New Power & Test Track

This post is late coming, quite late to be honest...but here it is!

Back in May, I had a responsibility as a groomsman at a wedding in Sussex.  I should quickly add that between shooting (photographing) and attending/standing in weddings so far since the beginning of May, I am currently at five so far.

Returning to the context of my original statement, I knew I'd be passing through Moncton, and had conveniently found a locomotive for sale through a Facebook modelling group.  I'll also add a plug here for the various groups available on the social media site and how easy it is to buy, sell, and trade through the popular website.  Communicating through a series of Facebook messages, I was able to meet up with the fellow selling the unit, and here she is in all her glory!  This will be my first model that I will take the time to super detail.

New addition to the fleet, an SD70I, prototypical for the Sussex Sub.
After getting the SD70I, I realized I should have a test track to test models both BEFORE and after purchasing them.  Mind you, I bought from a very trustworthy source and after testing had no problems at all.  It is a very rough test track and I will have a photo of it someday...but for now, you can use your imagination and dream up just what it looks like! :-)

Again, sorry for the long overdue post.  Having just gotten married within the last month, life has been busy, but going well.  In my next post I'll share about my visit to a well known hobby store in Rhode Island.

Oh yes, Happy Canada Day to my fellow canucks!
