lt's coming on 2 years now since the track plan went from a vision, to paper, and then into reality. I spent considerable time envisioning what my first layout would look like, how it would be built, and what it would be like finally running the   trains. After many hours of enjoyable effort, running the trains became a reality. Scenery began to sprout up and mountains took shape.  Operating multiple  trains with my grandsons or friends was fun and a challenge.

If you been on the nScale.net forum for any amount of time you have undoubtedly seen a post or thread authored by Mike Fifer. He and Robin run what, in my humble opinion, is the best online N scale hobby supply on the web, Fifer Hobby Supply. They have phenomenal customer service, competitive pricing, and a true understanding of the hobby. The ACT, The Albuquerque Carnuel & Tijeras RR is a great example of his skill and craftsmanship.

Well, here goes. First attempt at blogging. After reading the interesting going's on of our many talented members I thought I'd take the plunge. Not sure it will be worth reading but I think my grandson's will get a kick out of it. Their dad's will have to read it to them as they're still to young to read. They love to run "Bapa's" train and since I upgraded my Prodigy Express with the Advance cab I have 2 cabs. One for them, and one for me.
