No the WRS has not disappeared

I was looking and it has been three months since the last posting.  Where has time gone.

Construction on the WRS did not happen this summer as planned.  Still looking at options on dealing with the issues that came up with the removal of the bar.  Time to make a choice and move on with it.

The Railroad did operate once this summer, received a call that two most senior members of the Board of Director (my Great Nephews) were coming the next day to operate.  So the next 24 hours was spend getting the Railroad ready for them.  Trains operated from the South Yard to Whiskey Falls.  Which is now the end of the line until the section from Whiskey Falls to Riverside is replaced.
Most of the session was flats moving construction equipment to different locations on the railroad.  The interesting thing that came out of this session, was they found some 20 ft containers that were in storage and place them around the railroad as buildings, some of these will be staying.

Most of the summer railroading time was spend on the On30, with weekly construction nights. A total of six new modules were added to the group.  Also did a little work/repairs on Wayne's and mine modules.

Last Sunday, I attended the MFMR Clinic day in Truro.  The four clinics were great and I did learn a few things.

Now with the Truro Show less then a week away, it is time to get the On30 stuff packed for the show.

I am hoping that after the Truro Show, I will be able to get back to work on the WRS.

until next time
