Image of the Month

I thought it would be cool to post a 1903 film called "the Great Train Robbery"

Of particular interest is the way they transposed the train film onto the windows in the film sets, very clever for the age. Enjoy...

Busy Times

Its has been a while since the last posting, I have been neck deep into working on my layout room. Being that I live in a victorian home, nothing is easy. One major problem I have encountered is having to demo a 117 year old brick fireplace chimney. And it was massive but unfortunately it could not be saved due to cracks and such. so that is done, insulation, sheet rock, vapor barrier, and electrical (major overhaul). I will be painting this one room (of two) this weekend and then I am off to Houston for the great texas train show. Hope to see you there.
