First off, Happy Thanksgiving! It was another good day for me yesterday with USPS. A lot more packages started to come in from Ebay and Facebook purchases. A bunch of the N scale buildings I will be using for the city started coming in. I am still waiting on a few more, but from the looks of it, I may run out of room in the city. My plan for the city may have to slide more into my suburban area.
First off, Merry Christmas to everyone... When I first wanted to get (back) into Model Railroading, the one locomotive that I knew I really wanted was a Chicago Metra locomotive. Growing up on the West Line and riding the Metra into the city, I always loved this locomotive. So last night on Christmas Eve, my youngest child, wife and I opened presents. To my behold, my wife got me a KATO EMD F40PH in the Chicago Matra liverly along with it being the “City of Elmhurst”, Elmhurst is the suburb I grew up right next to on the West Line. Since I knew I wanted one for my collection, I already had a TSC DCC K5D7 decoder ready for it, so this morning I followed the directions and got the decoder soldered into the locomotive and then programmed on my layout. It really is a Merry Christmas!
