Two big events on the immediate horizon -
1. Preparations are underway for the Southern New England to play host to the semi-annual NJ-Virginia Interchange - basically a group of operators from New Jersey. (on alternate years a group of us from down here go up there ... ). Held the weekend before Thanksgiving it's become a model railroad tradition of sorts. The stars have aligned and I'm going to host a session this year, so I've been busy getting the layout ready to go. That consists of finishing up one or two projects that have been dormant since the Spring and prestaging the layout and getting the paperwork, such as it is, set up and ready to go. More details to follow in a separate blog post.

2. I've reviewed the proof sample book of Bernie Kempinski's Modeling Civil War Railroads and after making a few minor tweaks (Christine gets a LOT of credit for editing this one!) we just ordered the intial press run. It looks great (see a couple of sample pages above) and I fully expect we'll be packing and shipping books, starting with preorders, just before the Jersey Boys show up on the doorstep! All color, 120 pages, List price $37.95+shipping, but Christine says we're going to extend the special preorder price of $32.95 "For a little while..." so get you're order in today!
