On our family vacation to the national parks of Canada and the USA. We had the chance visit a wonderful HO layout located on Schweitzer Mountain in Sandpoint Idaho - It is work of Dave Caldwell who was a great host to us. Sam L. and Jack L. along with Great Uncle Serve W. had a great time. Thanks Dave!

Newest Motive Power

My latest motive power for the layout!

They need to be taken apart and dullcoated, paint the handrails, and grime then up a little! Not much else going on with the layout. Hope to get some work done in the next few weeks!!!
