It was showtime at the Hiller.

Silicon Valley Free-moN had our modules set up and trains running only to find...

ONLY ONE PASSING SIDING ON THE WHOLE LAYOUT????

We had over a week of show and the ability to run only two trains at a time?

What would happen next Sunday when the whole group showed up and wanted to run trains?

Something had to be done!

So I built (most of) a staging yard in (most of) a week.

I have a small stockyard on my layout that I based on one near my home town.  It was owned by a neighbor with a distinctive name and had that name painted in LARGE block letters on its board wall.  When I got out my 40 year old dry transfer letter sheets to add the name, it was of course dried out and unusable.  At my local art supply store there was one employee old enough to remember dry transfers, but none to be had.  Of course I can print any font and size on paper, but I didn't want a sign posted on
