It's been a very busy few weeks. Not all model railroad related. Things were coming along very nicely with the APA box layout then we had a flooding in our basement. Luckily the layout was not damaged but quite some time was spent sorting the mess out. Which, of course left me precious little time to get the layout ready for the Granite City Train Show. I kinda sorta had it ready to exhibit. There was a bit of a bodge job in the fiddle yards but everything worked OK on the day and the layout impressed many people. In fact you can read a bit about it here at a friends blog - http://look4trains.com/2012/04/granite-city-in-rain.html

It impressed one person enough to invite me to another show in Alexandria , MN next weekend. So, I'm working pretty hard to sort out my previous bodge job and get everything ready to show again. Perhaps when things have calmed down after next week I can write more at a more relaxed pace.
