(Author's Note: As you can see by the date
above, real life has gotten in the way of progress on the layout. I have not had
time -- or money -- to be involved with the travails of railroad building in the
past several years. Due to health issues, I have been forced to take a major cut
in pay, due to lessened ability to work. As of right now, the company for which
I worked has closed over 60% of their facilities. I am now, once again, looking
for work, but this time with a much lessened physical ability and stamina. Life
is again getting "interesting". Stay tuned for details. -- S.)
Welcome all to this place of personal creativity and discovery.

First a couple of personal notes. I am a
"semi-retired" professional entertainer. I say that because after a
somewhat successful career as a television performer, I had relegated myself to
working in a retail store to get the health and retirement benefits that a
performer doesn't have. I do this because most of my earnings from television
(what I didn't lose in "the market" in 1987) has been used to pay
medical expenses for diabetes, gall bladder, arthritis (from doing stunts and pratt-falls on TV) and other assorted ailments.
Now nearly 75% of my Unemployment benefits goes to pay my COBRA.
I'm not really complaining, though. I have had what I consider a
wonderful life. So, in a fit of "middle-aged crazy", I have decided to return to a hobby of my childhood, model
railroading.
This web site will be a chronicle of that return journey and I
invite you all to enjoy it with me.
As of this update (10/21/2007 04:07 PM ), some detail work has been
done. Check out the "Summer 2007" page for
pictures and exposition. Actually, you may have more fun re-visiting the entire
tour.
Keep
checking back in (and please remember to sign the guestbook).
