Before we moved out of New Haven I had this coaling tower as a project on my New Haven, East Rock and Cedar Hill Railroad.

Another shot that undoubtedly inspired the companies that make the models. If ever there was a picture of The Mighty New Haven this is it.

I think I have these in HO scale. As in these numbers.

Ran across this picture of New Haven locomotives and rolling stock in New Haven back in 1967 in a group and it got me to thinking: The basement has been dry for a long time and it might just be time for me to dream of building yet another vast rail empire.

Saw this caboose while I was out running errands last week.

Figured I would take a couple of shots and post them since I haven't bothered with this page since my basement was flooded a while back.

I am thinking about resurrecting my vast (HO scale) rail empire now that the basement has stayed dry for a few seasons.

Basement prep continues! I picked out these two colors and asked that the lighter blue be feathered up into the darker blue to simulate the way the sky is a lighter blue at the horizon.

The painters failed me on this one.

We will FINALLY move into the house we bought in July of 2016 at the end of October 2018 after expanding the footprint of the house so we could renovate the kitchen and the basement. Once we have gotten our stuff out of storage and once again have a working kitchen it will be time to raise my vast rail empire from the ashes for a third time.

For now enjoy this image of an FL9 "cockroach" taken in Canaan, CT in December of 1963.

EF-4 No. 300. Reminds me of my EF-4 models.

The basement is heading towards completion and I'm starting to get psyched about getting the Concord version of my layout up and running.

Gotta go to bed but not until I post this sweet RS3.

Looks like the kitchen will be up and running in the next month and a half which means I can get my contractor to do the benchwork. For right now I have to admit that I am super psyched about the foam insulation being blown in because this means I am *that* much closer to having walls in the basement again.
