The holiday season means I get asked to set up a loop at the office.   New office this year means I'm no longer beholden to doubled-desks next to a leaky window.    I have two 4'x8' sheets of chipboard laid in our attic, with about a 3'x8' oval.   Not as much running as before.   I don't like to have it run where I can't hear or see it.

I also found out the Japanese caboose I have (code WaMu, I believe?) has automatic directional lights.    Absolutely cool.   I'm so used to UK outline that lights at all are very novelty, much less on rolling stock.

Lastly, I popped for a new set from Kato.   N scale Chicago & North-Western '400' set.    The '400' was named for covering 400 miles in 400 minutes.  Not this same-said train, but I have ridden these cars before, too.

I'm waiting to be accused of being a Packers fan due to the colors.    I'll have to, eh, correct the opinion.
