But, but ... Joe, youz two didn't meet at the WW&F, did ya??
Anyway, the FWW will be a great time to be working on a narrow gauge railway in New England. The new shop floor just got poured yesterday so by early October we should be re-connecting the yard leads and switching rolling stock (especially #67) from the car shed to the shop building. We should be installing grab irons, stirrups and brakes next month so the car can be painted before the weather gets colder.
Narrow gauge track work, wooden rolling stock construction, great chow and #9 in steam. What could be better?
