Where I was for a chunk of the past
year: San Francisco. Milano streetcar on
the fabled F-Line

Hey loyal
Up Dunes Junction readers, we're back after nearly a year on the road with new work and family responsibilities. An exciting new work opportunity has put me back out on the road again--check out some snapshots from my travels.
Look forward to semi-regular posting again. Some upcoming topics include:
- Ongoing build of the Island Model Works NICTD/South Shore Nippon Sharyo coach. Parts cleanup is more or less complete, and now solving and testing engineering (drive, lighting, DCC) problems
- Solving engineering problems on 70s-vintage brass South Shore models
- Mom's old school bus in HO, including correct markings (maybe I should form a Yahoo HO school bus modeling forum)
- Other Northern Indiana/Calumet Region rolling stock projects
- Northeast Corridor rolling stock
Also will be fixin' up the blog. Layout changes and repairs to broken photo links in old posts are coming.
Meanwhile, welcome back and have a look at some photos of electric railroads from my travels.
