Real life model railroading
#1
September 2017 I was informed that NMRA wanted to do a video and photo article of my layout. I said sure thing, how often do I get a request like that? Well the date was set it coincided with open house schedule, everything would be in tip top shape and running great for open house. The date was either one week before my first open house or one week after the last. (don't remember which) Anyway they canceled out at the last minute, don't remember why. didn't matter anyway. I mean clean up and fine tuning was done for open house. They said they would try another time I was fine with that. 
 Well about 3 or 4 weeks ago I decided to do dome major (to me) remodeling in my train shed as it is called. So now I have a major mess. dust flying every where. Sunday evening week before last I got a call from you will never guess who. No not President Trump. They wanted to try this again. I said sure when, they said how about Thursday Eek .better yet they wanted morning. I explained my situation and reluctantly said sure why not. I doubt if it will run but sure. Well about an hour later I got another call they said make it late afternoon. They showed up nothing would run. Picked switches that I never had trouble with before and about a six foot stretch of main line was dead. I apologized and they left with some messed up video and I hope some fair still pics. to put in their collection. We all smiled shook hands and they left. I say this to say this

LIFE GOES ON
