I have been planning a N Scale model railroad now for about 6 months.  Originally I was planning on modeling the BPRR and BSOR from Buffalo to Gowanda / Salamanca.  I figured this would be an interesting local shortline to model which would provide some interesting and fun operating sessions.  Planning a model railroad takes a long time, and indeed I spent many hours working out track plans and trying to fit everything into the space I have allocated.  I have a decent sized 19 by 33 foot room to use as a train room.  So that will suit almost any project nicely.

Things have been going a lot better lately.  Anxiously awaiting the closing date for our new house.  Got a nice raise at work, and the weather is getting nicer.

I have decided that I want to get a push mower for the new house.  An unusual decision for a fat guy like myself, but I do want to start loosing weight, and I am not just saying that either.  I figure with a quiet push mower, I can get up early on the weekend (which is my usual schedule) and mow the lawn right after sunrise without waking the neighbours up.
