Testing my VIA engines today on my layout, the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale, in anticipation of the arrival of the new Canadian 10 coach set by Rapido Trains Inc. 

The model railroad I’ve been building in my middle school classroom has been more or less frozen in time since students went home due to Covid last March. Teaching remotely was and remains a tremendous challenge for all parties involved, and when most students started returning to campus a few months ago the transitions and complications were even more challenging, taking a big toll on my outlook for my unique circumstances of being able to leverage my hobby interests in my professional life. 

We had that big discussion a month or so ago about what will happen to the trains after were looking at the bottom side of the daisys.  Here's one that came to me recently.  I don't know the back story, it is from a coworker's father in law and he has been gone for years.  That is all I know.

Enjoy all that I have done...so far.
