It started shortly before 9:30AM Indiana time, when Tony and Rick arrived.
Lynn was still home, but was OK with that. : ) I had some major things I
wanted to get done, mainly get the modules done, get the switches done, and
start transferring the train station on a brick foundation, so it will match
the rest of the modules.


Jason Spears came as well, and helped redo the ramp and help finish one end
of the train shed area. We got some pizza and a good chow down. Stefan
Garcias also came, his aunt lives about a mile from my house, which is a
kicker, and he showed off some of his great creations:

Here is his crane:

Here is his work area train creation (Forgot the name again!)

After lunch, we watched the video Kai kindly made for me, and everyone
thought it was great, I think we will need to do this for the next show,
with some other things as well. • Can't wait to see that video.Sounds good if we want to do it again.
We got back to work, here is Tony and Jason, Tony is working on the switch
on the entrance from the main lines into the train yard:

Here is the canopy, which I started working on a little this week, it is
still in pieces from the Novi show in January. : /

Hmmmmmmm Griswold has some repairs coming to before the GR show also so your
not alone.
We worked on through the afternoon, Jason left sometime, and we got ready to
start working on the station itself. Rick and Stefan got some guidance for
me, as we used some Duplo elements to save some bricks, and built a pretty
solid foundation for the station. We got one done, put it near the other
side of the layout, and started the other foundation.

Tony was working on the station, when gravity took over and WHAM!!!

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...........
It is not too bad, since we needed to fix a great deal on that end anyway.

Here is a shot of the rest of the train yard. • Great start!

Everyone left by 9:30, and it was a blast, a big thanks goes from me to
everyone who helped, I do appreciate it. I hope that everyone else had fun too.

Soiunds like you guys had fun.Wish I could have been there....
