A New Hobby??? Say it isn't so!

Oh, it be so!  The train room is now a multi-purpose room... well at least dual purpose.  I recently got involved in a new hobby, Radio Controlled Airplanes.  I am the proud owner of a Super Cub!

I have the plane assembled and ready for its first flight!  Unfortunately, the weather is less than favorable and the maiden flight will have to wait until Spring!

Work on the railroad continues (slowly), even with the new distraction.  Additional base scenery is in place in Walnut, Illinois, making that area of the railroad about 75% complete as far as base scenery is concerned.  The next major project on the radar is the construction of the bridge/trestle (not sure which to do) at the Green River.  This will involve not only the bridge itself, but also the surrounding embankments, riverbed, and Woodland Scenic water.  Stay tuned for updates and pictures of this exciting project!

Thanks for visiting!
Happy Railroading!

    I have had the same distraction. I wish you better luck than I had. I remember tossing rocks at it to get it out of a tree about 80 feet up.

    Hi Joe,
    That does not sound like a good way to end a flight! My intent is to start flying in a BIG field with only blades of grass to get in the way! Thanks for posting your comment.
