    We are heading into the last weekend of September believe it or not. Hard to believe October is knocking on our doors!

    Saturday: No real plans yet, my Dad and I have a major bathroom re-model project that may take a bit of our time. I have yet to play with my new Athearn Genesis early BN GP-7. I wish now I had brought all that HO track so I could at least program it. There are no hobby shops anywhere near me here in NH so I'll see if I can order some online.

    Sunday: I'm taking a break and probably taking my Jeep Jess on a trail run. I'm now the member of a local Jeep club and they are organizing a trail run Sunday morning. I think that part of the trail is the old ROW of the former B&M Suncook Valley Line. If it is, that will be a lot of fun. After that, I'm spending some time in the south west portion of the state to meet a friend and to see some ghosts of the old B&M.

    So how about you? What do you have planned for the weekend? Let us know! We'll be back on Monday the 1st of October to see how we all did. Until then, have a great weekend, stay safe and as always...

    High Greens!

    Saturday: After a couple of final touches -- I will lay down some primer on the remainder of the Lark cars. The triple unit Lark club, 4-4-2 sleeper and the ever popular 2-1-1 lounge observation.

    Sunday: First coat of paint (Lark light gray) on: 13 dbl bedroom sleepers (3), 10-6 sleepers (4), the Lark club, 4-4-2 sleeper and the observation.

    And --- continue prep for my next night train -- The Starlight!!

    Hope Y'all have a great weekend!!

    This weekend I continue working on the section I ballasted and populated with my dads models. It still needs some figures, I found a spot for cows so I need a fence, I also have a structure I started building years ago that needs finishing. Planning on doing that today.

    No LHS in NH? Sounds like a great idea to jump on Amtrak and head into NY to trainworld.

    I need a desk for my new layout space so I have a work table. So yard sale visits shall commence. I also picked up a small box to put my NCE Power Cab components into to make a portable DCC controller so that I can move stuff about as the new layout takes shape.

    But all that will be fit in around my attendance at the LSU - Ole Miss football game tomorrow night. Gotta have priorities.
