We’re ready any time as long as you don’t expect perfection! Everything is running. Still lots of weeds to pull and many places in need of ballast, but that doesn’t stop the trains!

Probably sometime after the Invaders visit NJ.

OK - Maybe we can milk one more page out of this!

Tonight I fixed the garden tractor, mowed the lawn and brought a trailer full of topsoil up to the RR. The last of the grading is done.

Pics tomorrow.

And with that I am declaring construction officially complete. The first orders to switch the house were issued and executed today. As of yet the industry remains nameless, it is simply House Lead, House Track One and House Track Two and currently takes Flat Cars, Gondolas, Coal Hoppers and Oil Tankers. Flats and Gondolas are in short supply and high demand so today’s train only delivered hoppers and tanks.

More pictures soon in the Summer Run thread.
