I’d pay tuition for these lessons if it meant we get to see some progress on that layout of his...
Patience. For 5 years straight I invested a large percentage of my free time in the layout. A year ago it was time to focus on other homestead needs for a bit. Over the past year I have built a new 4 rail pasture fence, a new staircase in the house, a mobile lumber rack and panel cart, workshop shelving, new deck steps, new hay bin floor and refreshed the tractor hydraulics. So I have been busy, just not on the layout. I'll be back to the trains this winter.
