Thanks to all of you for taking the time to write and for the kind words. To tell you the truth (and of course I will), I'd forgotten about this project until I saw Saucy Jack's station posting. When I located where the station and train had been stored for the last few years, I was really pleased with what I saw and decided it was worth sharing. Rob, you are absolutely right about about the swap meet... it has been generous to me in the extreme over the years. pocoloco, there really isn't a plan in terms of track as yet. I tend to buy every straight section I find at the swap meet without much thought as long as the piece(s) is $1 or less in price and that's pretty much the norm. Dozing Dragon, I probably should have painted the background for the sign in beige rather than pale sand. Fortunately, when I made the sign, I made two of them so I'll use beige for the background on the second when I get around to giving it a place name. Once again, thank you all for writing and the generous comments. Richard
