Exploring the Outside World Part 2

In my last post I forgot to talk about Day Three of the trip.

Mother Nature decided to give us a little liquid sunshine. So Bruce and I headed for Warren, Mass to pick up a few needed detail parts for projects.

After spending a few hours going from room to room in the old house, which the hobby shop is located, looking at this and that, we finished our shopping and headed for lunch. On our way to Palmer, we saw our first train of the trip, a CSX mixed freight heading for Boston, was holding on a siding. Once in Palmer, we when to the old train station, which has been restored into a train theme resturant. While we where eating a CSX auto rack unit train from Boston, when by. So that makes two trains for the trip, but no MMA.

After leaving Palmer, we had planned on visiting one more hobby shop, but the Friday afternoon traffic was heavy and we ran out of time.

I spoke with Bruce on the phone the other evening. Sounds like you guys had a great trip. I forgot to ask if he remembered his earplugs!

Did you make any great finds at the hobby shop?

Yes he did.

He did not hear the fire alarm, and three fire trucks and two police cars arrive.

The trip to the hobby shop was mostly for detail parts.

The shop we did not get to, was the one that we would have found a few teasures at.
