I thought about that while @ a boring meeting @ F.bureau across the street, a couple of weeks ago, as the trains rolled by.
Hard to think about spring crops, while temps are in the minus range and snow on the ground.
I have the patience but not your creativity for building any models from scratch.
Your setup looks nice, to put it mildly.
One day, it will be as extensive as Blissfield's, if you keep at it. Ha,LOL!

I have been surrounded by trains my whole life. I used to live near where that rail line is that you speak of. I actually took a train ride this summer from Allen Park to Ft. Wayne behind the NKP 765 that took us right past Archibold Equipment and through my small hometown of Sand Creek.

(Dad no longer works at Archibold farm supply he's at the turf & contractors building now.) I've seen the MR in Blissfield and there is a lot of talent and a lot of $$ in that building.
