All is well here. Ran three trains last weekend and no major maitenance needed.
Still working on the Jamestown general office details.
I was invited by Gerald Hanford for a day trip with 8 of the local train guys and two from the Bay Area to Tilden Park above Berkeley/Orinda to ride the Redwood Valley Railway. He has worked there on and off since 1968.
What an awesome day we had on this 70 year old, 15 inch guage railway, with tours of all the shops, engine houses and car barns. They took us out on our own train to cover every foot of track on this extensive line. They even offered us to engineer our train on the back tracks. I had two runs, it felt really good have a throttle back in my hand.
We were also treated by our gracious hosts with lunch, dinner and fun conversations with the crews.

YOU MUST GO VIST THIS UNIQUE RAILWAY IN THE HEART OF THE BAY AREA!
