The progress keeps on keepin' on......
Periodically we have visiting "Live Steam" railroaders so a
special "Steam Up" area was constructed so the could have a
place for their locomotives, rolling stock, water, fuel and other
stuff needed.

main line as Thomas runs by on the other loop.

Six weeks after it was ordered, the train shed finally
arrived on Thursday, June 23rd. The setup crew arrived at
6:30 in the morning and started putting it together. The
whole thing comes prefabricated on a flatbed truck.

Now that the shed has been completed, we were able to
pour a new concrete patio, enclose the existing patio to
include a dining area and my computer desk. Both areas
are for train watching. While we eat and as I work on the
computer.
The outdoor patio is covered and is a very comfortable
conversation and train watching area.

Most of the major work is done on the railroad. Ballast has
been leveled, switches operate properly and trains run
smoothly.
