    well ... nothing really, from my side.

    i have been overwhelmed with some family concerns. my oldest son is in a difficult marriage (1 year) and it has occasioned much grief all around. can't say more than that, but it has been numbing.

    i try to work on something, even just run my trains ... and usually just sit there staring most of the time. i've begun to think again about making an SD9 and it has been pulling at me. maybe there will be enough peace in my life in the next few weeks that i can find some solice and relief in the work.

    until then i just read the forum, try to contribute a word here and there, and walk and pray a lot.

    David, I wish you the best. Nobody ever knows someone else's situation, but one thing I do know is there is nothing wrong with just running the trains. Many times I do my best modeling at 1 or 2 in the morning when the kids and the wife are asleep and I am dealing with pressing issues. Again, I wish you all the best!

    David, I can understand what you are going through. Trains are fun, but nothing brings more joy to a father then seeing his children do well. For their sake, I hope they can work out their problems.

    Like Joe said, sometimes when I have problems, I just run trains. Its a perfect scape, if only for couple of minutes. I also wish what is best for your family.
