One of my freinds was here for the afternoon working on my layout as he went to leave we noticed 2 boxes on the porch, deliveryman neglected to knock or ring the bell. We got excited as I had stuff on order I opened one box and there was the 50 ton 3 truck spectrum shay I ordered, the next box was my Prodigy Advance system while we were drooling over that the mailman come up and hands me a box, my new DPX2 Decoder that I ordered for the shay. What a day!

I have been out touch for a while. When I sold my house with my nice big 25'X25' patio I tore my layout apart saved any parts I could scrapped the rest. I thought I was through with trains forever . . . Then in January I went to the "Great American Train Show" and got bitten all over again. I haven't bought any real train stuff for years so It has been really a thrill for me. I started building model, modules, and reading up on DCC and finally buying some stuff. Is there cure out there? I mean besides my wife getting out the axe and "miniturizing" my layout, trains and all. So far she going along with it though I been building my module on her kitchen bartop counter. Keeping my fingers crossed and my lips sealed. Don't ask, don't tell policy.

Only kiddin' about the fat guy in the chimney, Don. I know the excitement of getting "new" stuff.

We really haven't had a big layout here for a bit. I keep building modules just the same. The small layout we do have just provides more stimulus to build.
