The nice weather over the past holiday weekend really helped out with getting a lot accomplished on the train layout. A couple of trips to the lumber store and the sun setting past 9pm, we are halfway around the yard. Taking almost every train car we own out today I had no problem going down the 2 1/2% grade but a bit of a struggle going back up. Being used to having our longest straight-away be 8ft, I am amazed at how beautiful a long stretch of railcars looks. Before it took me 30 seconds to take the train around, now it takes over a minute to drive to the back corner of the yard! It is too hot today to work in the sun, so the evenings have turned into the time when I go into action.
