for every time I have done that I would be living in Bora Bora. The problem is when you allow that self criticism stop you from continuing on. This is why I like this challenge because all you have to do is something.

That has to be true, remember the old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt"?. Well, in our case, it's not contempt as much as "familiarity sees imperfections others don't". I doubt that we are every truly 100% happy with our results, but we are what we are and all we can ask is that we do our do our best, flaws and all are then acceptable...
