The Rail Road Project

Our son Jake as of February 9th is engaged to marry on the 9th of April.  Liz has been staying at our home for over a month now.  Liz is from Buenos Aires Argentina and Jake and Liz have corresponded with each other for the last two years and the know each other well.  We are excited to welcome Liz to our family. 

Jack, Lincoln,  Grampa  and any one else now have the beginnings of a Model Railroad down in the spare room.  Savanna likes to play with it also and is very good at putting the cars on the track. Lincoln and Jack have their own cars.  I think Ethan and Eli, maybe Ande will have some fun playing with the train as well when they come in a couple of weeks.  Looking forward to then.  well have to find a couple of cars for them when they come.  The boys and I should have some new track laid by then. 

This is our layout so far.  Sometime later it will go around the whole room.  The track that is on it now is so bad the trains wreck every other time around.  The kids still have fun playing with it.  I have one engine and few cars to with it and the kids have two engines and some cars that they can play with anytime.  We started this just before Christmas and the boys learn fast how to run it well.  Once we get some new track laid we will start with some buildings that the kids can put togather and paint.  Its a long time project.  Lack of funds slow it down. 

We don't have a horse in our back yard so Grandpa has to provide the ride. The kids have fun anyway.
