Good evening all
We had rain all day, not really heavy but enough to keep it muggy.
I got an email last week from the son of a dear friend that passed away several years ago. He said he wanted me to have his dad's train collection for a very reasonable price so I drove a hundred miles to pick it up today. Turned out to be about 10 times more than I expected. Now everytime I run a train I will think of the times when he was here running his trains. I really feel special and I had never met the boy before (that is what Bill always called him "My boy" He is a carbon copy of his dad except for the lack of a beard.
The motor home is ready for paint, now I need good weather. I don't have a shop to get it in so it will have to be painted in the great outdoors, like all the other rail equipment I have painted over the years.
Have a safe Labor day
