Jason, I agree with you. Ever since the server crash, things have been very quiet. Not that I want to go back to some of last year's tirades, though. Remember the "shade of green paint" thread?
Now that winter is gone here in Vt (we did have snow flurries this morning) I have installed the second running track and a passing siding on the elevated steam track started last year. The new support structure settled a bit in spots during its first winter, and I'm working to level it now; the adjustable EMT legs make that easy. Then, the track gets ballasted with crushed quartz filtration media from the pet store, with mulch and moss landscaping along the edges of the pans.
Llyn Rice and I have steamed at each other's tracks over the last couple of weeks, and he and Don Howard were here last week for a warm afternoon of running. Another friend, Don Buesing, will be over soon to fire his new C-19 for the first time. Don is a founding member of the Adirondack Live Steamers, but this is his first venture into G1 live steam.
Now, for when my AC 4-4-0 finally shows up after three years of waiting (I'm being nice now-no rant), There are three modified and relettered J&S coaches for it to pull. A matching combine is currently being constructed from a fourth coach; this will be of a different style from what AC is showing for theirs.
OK, now who is next for something for the pot----
