Who am I?
4/01/2009: New page-- Timeline Photos.  A chronological look at the Moffat line from 1970 through the present, as re-enacted on my layout...

3/17/2009:  Added photo of my brand-new SD9043MAC to the Scenery & Structures page.  Yup.  I'm working on adding a modern UP era to the layout.  Don't worry, though-- I'm not getting rid of the Rio Grande stuff!  It just gives me the modern option too.

3/06/2009: Brought the Equipment page up-to-date, and added a photo of the grain elevator to the Scenery & Structures page.

2/23/2009:  Updated basically everything.  Status reports are now current.  More interesting to most people will be the addition of a newly-completed scene, Tunnel 30.  Photo on the Scenery & Structures page.  I also switched out the photo of SD50 No. 5507-- it now poses at the new T30 scene (see the Equipment page).
